Good comments on the stack power limitation of 4. You mentioned stacking up to 9 switches and while older stacking arrangements usually had a limit of 9, this model is limited to a total of 8. Thanks for sharing.

Hi and thanks for this informative video. I was wondering if you can confirm if the mgmt interface on this box will work the same as the Nexus7k where we can use as a separate vrf for management traffic only?? Thanks in advance

Hi thanks for the information about the switch.. just curious this switch can be used as a core switch? though its being sold as an access layer switch?

Can you use the stack power cables and stacking cables of 3850s for the 9300s?

good review, but do you have any idea of how to enter the Rommom mode on this thing?

Sal, Catalyst 9300 in a stack of 4, how do I set the interfaces to use all 96 ports?

Thanks. Very comprehensible overview. I also have a question : Are 24-and 48 port 9300s stackable ? I plan to order access 48 port 9300s for end-user stacks and 24-port for server stack. And also to get one extra 48 port for spare. Would I be able to also use it as spare for 24-port Server SWs ?

No problem. You can stack any flavor of the Cat 9300's together. The only thing you need to watch out for is if you had an older stackable switch. You can not mix for example a Cat 3850 with a Cat 9300. Also... For your server side of things. You may want to consider the Nexus 9K line of switches. The Nexus line was designed to be more of a Data Center centric switch. It may be worth a quick conversation with your Cisco Systems Engineer to make sure you get the correct switch in your DC.

Very good video. So is there any add-on licence require to run stacking for this C9300?

What model, part# can you recommend to replace a catalyst 3650G that will serve as an access switch? More like the switch is in every buidling department building and uplinks to the core switch in a Data Center. 48 ports (1G data, PoE). Would you recommend to get Modular uplinks of 10G or Fixed uplink? If modular you can just upgrade say to 25G, 40G or mGig? Not the whole switch like if you get fixed uplinks? Is it better to get the C9300 -xx T/P/U/S 1G or C9300L/LM 1G? I am new to Cisco switches. Thanks.

Thanks for the run down.....quick question---how do you connect power stack cables between 2 9300s? can you do Green/Yellow on top one and Yellow/Green at the bottom? Is there a right or wrong way of doing this?

Did this switch supported voice vlan per default ?

The other day I was seeing something about the power stack setup with the 3750-X's where it is the same 4 stack max, unless you use the RPS option for it, then you can stack up to the full 9 iirc. I assume it is the same situation for the 9300?

9300 and 9300X are still the best access layer switches on the market. For a core switch I would look at the 9500/9500X. If you need something larger, you could look at the 9600 chassis.

Can you stack 9200s with 9300s? I have an expansion going to happen in April and 9200s are on back order. My entire network is 9200L but I'm being told I could purchase 9300s amd they'd arrive on time. Could I stack with 9200Ls or would I need to keep them in separate stacks?

There are both 24 and 48-port SFP C9300’s for Gigabit fiber. The C9500 switches are for 10-Gigabit SFP+ and higher (QSFP+). This could be confusing if you previously used C3850’s (1Gig) and C3850XS (10Gig) switches, and assumed the same hierarchy for the Catalyst 9k family. Note that unlike the 3850’s, C9300 switches are not stackable with C9500’s.

Uplinks connect to other switches. So you would have an access layer switch like a 9300 that your users would plug into. Then you would have that switch uplinked to a core 9500 switch where all the access layer switches come together. Hope that helps!

Usually when i hear mlag that means your looking at Arista. This is typically used for data center core switches. So In that case you would want cisco nexus and vPC. The 9300 switch is designed to be an end user switch. You would plug PC’s, printers, access points etc… into them. If we look at more campus core technologies like the 9500 or 9600 then there is also stackwise virtual. Again catalyst is only recommended for campus and not for servers. Hope that helps.

Also several virtualization servers will be connected to the c9300 stack in lag config. That’s at least my intention.
