The Cisco Catalyst C8300-2N2S-6T is a high-performance, 2RU rack-mountable edge platform from the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series. Engineered for medium to large enterprise branch offices and regional WAN aggregation sites, it serves as a powerful SD-WAN edge router running on Cisco IOS XE. This platform consolidates advanced routing, multilayer security, high-density connectivity, and modular service expansion into a single, scalable system, optimized for cloud-first, multi-service network deployments.
Throughput: Delivers 10 Gbps IP routing throughput and 2 Gbps SD-WAN encrypted throughput.
Multi-core Architecture: Powered by an 8-core Intel CPU with dynamic core allocation, ensuring consistent performance even with concurrent services (security, QoS, voice).
Memory & Storage: Default 8 GB DRAM (up to 32 GB) and 16 GB integrated SSD for large routing tables, application hosting, and edge computing.
Hardware Crypto Acceleration: Supports up to 9.3 Gbps IPsec (IMIX) VPN throughput, enabling scalable, high-speed secure WAN connections.
Fixed Ports: 6 x 1-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) Layer 3 ports — 4 x RJ45 and 2 x SFP (fiber/copper) for flexible WAN/LAN connectivity.
Expansion Slots:
2 x Service Module (SM): High-performance slots for advanced services (10G Ethernet, UCS-E, App Hosting).
2 x Network Interface Module (NIM): Supports legacy and next-gen WAN interfaces (T1/E1, LTE/5G, DSL, Serial).
1 x Port Interface Module (PIM): Additional expansion for legacy WAN connectivity.
5G/LTE Ready: Fully supports 5G and LTE wireless modules for redundant, mobile WAN connections.
Integrated Security Stack: Includes Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), IPS, URL filtering, and Advanced Malware Protection (AMP).
Secure Boot & Trustworthy Solutions 2.0: Provides hardware-level integrity verification and threat remediation.
VPN Suite: Supports IPsec, DMVPN, FlexVPN, and GET VPN for scalable, secure site-to-site and remote access.
Voice Gateway: Supports high-density VoIP, CUBE (SIP Trunking), and SRST with optional PVDM4 DSP modules.
Application Hosting: Runs containerized network services and third-party applications directly on the platform.
SD-WAN & Cloud OnRamp: Seamless integration with Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN for intelligent path control, application SLA assurance, and direct cloud connectivity (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
High Availability: Hot-swappable dual AC/DC power supplies, redundant fans, and In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU).
Unified Management: Managed via Cisco SD-WAN Manager, DNA Center, or CLI; supports NETCONF/YANG for automation.
TAA Compliance: Certified for U.S. federal and government deployments.
