Description

The Cisco C9300X-48HXN-E is a high-performance enterprise access switch engineered for demanding campus and branch networks. Featuring 48 multigigabit PoE++ ports (8×10G + 40×5G) with up to 90W UPOE+ per port, it powers Wi-Fi 6E access points, IP cameras, and IoT devices. Built on the UADP 2.0 ASIC with StackWise-1T technology delivering 1 Tbps stacking bandwidth, this Layer 3 switch includes hardware-accelerated 100 Gbps IPsec encryption and supports modular uplink expansion. The Network Essentials license provides robust Layer 2/3 connectivity, security features including Encrypted Traffic Analytics, and NETCONF/RESTCONF automation.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the 8-port and 40-port multigigabit speeds on this switch?
A: The C9300X-48HXN-E features a mixed-speed configuration: 8 ports support up to 10GBASE-T multigigabit (100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G) for high-bandwidth devices, while 40 ports support up to 5G multigigabit (100M/1G/2.5G/5G) for standard enterprise endpoints. All 48 ports provide 90W UPOE+ power.

Q: How much PoE power can this switch deliver, and can it be expanded?
A: The default configuration provides 690W PoE budget with the 1100W power supply. By adding an optional secondary power supply, you can expand to 1040W (with 350W PSU), 1405W (with 715W PSU), 1790W (with 1100W PSU), or 2590W (with 1900W PSU) for maximum device density.

Q: What uplink options are available for this switch?
A: The C9300X-48HXN-E includes one modular network module slot that supports various Cisco uplink modules including 10/25/40/100 Gbps options (C9300X-NM-2C, C9300X-NM-8Y, C9300-NM-2Q, etc.). Network modules are sold separately. Note: some modules have limited port availability when used with 48HXN models.

Q: Is the Network Essentials license sufficient for most enterprise deployments?
A: Network Essentials provides comprehensive Layer 2/3 features including VLANs, STP, LACP, static routing, OSPF, QoS, MACsec encryption, and Encrypted Traffic Analytics. It's ideal for access layer switching. If you need advanced features like SD-Access, full BGP, or LISP, consider upgrading to Network Advantage or DNA licenses.

Q: Can this switch be stacked with other Catalyst 9300 models?
A: Yes, the C9300X-48HXN-E supports StackWise-1T stacking with up to 8 members. It can be mixed-stacked with other Catalyst 9300X and 9300 models at StackWise-480 speeds. Stacking cables (STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M, STACK-T1-3M) are sold separately.
