Cisco Catalyst C9300-24T 24-Port Data-Only Enterprise Switch Network Advantage & Essentials
Cisco Catalyst C9300-24T 24-Port Data-Only Enterprise Switch Network Advantage & Essentials
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series 24-Port Data-Only Enterprise Switches (C9300-24T-A / C9300-24T-E)
Quick Buying Guide
-
Shared High-Performance Hardware: Both the C9300-24T-A and C9300-24T-E share the same enterprise-grade hardware: 24 Gigabit RJ-45 data-only ports, 480 Gbps StackWise-480 stacking bandwidth, and flexible modular uplink slots.
-
Network Advantage (C9300-24T-A): Built for advanced networking. Choose this version if your enterprise requires complex routing (BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS), network virtualization (VXLAN, VRF), or Cisco SD-Access automation.
-
Network Essentials (C9300-24T-E): High-value foundational access. Ideal for traditional campus or branch environments that require robust Layer 2 switching and essential Layer 3 routing (RIP, OSPF Stub) without the complexity of SD-Access.
-
Pro Tip: Since these models are Data-only (no PoE support), they are perfect for office workstations, server aggregation, or high-density data centers. If you need to power devices like IP phones or wireless APs, please consider the C9300-24P or C9300-24U series.
Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 9300-24T Series is a premier stackable enterprise access switching platform, designed to provide high-performance data connectivity for the hybrid enterprise. As a core member of the Catalyst 9000 family, these models provide high-speed, wire-speed data throughput, omitting PoE circuitry to focus on efficiency in data-centric deployments.
Running on the modern Cisco IOS XE operating system and powered by a multicore x86 CPU and Cisco's programmable UADP 2.0 ASIC, the C9300-24T series supports containerized application hosting. Whether you select the Advantage or Essentials license, these switches offer unmatched resilience via StackWise-480 technology and future-proof modular uplink capabilities, ranging from 1G to 40G.
Core Highlights
-
24 Gigabit Data Ports: 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports delivering wire-speed, non-blocking performance.
-
Flexible Modular Uplinks: Features a hot-swappable uplink slot supporting 1G (SFP), 10G (SFP+), 25G (SFP28), and 40G (QSFP+) modules to scale with your needs.
-
StackWise-480 Resiliency: Stack up to 8 units into a single logical entity with 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth and sub-50ms failover.
-
Enterprise-Grade Security: Includes line-rate AES-256 MACsec encryption, hardware-anchored Secure Boot, and Trust Anchor Module (TAM) for hardware authenticity.
-
Programmability & Telemetry: Native support for NETCONF/RESTCONF, gNMI, and streaming telemetry for proactive, zero-touch network automation.
-
Sustainability: Energy-Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) and low-power fan management.
Use Cases & Deployment Scenarios
-
Enterprise Office Connectivity: Reliable, high-speed data access for employee workstations, printers, and data-intensive peripheral devices.
-
Server Aggregation: High-density connectivity for rack-top server access or storage environments where PoE is not required.
-
SD-Access Fabric Edge (Advantage Model): Serves as a foundational node for Cisco SD-Access architecture, enabling automated, policy-driven network segmentation.
-
Campus Core/Aggregation: Leverage StackWise-480 to create high-bandwidth, resilient logical switches in standard campus access layers.
