Cisco Catalyst 9300L - Network Advantage

The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches are Cisco’s leading stackable enterprise switching platform designed for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud. They represent the next generation of the industry’s most widely deployed switching platform. Catalyst 9300 Series switches serve as the foundational building block for Software-Defined Access (SD-Access), Cisco’s leading enterprise architecture. With up to 480 Gbps, they offer the industry’s highest-density stacking bandwidth solution and the most flexible uplink architecture. The Catalyst 9300 Series is the first optimized platform for high-density Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11ac Wave 2, setting new maximums for network scale. These switches are future-ready, featuring an x86 CPU architecture and increased memory, allowing them to host containers and run third-party applications and scripts natively within the switch.

The Catalyst 9300 Series is designed for Cisco StackWise technology, providing flexible deployment with support for nonstop forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), ensuring the most resilient architecture in a stackable solution with sub-50 ms failover. The highly resilient and efficient power architecture includes Cisco StackPower, which delivers high-density Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE) and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) ports. The switches are built on the Cisco Unified Access Data Plane 2.0 (UADP) 2.0 architecture, which not only protects your investment but also allows for larger scale and higher throughput. A modern operating system, Cisco IOS XE with programmability, offers advanced security capabilities and Internet of Things (IoT) convergence.
