Product Overview
Cisco C9300-24S-M Catalyst 9300 Series Switch is an access switch of high performance, enterprise category that provides cutting-edge scalability, security, and operational effectiveness. It is part of a work family of Cisco Catalyst 9300 that is specifically designed to meet the demands of enterprise networks of the modern era, with the need to provide high resilience and connection, modularity, and management functions.
The C9300-24S-M has 24 SFP (1000Base-X) ports and is designed to support high-speed fibre access that may be used in an aggregation, distribution or high-density access application. It has a modular uplink architecture that is flexible in network design and scalability, and supports a broad variety of transceivers to address changing bandwidth requirements.
The switch is based on Cisco IOS XE software, which allows advanced Layer 2 networking, automation, and security capabilities; hence, it is appropriate in digital-ready enterprises. It facilitates the software-defined access (SD-Access) to ease control, network segmentation, and automation policy-based.
The Catalyst 9300-24S-M is designed with high resiliency and long life by enabling redundant power, hot-swappable fans, and stackable scalability (using the Cisco StackWise-480 technology), ensuring that the performance is not affected during a power outage in a critical network environment.
