FAQs

Q: What uplink modules are compatible with the C9300X-48HX-E?
A: The C9300X-48HX-E supports optional network modules including C9300X-NM-2C (2x 100G QSFP28), C9300X-NM-4C (4x 100G QSFP28), C9300X-NM-8Y (8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28), and C9300X-NM-8M (8x 10G/1G SFP+). Modules are sold separately and provide flexible uplink scalability for aggregation and core connections.

Q: What is the maximum PoE budget and how many 90W devices can be powered?
A: With the default 1100W AC power supply, the switch provides 590W PoE budget. With optional secondary power supplies, the PoE budget can be increased to 1690W, supporting up to 36 ports at full 90W UPoE+ simultaneously on a standalone switch, ideal for high-power devices like Wi-Fi 6E access points and PTZ cameras.

Q: Can the C9300X-48HX-E stack with other Catalyst 9300 Series switches?
A: Yes, the C9300X-48HX-E supports stacking with other Catalyst 9300X models at StackWise-1T speeds (1 Tbps) and can also stack with Catalyst 9300 models at StackWise-480 speeds. Up to 8 switches can be stacked for unified management with a single control plane. StackWise-1T cables are sold separately.

Q: What is the difference between Network Essentials and Network Advantage licenses?
A: Network Essentials provides Layer 2/3 switching, basic routing (OSPF), QoS, security features, and basic network visibility. Network Advantage adds advanced routing protocols (BGP, EIGRP), enhanced security (TrustSec, MACsec), application visibility and control (AVC), and advanced analytics. Both require a Cisco DNA subscription (3, 5, or 7 years).

Q: Is this switch suitable for Wi-Fi 6E access point deployments?
A: Absolutely. The C9300X-48HX-E is specifically designed for high-density Wi-Fi 6/6E deployments with 48 ports of 10G multigigabit connectivity and 90W UPoE+ to power the latest access points. The 10G port speed ensures sufficient bandwidth for multiple high-performance APs, while the high PoE budget supports power-hungry Wi-Fi 6E devices without limitations.
