The Cisco^® Catalyst^® 9300 Series switches are Cisco’s lead stackable enterprise switching platform

built for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud. They are the next generation of the industry’s most widely

deployed switching platform. Catalyst 9300 Series switches form the foundational building block for

Software-Defined Access (SD-Access), Cisco’s lead enterprise architecture. At up to 480 Gbps, they

are the industry’s highest-density stacking bandwidth solution with the most flexible uplink architecture.

The Catalyst 9300 Series is the first optimized platform for high-density Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11ac Wave2.

It sets new maximums for network scale. These switches are also ready for the future, with an x86

CPU architecture and more memory, enabling them to host containers and run third-party applications

and scripts natively within the switch.

The Catalyst 9300 Series is designed for Cisco StackWise^® technology, providing flexible deployment

with support for nonstop forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), for the most resilient

architecture in a stackable (sub-50-ms) solution. The highly resilient and efficient power architecture

features Cisco StackPower^®, which delivers high-density Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco

UPOE^®) and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE ) ports. The switches are based on the Cisco Unified

Access^™ Data Plane 2.0 (UADP) 2.0 architecture which not only protects your investment but also

allows a larger scale and higher throughput. A modern operating system, Cisco IOS^® XE with

programmability offers advanced security capabilities and Internet of Things (IoT) convergence.

C9300-NM-8X= is the support optional network modules for uplink ports of the Cisco Catalyst 9300

Series Switches. The default switch configuration does not include the network module.
