The Cisco Catalyst 9300X-12Y-A is a high-performance, stackable Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise campus aggregation, data center edge, and high-speed fiber deployments. It comes equipped with 12 x SFP28 ports (25G/10G/1G) and a modular uplink bay. The "-A" suffix signifies it includes the Cisco DNA Network Advantage license, unlocking full Layer 3 routing, advanced security, and comprehensive automation capabilities.
12 x SFP28 Ports: Multi-rate fiber ports supporting 25G, 10G, and 1G connections, ideal for aggregating high-speed access switches or servers.
Modular Uplink Bay: 1 x hot-swappable slot supporting high-speed modules:
2x 100G/40G (C9300X-NM-2C)
4x 100G/40G (C9300X-NM-4C)
8x 25G/10G (C9300X-NM-8Y)
Non-PoE: Optimized for pure data switching in high-bandwidth, fiber-rich environments.
StackWise-1T: Industry-leading 1 Tbps stacking bandwidth; stack up to 8 switches for unified management and massive scalability.
StackPower: Power supply sharing across the stack for N+1 redundancy.
Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF/SSO): Sub-50ms failover for zero downtime during stack transitions.
UADP 2.0sec ASIC: Wire-speed Layer 2/3 switching with built-in hardware security acceleration.
MACsec-256 Encryption: Line-rate hop-by-hop security on all ports.
100G Hardware IPsec: Accelerated site-to-site and cloud VPN encryption.
Full Layer 3 Routing: Supports OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, VRF-Lite, and IPv6.
