Important Notes

Uplinks are fixed at 4 × 1G SFP; for higher bandwidth (10G) choose the C9300L-24P-4X model.

The 505 W PoE budget may not power all ports at maximum 30 W simultaneously.

Network Essentials license includes most Layer 3 features; advanced protocols like BGP or MPLS require Network Advantage.

Stacking requires optional StackWise-320 cables or kits.
