ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A is a Layer 3 embedded switch bundle containing a mainboard and expansion board, rather than a finished desktop or rack-mounted switch. The combination provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and two fixed 10G uplink interfaces; eight Gigabit interfaces can support copper/fiber combo implementations. Network Advantage supplies the routed feature set for the completed system. The Cisco Embedded Services 3300 family serves industrial equipment requiring integration into a custom host, so the purchase is a board-level networking component rather than a ready-to-connect enclosure. ESS-3300-24T-CON-A includes cooling plates, while this version leaves that thermal hardware out of the bundle.

Line-rate forwarding covers all ports and packet sizes. OSPFv2, OSPFv3, EIGRP, IS-IS, RIP and PBR provide routing options, while PIM-SM and PIM-DM support multicast routing. ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A carries 4 GB of DRAM and 4 GB of onboard flash, including 1.5 GB of user-accessible flash. MACsec-256 protects supported Gigabit downlinks, but MACsec is unavailable on the two uplink interfaces at either supported speed. The completed enclosure determines the usable operating-temperature range; the board component temperature rating is not an enclosure-level operating guarantee.
ORM Systems offers ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a three-year extended warranty for new units and up to one year for certified refurbished units; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed and clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantity on the purchase order, keeping Cisco's one-year Limited Hardware Warranty separate from ORM coverage. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

When retiring discontinued ESS-2020-24TC-NCP or ESS-2020-24TC-NCPB hardware, this bundle is a named migration option. Support for those predecessors ends July 31, 2027. Treat the change as an integration project rather than a mechanical substitution, and verify carrier connections, power delivery and enclosure compatibility before issuing the PO.
For an industrial host requiring separate routing contexts, VRF-lite supports 16 VRFs. Map the required routing domains before selecting the embedded networking assembly, keeping the context count distinct from route capacity. Specify the routing configuration and validate the intended segmentation during host-system acceptance testing.
During laboratory bring-up, removable storage can be part of the staging workflow rather than an assumed bundle item. An optional 4 GB SD card is supported but is not shipped by default. Include the required removable storage explicitly and define the startup-image and configuration-loading procedure before ordering staging units.
Ready-to-connect rack-mounted switching
The bundle uses board-to-board connections rather than a finished Ethernet front panel. A completed host must provide the enclosure, external connections and integration hardware.
MACsec encryption on uplink interfaces
The two 1G/10G uplink interfaces do not support MACsec at either speed. MACsec support is confined to the supported Gigabit downlink interfaces.
Included conduction-cooling plates
ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A omits cooling plates. ESS-3300-24T-CON-A includes them with the mainboard-plus-expansion configuration; specify that variant when the host requires the supplied thermal interface.

ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A identifies an Embedded Services 3300 mainboard-plus-expansion bundle with 24 Gigabit copper-capable interfaces, no cooling plates and Network Advantage software. ESS-3300 identifies the family, 24T identifies the expanded interface configuration, NCP identifies the cooling-plate omission, and A identifies the included network license tier.
ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A supports a web UI, Cisco CLI, SSH, Telnet, RS-232 console, USB console, SNMP, NETCONF and RESTCONF. The host implementation must expose the required physical access connections. Specify the intended local-console, remote-administration and automation methods when defining the completed system's management arrangement.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Embedded Services 3300. Hardware lifecycle status is separate from the retirement of individual Cisco IOS XE releases. For a new integration, identify the intended software release and its support milestones separately from the board bundle's hardware purchasing decision.
ORM Systems offers ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A new sealed or certified refurbished; Cisco's platform warranty is a one-year Limited Hardware Warranty. ORM's warranty is up to a three-year extended warranty for new units and up to one year for certified refurbished units. Returns are 30 days for every condition; terms apply.
ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A includes permanent Network Advantage; the family also supports permanent Network Essentials and term-based DNA Essentials or DNA Advantage add-ons. Continuing DNA features requires renewal before expiration. Alternatively, deactivate the add-on and reload to retain base-license operation. Confirm entitlement allocation and subscription duration on the quotation.
ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A replaces discontinued ESS-2020-24TC-NCP and ESS-2020-24TC-NCPB configurations. Both predecessors reached end of sale on July 19, 2022, with support ending July 31, 2027. For a migration purchase, verify the host integration, carrier interfaces and thermal arrangement rather than assuming the replacement is mechanically interchangeable.
ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A includes Network Advantage, whereas ESS-3300-24T-NCP-E includes Network Essentials. The difference is the permanent network software tier, not the expanded board configuration. Select the Advantage version for its routed feature set; the Essentials version addresses purchases requiring the family's base switching capabilities without that routing entitlement.
ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A excludes cooling plates, while ESS-3300-24T-CON-A includes cooling plates with the mainboard and expansion board. Both carry Network Advantage. The NCP bundle suits a host with its own thermal implementation; the CON bundle suits an integration that requires the supplied conduction-cooling plate arrangement.
ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A combines the mainboard and expansion board for 24 Gigabit interfaces, while ESS-3300-NCP-A supplies the mainboard with eight Gigabit interfaces. Both retain two 10G uplink interfaces. Choose the expanded bundle for the larger interface requirement; choose the mainboard-only version when the host needs fewer connections.
No, ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A requires integrator-provided controller circuitry in the host system to deliver PoE. The circuitry is integrated into the host motherboard rather than supplied by an external injector alone. Specify the controller implementation, host power supply and endpoint-power allocation together before treating the completed system as PoE-capable.
The Embedded Services 3300 bundle exposes network signals through board-to-board connectors, rather than supplying a finished RJ-45 front panel. Its Ethernet interface counts describe the networking resources available to the host design. Confirm the carrier's copper connections, optical interfaces and external connector arrangement before ordering the integration hardware.
ESS-3300-24T-NCP-A requires host-supplied 3.3V DC and 5V DC rails, each within the specified ±3% tolerance. The combined boards consume 24W typically; that figure is not a maximum system draw. Verify the host rail design and include any additional circuitry when sizing the completed system's power provision.
