Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Overview What are the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches? The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches are the next generation of enterprise-class stackable access-layer switches that are part of the new Cisco Catalyst 9000 Family. These switches also support full IEEE 802.3at PoE+, UPoE, modular and field-replaceable network modules, redundant fans, and power supplies. In addition, the Cisco Catalyst 9300-based models support a variety of uplink modules for both copper and fiber uplink support. These models add even more flexibility to the interface choices that you can make in a single Cisco Catalyst 9300 Switch or in a stack of Cisco Catalyst 9300 Switches.

Can I stack Cisco Catalyst 9300 with the 3850? These switches do not stack together. Features are packaged differently between these platforms, they use different CPU architectures, and the platforms do not have the same scaling, making stacking with them impossible. Are the network modules shared between the Cisco Catalyst 9300 and 9500? No, the network modules are not shared between the Catalyst 9300 and 9500 because the ASIC, depth, and form factors are different for these product lines. Can the Cisco Catalyst 9300 act as a wired switch? The Catalyst 9300 switch provides connectivity for wired endpoints and wireless endpoints by connecting wireless access points. With the SD-Access architecture, the wired and wireless endpoints gets the same experience. What are the supported uplink modules in the Cisco Catalyst 9300? The Catalyst 9300 supports the following new uplink modules. All modules are supported across all 9300 platforms: 4 x 1 Gigabit Ethernet network module 4 x 1, 2.5, 5, or 10 Gigabit Ethernet network module 8 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet network module 2 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet network module Are the uplinks between the Cisco Catalyst 9300 and the 3850 interchangeable? All existing 3850 uplink modules may be used in the Catalyst 9300 platforms. However, the new 9300 uplinks modules are not supported on the 3850 platforms. What about service modules for the Cisco Catalyst 9300? There are no service modules for the Catalyst 9300. All functions are embedded into the platform. Where can I purchase an SSD module for the Cisco Catalyst 9300? Cisco-approved SSD modules will be made available in the future. What management ports are available on the Cisco Catalyst 9300? This switch comes with a 10/100/1000 Ethernet dedicated management port on the backside of the switch right above the console port. This port is in a separate VRF instance called “Mgmt-vrf� in order to segment the management traffic from the global routing table of the switch. Can I use both console ports on Cisco Catalyst 9300 simultaneously? No. When you use the USB console, the RJ-45 console receives the output of the USB console as well. This design
allows the administrator to see when the USB console port is in use. This capability is useful for remote administrators. Does the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Switch support auto-baud on the console port? No. What type of airflow do the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Switches support? The airflow on the Catalyst 9300 is “front and sides” to back airflow.
