Product Information
Cisco Catalyst c9300x-12y-a is a member of the Catalyst 9300 X lineup, which is the market leader and is intended to illustrate the capacity of the enterprise campus network to achieve and remain dependable with added capacity. With 12 fixed uplink ports, it has a maximum speed of 25G, allowing organizations to future-proof their wired infrastructure for high-density wireless deployments and applications with high bandwidth demands.
StackWise-1T has simplified the process of interconnecting switches, with as many as eight switches built into one resilient system, and operates them by streamlining the use of the stack, which provides enormous throughput. Network Advantage licensees will be given privileged access to the most superior features, such as more Layer 3, segmentation, and policy administration, which will be driven by automation.
The switch is powered by Cisco IOS XE, which enables the switch to connect to Cisco DNA Center and introduces new capabilities, including intent-based networking and real-time network assurance. The C9300X-12Y-A is also made to fit high-performance, high-security, or easy-to-operate enterprises and assist them in constructing secure, intelligent, and scalable digital networks.
