Cisco C9300-24T-M Full Original English Official Specification Description

1. Product Overview & Suffix Definition

Cisco Catalyst C9300-24T-M is Meraki-Managed cloud-native stackable Layer3 enterprise access switch belonging to Catalyst 9300-M Meraki managed series, running IOS XE OS with centralized Meraki Dashboard cloud orchestration instead of traditional standalone perpetual DNA license (A/E suffix)Cisco Meraki.

• T: 24× 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 copper data-only ports, no onboard PoE circuitCisco Meraki
• M: Meraki Cloud-Managed chassis, requires separate subscription-based Meraki Enterprise/Advanced term license (1/3/5/7/10-year subscription, no preinstalled perpetual Network Essentials/Advantage license from factory)
• Equipped with rear hot-swappable modular network module slot, support StackWise-480 stacking (max 8 switches per stack, total 480Gbps stacking bandwidth) and StackPower cross-chassis power resource poolingCisco Meraki.

2. Port Configuration
