Built for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud
The Cisco® Catalyst® 9300 Series switches are Cisco’s lead stackable enterprise switching platform built for
security, IoT, mobility, and cloud. They are the next generation of the industry’s most widely deployed switching
platform. Catalyst 9300 Series switches form the foundational building block for Software-Defined Access (SD-
Access), Cisco’s lead enterprise architecture. At up to 1TB, they are the industry’s highest-density stacking
bandwidth solution with the most flexible uplink architecture. The Catalyst 9300 Series is the first optimized
platform for high-density Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11ac Wave2. It sets new maximums for network scale. These
switches are also ready for the future, with an x86 CPU architecture and more memory, enabling them to host
containers and run third-party applications and scripts natively within the switch.

The Catalyst 9300 Series is designed for Cisco StackWise® technology, providing flexible deployment with
support for nonstop forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), for the most resilient architecture in a
stackable (sub-50-ms) solution. The highly resilient and efficient power architecture features Cisco
StackPower®, which delivers high-density Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), 60W Cisco Universal Power over
Ethernet (Cisco UPOE) and 90W Cisco UPOE®+ ports. The switches are based on the Cisco Unified Access™
Data Plane 2.0 (UADP) architecture which not only protects your investment but also allows a larger scale and
higher throughput. Catalyst 9300X models are based on a new ASIC, UADP 2.5sec, which adds Crypto support
in hardware, including IPSEC. A modern operating system, Cisco IOS® XE with programmability offers advanced
security capabilities and Internet of Things (IoT) convergence.

The Foundation of Software-Defined access

Advanced persistent security threats. The exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Mobility
everywhere. Cloud adoption. All of these require a network fabric that integrates advanced hardware and
software innovations to automate, secure, and simplify customer networks. The goal of this network fabric is to
enable customer revenue growth by accelerating the rollout of business services.

The Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) with Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) is the network
fabric that powers business. It is an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and
simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from time-
consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively
transforms your business. SD-Access enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with foundational
capabilities. These include:

● Simplified device deployment

● Unified management of wired and wireless networks
● Network virtualization and segmentation
● Group-based policies
● Context-based analytics

Platform benefits
Cisco IOS XE opens a completely new paradigm in network configuration, operation, and monitoring through
network automation. Cisco’s automation solution is open, standards-based, and extensible across the entire
lifecycle of a network device. The various automation mechanisms are outlined below.

● Automated device provisioning is the ability to automate the process of upgrading software images and
installing configuration files on Cisco Catalyst switches when they are being deployed in the network for
the first time. Cisco provides both turnkey solutions such as Plug and Play and off-the-shelf tools such
as Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) that enable an effortless
and automated deployment.
● API-driven configuration is available with modern network switches such as the Cisco Catalyst 9300
Series. It supports a wide range of automation features and provides robust open APIs over NETCONF
and RESTCONF and GNMI using YANG data models for external tools, both off-the-shelf and custom
built, to automatically provision network resources.
● Granular visibility enables model-driven telemetry to stream data from a switch to a destination. The
data to be streamed is identified through subscription to a data set in a YANG model. The subscribed
data set is streamed to the destination at specified intervals. Additionally, Cisco IOS XE enables the push
model. It provides near-real-time monitoring of the network, leading to quick detection and rectification
of failures.
● Seamless software upgrades and patching supports OS resilience. Cisco IOS XE supports patching,
which provides fixes for critical bugs and security vulnerabilities between regular maintenance releases.
This support lets you add patches without having to wait for the next maintenance release.

Security
● Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) is a unique capability for identifying malware in encrypted traffic
coming from the access layer. Since more and more traffic is becoming encrypted, the visibility this
feature affords for threat detection is critical for keeping your network secure at different layers.
● AES-256 MACsec encryption is the IEEE 802.1AE standard for authenticating and encrypting packets
between switches. The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches support 256-bit and 128-bit Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES), providing the most secure link encryption.
● IPSec encryption delivers secure end-to-end encrypted traffic between sites and connectivity to the
Cloud. C9300X models support line rate IPSEC up to 100 Gbps delivering uncompromised secure
connectivity.
● Trustworthy solutions built with Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies provide a highly secure foundation
for Cisco products. With the Catalyst 9300 Series, these technologies enable hardware and software
authenticity assurance for supply chain trust and strong mitigation against man-in-the-middle attacks
that compromise software and firmware. Trust Anchor capabilities include:

◦ Image signing: Cryptographically signed images provide assurance that the firmware, BIOS, and other
software are authentic and unmodified. As the system boots, the system’s software signatures are
checked for integrity.

◦ Secure Boot: Cisco Secure Boot technology anchors the boot sequence chain of trust to immutable
hardware, mitigating threats against a system’s foundational state and the software that is to be

© 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Page 17 of 68

 loaded, regardless of a user’s privilege level. It provides layered protection against the persistence of
illicitly modified firmware.

◦ Cisco Trust Anchor module: A tamper-resistant, strong cryptographic, single-chip solution provides
hardware authenticity assurance to uniquely identify the product so that its origin can be confirmed to
Cisco. This provides assurance that the product is genuine.

Cloud Security
● Umbrella DNS Integration:
Small to midsize networks reliant on managed service providers can now host Cisco Umbrella agent
directly on their Catalyst 9300 series switches. This allows the business to easily customize their DNS
filtering policies granularly at user or group level to prevent BYOD or IoT guest or corporate users from
accessing malicious or inappropriate websites, without having to rely on the MSP to push the policies
out. It also lets them optimize use of bandwidth by allowing direct cloud access for trusted apps.
Requires DNA-Advantage License and Umbrella License per device.

Service Assurance
● Cisco ThousandEyes Integration:
Deliver superior network and service experience for your users, employees and partners with
groundbreaking observability from network to app. Cisco ThousandEyes network tests are now

 ● Cisco StackPower: Cisco StackPower is an innovative power interconnect system that allows the
power supplies in a stack to be shared as a common resource among all the switches. This allows
you to simply add one extra power supply in any switch of the stack and either provide power
redundancy for any of the stack members or simply add more power to the shared pool. Up to 4
switches can be configured in a StackPower stack with the special connector at the back of the
switch. However, with the use of XPS-2200 appliance, up to 8 switches can be configured in the
StackPower stack. Cisco StackPower is only supported on the models with modular uplink stack
- C9300 and C9300X SKUs. C9300X models support StackPower+ delivering up to 2,000W of
power across the StackPower cables, while C9300 models support 1,000W.

the system in under 30 seconds of traffic impact; both stand-alone and stack configurations.

◦ IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) provides rapid spanning tree convergence
independent of spanning tree timers and also offers the benefit of Layer 2 load balancing and
distributed processing.

◦ Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVRST+) allows rapid spanning tree (IEEE 802.1w) reconvergence on
a per-VLAN spanning tree basis, providing simpler configuration than MSTP. In both MSTP and
PVRST+ modes, stacked units behave as a single spanning tree node.

◦ Switch-port auto-recovery (“err-disable” recovery) automatically attempts to reactivate a link that is

disabled because of a network error.

◦ The Catalyst 9300 Series platform delivers the best NSF/SSO resiliency architecture in a stackable
solution with sub-50-ms failover.

◦ Always-On wireless network with stateful switchover when wireless functionality is enabled on stack of
Catalyst 9300 Series switches.

Software requirements
Cisco DNA Software for Access Switching is available for the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series.

Cisco DNA Software for Access Switching offers comprehensive solutions for the enterprise campus and
branch offices. Cisco DNA for Access Switching introduces a simpler and more economical way to deploy
access, aggregation, and core switches across enterprise campus and branch locations.

The Cisco DNA Subscription for Switching offer delivers an unbound network on an open and extensible
architecture to help you navigate the digital journey. This subscription offer simplifies the buying process and
includes lower initiation costs and flexible terms. It includes: Cisco DNA Premier with full Cisco DNA capabilities
and SD-Access, bundled with ISE Base, ISE Plus, and StealthWatch.

For ordering information for Cisco DNA Software for the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series, go to
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/software/one-access/switching-part-numbers.html.

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches run on Cisco IOS XE 16.5.1a release or later with the following exceptions.
Catalyst 9300 Series 1G fiber models (C9300-xxS SKUs) are supported on Cisco IOS XE 16.11.1a release or
later. Catalyst 9300 Series fixed uplink models (C9300L SKUs) are supported on Cisco IOS XE 16.11.1b release
or later. These software releases includes all the features listed earlier in the Platform Benefits section.

Licensing
Packaging
The Cisco Catalyst 9000 family of switches introduces a new and simplified licensing package in the form of
base and add-on licenses.

● The perpetual licensing package includes the Network Essentials and Network Advantage licensing
options that are tied to the hardware. Between them, the base licensing packages cover switching
fundamentals, management automation, troubleshooting, and advanced switching features. These
Network licenses are perpetual.
The subscription licensing package includes the Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco DNA Advantage
options. In addition to on-box capabilities, the features available with this package provide Cisco
innovations on the switch, as well as on Cisco DNA Center. The Cisco DNA subscription licenses are
mandatory at the time of configuration. With Cisco DNA software licenses, customers receive embedded
SWSS – which covers 24x7x365 Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support, software release
updates, advanced support analytics, and designated service management. This is valid only for the
Cisco DNA software subscription stacks (Cisco DNA Essentials, Advantage, and Premier).

Note: For full hardware support, including the perpetual network stack, customers will require Smart Net
Total Care for 24x7x365 Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support, proactive security and
product alerts, and product lifecycle management. An additional option for hardware support is Solution
Support for your multivendor Cisco solution environment.

License consumption is easily determined by the package itself. While perpetual licenses are always
permanent and without an expiration date, subscription licenses have to be purchased for a 3-, 5-, or 7-year
term (and hence are also known as term-based licenses). Table 13 shows the combinations of perpetual and
subscription licenses that must be purchased.

Table 13. Licensing combinations

Cisco DNA Essentials Cisco DNA Advantage Cisco DNA Premier

Network Essentials Yes** Yes** Yes**

Network Advantage No* Yes Yes

*
At the time of Cisco DNA license renewal, the Cisco DNA Essentials license can be purchased to be used with Network Advantage

**
Network Advantage is inclusive of Network Essentials features.

Managing licenses with Smart Accounts: Creating Smart Accounts by using the Cisco Smart Software
Manager (SSM) enables you to manage your software licenses from a centralized website. You can set up
Cisco SSM to receive daily email alerts and to be notified of expiring subscription licenses that you want to
renew.

You must order a Cisco DNA subscription term license in order to purchase a switch. When the license term
expires, you can either renew the add-on license to continue using it or deactivate the add-on license and then
reload the switch to continue operating with the base license capabilities.

Both the base and add-on licenses are also available for a 90-day evaluation period. An evaluation license is
activated temporarily, without purchase. An expired evaluation license cannot be reactivated after reload.

Note: It is not required to deploy Cisco DNA Center just to use one of the above packages.
