Cisco Catalyst C9300-24P Ethernet Switch

Engineered for the modern enterprise, the Cisco Catalyst 9300-24P is a leading-stackable switch designed to meet the demands of security, IoT, mobility, and cloud-driven networks. This platform represents Cisco’s flagship approach to campus switching, delivering resilient performance, scalable architecture, and intelligent management that grows with your network. The C9300-24P combines 24 PoE+ ports with flexible uplinks, enabling seamless deployment of IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, sensors, and other power-hungry devices without sacrificing security or reliability. Built on Cisco IOS XE, it provides a familiar, programmable foundation for automation, policy enforcement, and analytics, making it an ideal choice for campuses, branch offices, and edge data centers seeking a future-proof network core.

  • PoE+ power for IoT and endpoint devices: The 24 PoE+ enabled Ethernet ports deliver reliable, centralized power to IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, access controllers, and a wide range of IoT sensors. This simplifies deployment, reduces the need for inline power adapters, and supports scalable, flexible network growth with intelligent power management and real-time usage visibility.
  • High-performance, multi-service capability: With fast wire-speed forwarding, Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, and advanced traffic engineering, the Catalyst 9300-24P handles voice, video, and data with low latency and dependable throughput. It supports features like multicast optimization, security policy enforcement at scale, and seamless integration with cloud-based management and analytics for a flawless user experience.
  • Stacking for scalable growth and resilience: The platform is designed to stack with other Catalyst 9300 family switches, enabling simplified management, consistent policy deployment, and hitless failover as your network expands. This architectural approach provides a scalable path from small deployments to campus-wide access-layer fabrics while minimizing disruption during upgrades or maintenance.
  • Security-first architecture: Built to defend the edge, the C9300-24P includes robust security features such as authentication, access control, and threat defense integrated into the switching fabric. Features like 802.1X, dynamic ARP inspection, IP source guard, and policy-driven security controls help protect data, devices, and users across the network while enabling secure IoT onboarding and secure roaming for mobile devices.
  • Cloud-ready management and automation: This switch runs Cisco IOS XE and is designed for modern, software-defined campuses. It integrates with Cisco DNA Center for centralized assurance, policy automation, and telemetry, and supports open APIs for custom automation workflows, enabling faster deployments, simplified operations, and proactive network optimization across on-premises and cloud-connected environments.

how to install Cisco Catalyst C9300-24P Ethernet Switch

  • Prepare and inspect: Unbox the switch and verify all components, cables, and mounting hardware are present. Inspect the chassis for any shipping damage and ensure you have access to a properly rated 19-inch rack and suitable cooling.
  • Rack mounting and power: Install the switch in a standard rack, connect the power supply(s), and ensure a stable power source with proper grounding. If your environment requires redundancy, configure alternate power paths or redundant supplies as supported by your deployment.
  • Network cabling and uplinks: Connect devices to the 24 PoE+ ports and attach the 4 uplink ports to your distribution or core network using appropriate SFP/SFP+ transceivers and fiber or copper media as needed. Verify physical link status on the management interface.
  • Initial configuration: Access the device via CLI or GUI, assign VLANs, configure basic security policies, enable PoE management, and set up routing, if required for your design. Save the configuration to ensure it persists across reboots.
  • Management integration and validation: Update to the latest IOS XE image if available, enable stacking with other Catalyst 9300 switches, and integrate with your network management platform (such as Cisco DNA Center) for centralized monitoring, automation, and policy enforcement. Validate performance and QoS settings under expected workloads.
