Description

The C9300-24P-A is a 24-port switch that offers PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) capabilities, making it an excellent choice for environments where devices like IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points need both power and data connectivity. This model is part of Cisco’s Catalyst 9300 Series, which is known for its high performance, scalability, and security features.

Key Features:

• 24 Ports of 10/100/1000 Ethernet: The switch includes 24 Ethernet ports that support Gigabit (1G) speeds, ideal for connecting various end-user devices, including desktops, printers, and other networked devices.

• PoE+ Support: The C9300-24P-A provides 24 PoE+ ports, allowing you to power devices such as IP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points directly through the Ethernet cable. This simplifies deployment and reduces the need for separate power cables and outlets.

• Power Budget: With PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), the switch supports a maximum power budget of 435W, which is suitable for powering a wide range of devices across the network.

• Stackable: Like other models in the Catalyst 9300 Series, the C9300-24P-A supports stacking. You can stack up to 8 switches, providing up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. This ensures easy scalability and high availability as your network grows.

• Layer 3 Capabilities: The switch provides Layer 3 routing (including static routing, OSPF, and EIGRP) to handle more complex network traffic. This makes it suitable for environments that require not only data switching but also intelligent routing and traffic management.

• Advanced Security: Cisco’s Catalyst 9300 Series switches, including the C9300-24P-A, offer advanced security features such as:

  • 802.1X Authentication for secure device access.

  • MACsec encryption for secure communication across the network.

  • Cisco TrustSec for simplified security policy enforcement.
