Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 9300L-48PF-4G-E is a powerful enterprise-grade Layer 3 managed switch designed for high-performance, secure, and scalable network access. Featuring 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and four 1-Gigabit SFP uplinks, it supports a variety of advanced routing protocols including OSPF, BGP-4, IS-IS, and MPLS, as well as policy-based routing and virtualization features like VRF. With a PoE budget of 890W, it is built to support devices such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points without requiring additional power infrastructure. Its stackable architecture allows up to 496 Gbps in switching capacity and 369.05 Mpps forwarding when used with Cisco StackWise-320 technology, making it an ideal solution for high-availability campus networks and branch offices.
Advanced management and automation capabilities include support for SNMP (v1, v2c, v3), CLI, NETCONF, and RESTCONF. The switch also features robust security with MACsec encryption, secure boot, FHS, and Cisco Trust Anchor module. It comes with 8 GB RAM and 16 GB flash storage, and it’s engineered for long-term lifecycle with a limited lifetime warranty and optional power redundancy.
