Routed Copper Connectivity for Enterprise Access Networks

C9300-24T-A is a managed Layer 3 access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports, no PoE output and an empty modular uplink bay. The 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Catalyst 9300 series and includes Network Advantage, placing advanced routing and segmentation in the network tier supplied with the hardware. Independently powered workstations and other data-only endpoints connect through the fixed downlinks. C9300-24P-A adds PoE+ to the corresponding 24-port configuration for buyers who need endpoint power. The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series supports standalone installations and physical switching stacks. Uplink choices include C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Y and C9300-NM-2Q, allowing the uplink connection type and speed to be specified separately from the copper access ports.

C9300-24T-A price for new stock is $2,796.15, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $5,592.00. C9300-24T-A refurb price is $951.14. C9300-24T-A is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

Technical Details

208 Gbps switching capacity defines the standalone switching ceiling, while 154.76 Mpps forwarding with 64-byte IPv4 packets provides a separate packet-rate limit for traffic sizing. OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and IS-IS support routed access, with PBR, VRRP, HSRP and PIM-SM addressing policy, first-hop redundancy and multicast requirements. C9300-24T-A has 8 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash for system operation and software storage, plus a 16 MB packet buffer for queued traffic. IPv4 resources total 32000 routes, comprising 24000 direct routes and 8000 indirect routes; the Layer 2 forwarding table holds 32000 MAC addresses. Within the Catalyst 9000 family, Cisco UADP 2.0 uses configurable templates to allocate forwarding, ACL and QoS resources. MACsec-256 provides link encryption, but hardware-based IPsec is absent. Three FAN-T2= fan modules provide N+1 cooling redundancy. The internal PWR-C1-350WAC-P supply accepts 100-240V AC, with a second internal supply supported as an option.

C9300-24T-A Use Case

Compact Data-Only Access Refresh

Deploy C9300-24T-A in campus closets where endpoints already use local power and the network team wants reliable 24-port Gigabit access without PoE spend. The switch supports desktops, printers, lab systems, controllers, and other data-only devices, while modular uplinks let each closet connect upstream over 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, or multigigabit modules as distribution capacity evolves. Network Advantage licensing supports richer routed-access and policy designs, and StackWise-480 lets multiple switches operate as one logical access system for compact enterprise floors securely.

Branch and Lab Network Standardization

Use this switch for branch offices, labs, or small campus areas that need Cisco Catalyst 9300 operations but do not require switch-delivered endpoint power. C9300-24T-A provides a repeatable 24-port Gigabit access profile for workstations, printers, local servers, security appliances, and management devices. The Network Advantage image supports advanced Layer 3 access, segmentation, automation, telemetry, and policy controls that match headquarters standards. Optional redundant power, field-replaceable fans, and modular uplink choices make it easier to stage hardware centrally and ship a consistent data access design.

Phased Modular Uplink Migration

Choose C9300-24T-A for phased access-layer upgrades where the organization wants one data-only Catalyst platform but different sites have different uplink needs. A location can start with a 1G SFP module, move to 10G SFP+ during distribution refresh, or adopt 25G or 40G modules where aggregation capacity demands it. Because the SKU includes Network Advantage, teams can standardize advanced routing and segmentation while keeping switch hardware consistent for inventory planning, lifecycle replacement, spare pools, and long-term campus expansion across multiple enterprise locations.

Best For

Discontinued Hardware Refresh

When retiring WS-C3850-24T-BA, WS-C3850-24T-E, WS-C3850-24T-S or C1-WS3850-24T/K9, C9300-24T-A is their replacement. Those discontinued models reached end of sale on October 30, 2020, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. Confirm the intended replacement configuration and migration bill of materials before issuing the purchase order.

Repeatable Branch Commissioning

When several branch sites need repeatable commissioning, C9300-24T-A supports Plug and Play provisioning with Secure Boot and Secure Unique Device Identification. Hardware identity verification accompanies onboarding rather than replacing site configuration, so specify the intended provisioning method and prepare the staged configuration before releasing the purchase order.

Software Evaluation Staging

When a test environment must validate software features before deployment, C9300-24T-A supports 90-day evaluation of base and add-on licenses. An expired evaluation cannot be reactivated after reload. Keep trial use separate from permanent production entitlements and specify the required licensed configuration before converting the staged build into a production purchase.

Not Suitable If

PoE power for attached endpoints

C9300-24T-A has data-only access ports and cannot power attached devices. C9300-24P-A provides PoE+ on 24 Gigabit copper ports while retaining modular uplinks and Network Advantage.

100G uplinks to distribution

C9300-24T-A supports uplink modules through 40G, not 100G. C9300X-24Y-A accepts C9300X-NM-2C for 100G uplinks but uses 24 fiber downlinks instead of copper access ports.

Questions & Answers

What does each part of C9300-24T-A mean?

C9300-24T-A identifies a Catalyst 9300 switch with 24 copper 1G ports, data-only operation and Network Advantage. C9300 names the switch family, 24 is the access-port count, T denotes the data-only copper configuration and A denotes Network Advantage. The model uses modular uplinks; the part number does not specify an installed uplink module.

How is the Catalyst 9300 managed?

Catalyst 9300 is managed through its embedded WebUI, local console, SSH CLI, Cisco Catalyst Center and supported Meraki dashboard workflows, including Cloud CLI. Programmable interfaces include NETCONF, RESTCONF, SNMP and streaming telemetry. Cloud management with IOS XE can keep configuration on the device or source configuration from the cloud; access depends on software and subscription entitlements.

Is the Catalyst 9300 series discontinued?

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300. C9300-24T-A remains a purchase option in this family. Its discontinued predecessors have separate milestones, so retirement dates for older switches, software releases, term licenses or accessories must not be applied to this switch hardware when planning a purchase.

What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for C9300-24T-A?

ORM offers C9300-24T-A new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Returns are accepted for 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco’s separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty covers the original owner and limits support to five years after the manufacturing discontinuance announcement.

Which licensing paths are available for C9300-24T-A?

C9300-24T-A includes perpetual Network Advantage; new orders require Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco Catalyst Advantage for a three-year minimum and a Smart Account. Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Essentials and Cisco Switching Advantage with a 36-month minimum. Expired add-ons can be deactivated, followed by a reload, while base capabilities continue; ORM new sealed orders retain the subscription requirement.

Which older switches does C9300-24T-A replace?

C9300-24T-A replaces WS-C3850-24T-BA, WS-C3850-24T-E, WS-C3850-24T-S and C1-WS3850-24T/K9. All four discontinued models reached end of sale on October 30, 2020, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. Replacement planning must use the new switch’s own configuration and licensing requirements rather than carrying the older model’s software tier into the purchase order.

Which uplink modules work with C9300-24T-A?

C9300-24T-A accepts C9300-NM-4G for four 1G ports, C9300-NM-4M for four Multigigabit ports, C9300-NM-8X for eight 10G/1G ports, C9300-NM-2Y for two 25G/10G/1G ports or C9300-NM-2Q for two 40G ports. No uplink module ships in the base configuration. Select the module and compatible transceivers separately; Catalyst 9300X network modules are not supported.

How many C9300-24T-A switches can form a stack?

StackWise-480 stacks eight C9300-24T-A members at 480 Gbps with matching network-license levels. Compatible cables are STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M and STACK-T1-3M; no separate stack-adapter kit is required. Standard Catalyst 9300 models cannot share a stack with Catalyst 9300L, Catalyst 9300LM, Catalyst 3850 or the higher-scale Catalyst 9300 models.

Does C9300-24T-A support Layer 3 routing?

C9300-24T-A supports Layer 3 routing with Network Advantage, including OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and IS-IS, alongside IPv6 routing. The hardware supports 32000 total IPv4 routes, split into 24000 direct and 8000 indirect routes. The 1000-route OSPF limit belongs to Network Essentials, not this license tier; forwarding-resource allocation depends on the configured template.

What power supply comes with C9300-24T-A?

C9300-24T-A ships with PWR-C1-350WAC-P and supports an optional second internal power supply for redundancy. The supply accepts 100-240V AC; its 350W output rating is not operating draw. With C9300-NM-8X installed, full-port traffic at 115V AC consumes 100.4W. Specify PWR-C1-350WAC-P= when ordering a matching spare and confirm the supply quantity on the order.

Is the Catalyst 9300 data-only switch rack-mounted?

The Catalyst 9300 data-only switch is a 1U rack-mount unit, not a desktop chassis. C9300-24T-A measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 449 mm deep with the default power supply, and weighs 7.27 kg. Allow space for rear power connections and stacking cables when confirming the rack layout and accessory quantities.

What is the difference between C9300-24T-A and C9300-24P-A?

C9300-24P-A supplies PoE+ on 24 copper access ports, while C9300-24T-A provides data-only ports without endpoint power. Both variants use modular uplinks and Network Advantage. The data-only model suits independently powered endpoints; the PoE+ model suits buyers who need the switch to power connected devices and must size the shared power budget.

What is the difference between C9300-24T-A and C9300-24T-E?

C9300-24T-A includes Network Advantage, whereas C9300-24T-E includes Network Essentials on the same 24-port data-only configuration. Network Advantage adds BGP, full EIGRP and IS-IS; Network Essentials includes EIGRP Stub and OSPF with a 1000-route limit. Choose the Advantage model for those advanced routing requirements and the Essentials model for the smaller routed-access feature set.

What is the difference between C9300-24T-A and C9300-48T-A?

C9300-48T-A has 48 data-only Gigabit copper access ports, compared with 24 on C9300-24T-A. Both variants use modular uplinks and Network Advantage, and neither supplies endpoint power. The 24-port model suits a smaller connection count; the 48-port model suits a purchase requiring more copper connections in one switch without changing the network-license tier.
