Description
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series is designed for Cisco StackWise technology, providing flexible deployment with support for nonstop forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), for the most resilient architecture in a stackable (sub-50-ms) solution. The highly resilient and efficient power architecture features Cisco StackPower, which delivers high-density Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE) and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) ports. The switches are based on the Cisco Unified Access Data Plane 2.0 (UADP) 2.0 architecture which not only protects your investment but also allows a larger scale and higher throughput. A modern operating system, Cisco IOS XE with programmability offers advanced security capabilities and Internet of Things (IoT) convergence.
Product Overview
- Highest wireless scale with Wave 2 access points supported on a single switch with select models

- x86 CPU complex with 8-GB memory, and 16 GB of flash and external USB 3.0 SSD pluggable storage slot (delivering 120GB of storage with an option SSD drive) to host containers
- USB 2.0 slot to load system images and set configurations
- Up to 480 Gbps of local stackable switching bandwidth
- Flexible and dense uplink offerings with 1G, Multigigabit, 10G, 25G, and 40G
- Flexible downlink options with 1G and Multigigabit links
- Leading PoE capabilities with up to 384 ports of PoE per stack, 60W Cisco UPOE, and PoE+
- Intelligent Power Management with Cisco StackPower technology, providing power stacking among members for power redundancy
- Line-rate, hardware-based Flexible NetFlow (FNF), delivering flow collection of up to 64,000 flows
- IPv6 support in hardware, providing wire-rate forwarding for IPv6 networks
- Dual-stack support for IPv4/IPv6 and dynamic hardware forwarding table allocations, for ease of IPv4-to-IPv6 migration
- IEEE 802.1ba AV Bridging (AVB) built in to provide a better audio and video experience through improved time synchronization and QoS
- Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE 1588v2) provides accurate clock synchronization with sub-microsecond accuracy making it suitable for distribution and synchronization of time and frequency over network
