Catalyst C9300L-48T-4X

The switch features 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T data ports and 4 x fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, enabling high-speed fiber backbone integration. Standalone switching capacity is 176 Gbps with a forwarding rate of 130.95 Mpps. StackWise-320 technology provides 320 Gbps stacking bandwidth, scaling performance to 496 Gbps switching capacity and 369.05 Mpps forwarding rate across up to eight switches. Platform resources include 32,000 MAC addresses, 4,094 VLANs, 9,198-byte jumbo frame support, and a 16 MB packet buffer. Memory comprises 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash.

Built on Cisco IOS XE and the UADP 2.0 ASIC, the switch includes hardware-based AES-256 MACsec encryption, 802.1X authentication, TrustSec, Encrypted Traffic Analytics, and full programmability via NETCONF and RESTCONF. The chassis ships with a hot-swappable PWR-C1-350WAC power supply and features three field-replaceable N+1 redundant fans for high availability.

The switch is available with perpetual Network Essentials (-E) licenses for foundational Layer 2 switching and basic Layer 3 routing (static, OSPF, EIGRP), or Network Advantage (-A) for full dynamic routing (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, IS-IS) and VRF-based multi-tenancy. A Cisco DNA subscription (Essentials or Advantage) is required for SD-Access automation and advanced assurance.

Ideal for campus access layers, administrative office networks, academic computer labs, server room out-of-band management, and high-density data environments requiring 48 ports of secure 1G access with 10G uplink capacity.
