Product overview
Cisco Catalyst C9300X-24Y-E is a 25G processor-based switch with high switching capacity designed to support the current campus aggregation and high-density accessibility layers. Having twenty-four SFP28 ports that support 1/10/25-gigabit optics, it has the headroom needed by Wi-Fi 6/6E backhaul, server uplinks, and bandwidth-intensive AV/IoT networks, as well as the low-latency and non-blocking forwarding of stack-wide.
The 9300X platform, a member of the Catalyst 9000 family, is a hardware-grounded security platform with rich Layer 3 services and operations automation-ready. Network Essentials software contained in the -E bundle consists of the foundational routing, segmentation and policy. StackWise stacking, MACsec and telemetry APIs assist you to scale safely and work with confidence across campus and branch locations.
