The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-24Y-E Switch is a high-performance, stackable enterprise fiber switching solution tailored for environments that require robust security, ultra-high-speed connectivity, and flexible infrastructure management. Featuring 24 x 25G SFP28 ports and modular uplink support up to 100G, this Layer 3 switch is engineered to provide fast, high-density fiber aggregation while ensuring advanced threat defense. Powered by the specialized Unified Access Data Plane 2.0sec (UADP) ASIC, the C9300X-24Y-E integrates line-rate hardware-based crypto acceleration, making it a future-proof choice for modern corporate network backbones.

Key Features:

• 24 x High-Speed SFP28 Fiber Ports: Delivers flexible, high-density multi-rate speeds of 25G, 10G, and 1G per port to accommodate demanding aggregation and core layer requirements.
• Advanced Modular Uplinks: Supports optional high-capacity network modules (including 100G, 40G, 25G, and 10G options) for seamless network scaling and backbone uplinks.
• Enterprise Layer 3 Routing: Built-in advanced IP unicast routing protocols—including OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and static routing—facilitate complex network segmentation and traffic control.
• StackWise-1T Technology: Supports the industry's highest back-panel stacking bandwidth solution of up to 1 Tbps (1,000 Gbps) across up to 8 stack members for extreme redundancy and single-plane management.
• Hardware-Accelerated IPsec: Delivers up to 100 Gbps of line-rate hardware-based IPsec tunnel encryption to secure cloud connectivity and site-to-site tunnels without compromising throughput.
• Comprehensive Zero-Trust Security: Enhances access control with 256-bit AES MACsec link encryption, Trust Anchor technologies, and Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) for malware threat detection in encrypted streams.

Technical Overview:

• Recommended for: Medium to large enterprise cores, high-speed aggregation layers, corporate campus branches, and next-generation cloud architectures.
• Ports: 24 x 25G/10G/1G SFP28 fiber ports with supporting modular slots for optional high-speed uplinks up to 100G.
• Switching Capacity: 2,000 Gbps (up to 3,000 Gbps in a StackWise-1T configuration).
• Forwarding Rate: 1,488 Mpps (up to 2,232 Mpps in a StackWise-1T configuration).
• Layer 3 Features: Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF), VXLAN EVPN, and advanced ACLs.
• Management: Built-in WebUI, CLI, SNMP, and support for automated orchestration via Cisco Catalyst Center.
• Licensing: Network Essentials (Perpetual network stack coverage).
• Security: AES-256 MACsec encryption, Secure Boot, Secure Unique Device Identification (SUDI), and container-based application hosting support.
• Energy Efficiency: Supports low-power port modes and smart power utilization features under the modern Cisco IOS XE operating system.
