Managed Network Switch Cisco C9300X-24Y-A 1U 1000 Gbit/s 24 SFP

The Cisco C9300X-24Y-A is a managed network switch from the Catalyst 9300 Series designed for enterprise access networks. It provides 24 SFP ports, 10G support, and a switching capacity of 1000 Gbit/s. The switch implements a MAC address table of 32,000 entries and supports a broad set of IEEE standards for connectivity and security, making it suitable for use in stacked and standalone access deployments.

Advantages

The Cisco C9300X-24Y-A offers high switching capacity and modular SFP connectivity to support mixed fiber and copper uplinks. As a managed switch it supports industry IEEE standards including 802.1Q VLAN tagging, 802.1X access control and Power over Ethernet variants, enabling secure segmentation and device power where applicable. The 32,000-entry MAC address table and 10G-capable ports provide headroom for dense access-layer environments and aggregated uplinks.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Enterprise access layer for wired and fiber endpoints
• Campus network aggregation and stacking
• Environments requiring VLAN segmentation and 802.1X authentication
• Deployments needing 10G uplinks or high switching capacity

How to use

Install the switch in a 1U rack position and connect SFP transceivers or modules according to the required fiber or copper uplinks. Configure device management and network features using Cisco IOS XE command-line interface or supported network management tools. Define VLANs, access-control policies (802.1X), and uplink aggregation (LACP) as required for your topology, and monitor operation using SNMP or built-in logging.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use compatible Cisco SFP modules and follow Cisco guidelines for stacking, cooling, and power. Enable necessary IEEE features (for example 802.1Q and 802.1X) during initial configuration to ensure secure segmentation and authentication. Plan capacity for MAC table and uplink bandwidth when deploying in dense access or aggregation scenarios.
