Cisco C9350-24Y | C9350 24-Port 25G/10G/1G Fiber Switch, 400G Uplinks

Q: What speeds does the C9350-24Y support on its downlink ports?
A: The C9350-24Y features 24 SFP28 ports that support flexible multirate operation at 1G, 10G, and 25G, allowing you to deploy mixed-speed fiber optics in the same switch for cost-effective scalability as bandwidth needs grow.

Q: Can I stack the C9350-24Y with other C9350 models?
A: Yes. StackWise-1.6T technology allows you to stack up to 8 C9350 switches into a single logical unit with 1.6 Tbps of stack bandwidth. You can mix copper and fiber models (e.g., C9350-24Y with C9350-48HX) in the same stack for unified management and diverse port requirements.

Q: What network modules are compatible with the C9350-24Y for uplinks?
A: The C9350-24Y supports C9350-NM-2C, C9350-NM-4C, C9350-NM-8Y, and C9350-NM-8L network modules, delivering up to 400G of aggregate uplink bandwidth with support for 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G speeds. These are field-replaceable and sold separately.

Q: Is the C9350-24Y suitable for campus distribution or aggregation deployments?
A: Yes. With 24 x 25G ports and up to 400G uplink capacity, the C9350-24Y is designed for both high-speed access and distribution layer roles, connecting fiber-rich environments, aggregating traffic from access switches, or supporting data-intensive endpoints and storage.

Q: What management platforms are supported?
A: The C9350-24Y supports Cisco IOS XE for on-premises CLI and programmable management, Cisco Catalyst Center for centralized policy and automation, and Cisco Meraki Dashboard for cloud-native zero-touch provisioning and monitoring. You can choose the mode during guided onboarding.
