C9300-48T-E Use Case
Enterprise Campus Access Layer with Secure, Automated Connectivity
Scenario: A global enterprise deploys Cisco C9300-48T-E (Catalyst 9300 48-Port Data Only) with Network Essentials licenses across three campus buildings to support 2,500+ wired endpoints, IP phones and PoE-powered devices. Benefit: Achieve 1G/10G uplinks, StackWise-480 redundancy for 99.999% uptime, and policy-based segmentation via Cisco TrustSec and DNA Center automation—reducing manual provisioning time by 50% and enforcing compliance across guest, employee and IoT traffic.
Data Center Leaf Aggregation for Scalable East-West Traffic
Scenario: A financial services firm integrates Cisco C9300-48T-E switches as leaf nodes in a VXLAN/Ethernet data center fabric to aggregate 48 Server NICs per rack and deliver multi-gigabit connectivity to spine switches. Benefit: Leverage 1.44 Tbps switching capacity, 10G SFP+ uplinks, and Network Essentials features (VRF, ACLs, QoS) to lower latency by 20%, simplify micro-segmentation and accelerate service provisioning by 40%.
Manufacturing IoT & OT Network Segmentation with Catalyst 9300
Scenario: A smart factory installs Cisco C9300-48T-E at each production line to connect 300+ IoT sensors, PLCs and operator terminals over a resilient, Layer 2/3 fabric. Benefit: Enforce real-time Quality of Service for control traffic, isolate OT and IT segments with TrustSec SGT tags, and use StackWise-480 for nonstop fabric availability—improving mean time to repair by 30% and preventing unauthorized device access.
