2. Product Overview

Cisco Catalyst C9300X-24HX-M is a 1U rackmount stackable access switch belonging to Meraki-Managed Catalyst 9300X-M family, combining enterprise-grade Catalyst IOS XE switching hardware with Meraki cloud orchestration architecture. Optimized for high-density enterprise campus access, smart building IoT and large-scale Wi-Fi 6/6E deployment, equipped with StackWise-1T high-speed stacking and StackPower+ cross-chassis power pooling technology. All configuration, monitoring, firmware upgrade and policy deployment are centralized via Meraki cloud dashboard rather than local CLI management.

Port & UPOE+ Power Specifications

24×Multi-Gigabit mGig RJ45 downlink ports with auto-speed negotiation 100Mbps/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T; every port supports full UPOE+ up to 90W maximum single-port power delivery
Factory pre-installed single PWR-C1-1100WAC universal modular AC power supply; baseline available PoE budget = 735W. Optional redundant second hot-swappable 1100WAC PSU expands total PoE budget to 1590W; StackPower+ enables cross-stack power resource sharing across stacked chassis to allocate full 90W UPOE+ to required endpoints
Single rear modular uplink expansion slot compatible with dedicated C9300X uplink modules: C9300X-NM-8X(8×10G SFP+), C9300X-NM-4Y(4×25G SFP28), C9300X-NM-2Q(2×40G QSFP+), C9300X-NM-1C(1×100G QSFP28), flexible uplink bandwidth ranging from 1Gbps to 100GbpsCisco Meraki

Core 9300X Platform Hardware Performance

Standalone switching fabric capacity: 880 Gbps; aggregated stacking throughput via StackWise-1T up to 1880 Gbps; when mixed stacking with standard C9300 non-X switches, stacking bandwidth downgrades to 480Gbps
Wire-rate standalone IPv4/IPv6 forwarding throughput: 654.76 Mpps; maximum stacked aggregate forwarding rate:1398.8 Mpps
Stacking Architecture: Cisco StackWise-1T with 1000Gbps native per-stack backplane; maximum 8 identical C9300X-M switches stack into one logical device, supporting sub-50ms failover protection with NSF/SSO non-stop forwarding capabilityCisco Meraki
System core hardware: Quad-core x86 CPU, 16GB DRAM +16GB onboard flash storage, three variable-speed hot-swappable cooling fans; embedded Catalyst 9800 wireless controller supports centralized management for up to 200 Cisco enterprise wireless APs
Table Scale Parameters:

MAC table:96,000 entries; IPv4 route table:96,000 entries, IPv6 route table:48,000 entries, Multicast route table:24,000 entries; TCAM ACL/QoS capacity:24,000 entries; Jumbo frame support up to 9198 Bytes; 48MB deep packet buffer for bursty multicast and high-concurrency user traffic

3. Meraki Tiered Subscription License (-M Licensing Rule)

No factory pre-activated perpetual license; full switch functionality depends on separately purchased Meraki term subscription license (1/3/5/7/10-year options), split into two tiers:

Tier 1: Meraki Enterprise License (Base Mandatory License)

Core Layer2 functions: full 4094 VLAN, RSTP/MSTP, LACP port-channel, port security, DHCP Snooping, DAI, 802.1X/MAB/CWA wired auth, broadcast storm control, EEE energy-efficient Ethernet; basic inter-VLAN routing, static routing, RIP/RIPng, VRRP, baseline PIM multicast, fundamental ACL/QoS; full Meraki cloud dashboard management, real-time device status, firmware auto-upgrade, basic event logging.

Tier 2: Meraki Advanced License (Optional Upgrade License)

Add-on premium features: Meraki Adaptive Policy (SGT segmentation), Encrypted Traffic Analytics(ETA), IPFIX Flexible NetFlow v10, hardware-based MACsec link encryption, advanced telemetry and deep traffic analytics, full dynamic routing suite (OSPF/EIGRP/BGP/IS-IS), EVPN/VXLAN SD-Access readiness functions.

Remark: Co-term organization mode requires all 9300-M switches within one organization adopt same license tier; per-device licensing allows mixed Enterprise/Advanced on different units.
