Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 9300-24S-1A is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet SFP Layer 3 managed switch designed to serve demanding enterprise environments. Built on Cisco's popular Catalyst 9300 Series platform, it offers advanced scalability, security, and visibility via Cisco’s Network Advantage software package. With a switching capacity of 128 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 154.76 Mpps, it ensures low-latency throughput necessary for critical infrastructure tasks. The unit supports full Layer 3 routing protocols including OSPF, RIPng, and PIM-SM, enabling dynamic and policy-based network routing at scale. High-availability designs include redundancy in both power supply (dual hot-plug units) and multiple fan cooling, ensuring 24/7 uptime for mission-critical systems.
Equipped with Cisco StackWise-480 and StackPower technologies, this model supports stackable deployments with up to 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth for horizontal expansion. It includes support for extensive monitoring and management protocols such as SNMP v1-3, RESTCONF, and NETCONF, enhancing visibility and automation for large networks. With 64,000 NetFlow entries and support for up to 4000 VLANs, it’s optimized for segmentation, visibility, and traffic engineering. TAA compliance and enhanced 128-bit AES encryption make this model suitable for federal deployment. The switch also includes integrated Wireshark for deep packet inspection and supports advanced security through features like 802.1x and CoPP.
