Managed L2/L3 Gigabit Ethernet-switch Cisco C9300L-24P-4G-E

The Cisco C9300L-24P-4G-E is a managed L2/L3 Gigabit Ethernet switch from the Catalyst 9300 family designed for enterprise access and aggregation. It provides 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports with 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, supports full duplex operation and a MAC address table of 32,000 entries. Based on the Catalyst 9300 platform, the switch supports modern Cisco IOS XE programmability and is compatible with StackWise and StackPower technologies for resilient stacking and power architecture.

Advantages

The C9300L-24P-4G-E delivers a combination of high port density, enterprise-grade L2/L3 features and PoE capabilities, backed by Catalyst 9300 hardware and Cisco IOS XE software. It supports flexible uplinks and stacking, hardware designed for hosting advanced services and better throughput, and adherence to industry networking standards for interoperability.

Suitable for

• Access-layer switch in enterprise and branch networks
• Powering and connecting IP phones, wireless access points and cameras using PoE/PoE+
• Stacked deployment with StackWise for simplified management and resiliency
• Environments requiring L2 and basic L3 routing capabilities

How to use

Rack-mount the switch in a standard 19-inch enclosure and connect the 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports to endpoint devices. Configure stacking using Cisco StackWise to combine multiple switches into a single logical unit for simplified management and higher resiliency. Use the Cisco IOS XE command-line interface or management tools to set up VLANs, L2/L3 interfaces, QoS and security features. Connect uplink ports to aggregation or core switches and enable PoE as needed for powered devices.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a temperature-controlled rack, configure redundancy with stacking and enable appropriate IEEE security and QoS settings. Verify PoE budget before connecting multiple powered devices and plan uplink bandwidth according to traffic requirements.
