C9300-24P-E Overview

C9300-24P-E is a managed Layer 3 Catalyst access switch for buyers who need 24 fixed Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 downlinks, PoE+ power delivery, and the Network Essentials software image in the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series. The uplink bay is modular and ships empty, so uplink capacity is selected separately through Catalyst 9300 network modules for multigigabit RJ-45, 1G SFP, 10G SFP+, 25G SFP28, or 40G QSFP interfaces. The fixed ports handle copper access connections, while fiber or higher-speed uplink choices live in the separately ordered module rather than on the base chassis. A rack-mount form factor and default 715W AC power supply place it in wiring closets that standardize on Catalyst 9000 operations. C9300-24P-A is the closest license sibling, with the documented difference being Network Advantage software instead of this model's Network Essentials image.

208 Gbps switching capacity supports access-layer aggregation from copper endpoint ports into the selected uplink module. 154.76 Mpps forwarding rate handles 64-byte IPv4 packet forwarding on the standalone C9300-24P platform, rising to 511.90 Mpps when stacked. 445W shared PoE budget is available with the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P power supply, so endpoint power allocation should be planned across phones, cameras, access points, and other powered devices instead of assuming every port draws its maximum at once. RIP, EIGRP Stub, and OSPF for up to 1000 routes provide the Network Essentials routed-access feature set, with PBR, PIM Stub Multicast, PVLAN, VRRP, CDP, QoS, FHS, 802.1X, MACsec-128, CoPP, SXP, and IP SLA Responder also listed in the package. C9300-24P-E pairs 8 GB DRAM with 16 GB flash, supports 32,000 MAC addresses, 4094 VLAN IDs, 1000 switched virtual interfaces, 9198-byte jumbo frames, and IOS XE management through CLI, SNMP, model-driven telemetry, sampled NetFlow, SPAN, and RSPAN.

C9300-24P-E serves the enterprise access tier, where copper edge runs connect user devices, wireless infrastructure, voice endpoints, print services, and surveillance hardware before traffic moves northbound to distribution. StackWise-480 creates a single control and management plane across a stack of 8 Catalyst 9300 members, and the chassis occupies 1U in a standard rack for repeatable closet builds. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished, with refurbished units tested for boot, port, PoE, fan, power-supply, and console operation before dispatch. Send the bill of materials to ORM Systems for switch, module, optics, warranty, and delivery pricing. Enterprise and volume buyers receive configuration-led quoting for multi-closet rollouts, staged replacements, matched spare pools, and bulk procurement where consistent hardware revision, condition, accessory set, delivery schedule, and warranty coverage matter across every site.

C9300-24P-E price is $2,166.00, a 67% saving from the Cisco list price of $6,567.00. C9300-24P-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

C9300-24P-E Use Case

Access Layer Endpoint Handoff

C9300-24P-E sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs from phones, workstations, printers, cameras, and wireless access points on 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Network teams assign VLANs, QoS markings, authentication policy, and PoE budgets at the edge, then place the switch under Cisco IOS XE operations with the Network Essentials image. The 445W default PoE budget supports planned endpoint power allocation. The result is a powered access layer with defined policy boundaries and predictable copper port capacity.

Access to Distribution Uplink Handoff

The switch connects endpoint VLANs northbound to distribution through a separately selected Catalyst 9300 network module. Engineers match C9300-24P-E with modules such as C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Y, or C9300-NM-2Q according to the fiber plant, optics plan, and distribution interface speed. Access trunks, routed links, or EtherChannel groups carry the aggregated traffic away from the 24 PoE+ downlinks. The result is an access block that preserves endpoint cabling while aligning uplink capacity to the distribution design.

Stacked Closet Operations

Several C9300-24P-E switches form a StackWise-480 access stack when a wiring closet needs more powered ports under one operational view. Each member contributes 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports, shares a StackWise control plane with compatible C9300 Network Essentials members, and uses StackWise cables for the back-panel ring. Operations teams standardize IOS XE versions, VLAN templates, PoE allocation, and uplink placement before adding members. The result is higher access density with fewer independent switch management points.
