Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switch C9300-24P-A Overview
Cisco Catalyst 9300 C9300-24P-A Switch Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 9300 C9300-24P-A is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access switch from the Catalyst 9300 Series. It provides 24 x 10/100/1000 copper PoE+ ports, a switch capacity of 208 Gbps (688 Gbps in a stack) and up to 154.76 Mpps of forwarding. As an -A SKU it runs the Network Advantage feature set, so it suits campus and branch access layers that need PoE+ for phones, cameras and access points together with more advanced switching features.
From a specification standpoint, it offers 24 ports for client, server or uplink connectivity; aggregate capacity of 208 Gbps; packet forwarding up to 154.76 Mpps. These are the original factory figures for this model, giving administrators a clear picture of what the unit can deliver before it enters service. Standard mounting, cabling and management practices apply, so deployment follows the same procedures as other Cisco hardware already running in the environment.
Typical deployments include access-layer deployments for user, phone and AP connectivity, distribution and core aggregation in campus networks, and top-of-rack and end-of-row switching in data centers. Organizations commonly source it for refresh programs, capacity expansion and spares management, keeping a tested unit on hand so outages stay short and replacements are predictable. The factory detail for this unit reads: “Catalyst 9300 C9300-24P-A 24-port PoE+, Network Advantage”. This makes it a practical choice when original-spec hardware is required at a predictable cost.
Every unit at LinkNewNet is inspected and tested before dispatch, and stock is graded, cleaned and verified for correct operation, including port status, console access and firmware state. Our warranty coverage and responsive technical support protect the purchase after it arrives, and our team can confirm revision levels and software compatibility before you order. For volume requirements we also offer configuration checks and staged delivery options.

C9300-24P-A vs. C9300-24P-E: Which to Choose
In the Catalyst 9300 24-port PoE+ range you have the C9300-24P-A (this page) and the C9300-24P-E. Both carry the same 24-port 1G PoE+ hardware and 208 Gbps capacity; the difference is the software tier - the -A runs Network Advantage while the -E runs Network Essentials. Choose -A if you need the fuller feature set, or compare against the non-PoE C9300-24T-A for a lower-cost option.

C9300-24P-A - Cisco Series Notes
This listing is part of the Cisco enterprise networking product family, sourced and tested by LinkNewNet for enterprise deployment. Cisco Catalyst or Nexus switch is typically deployed in campus access, distribution, or data-center roles. It provides reliable Layer 2/3 switching for user, server and uplink connectivity, and integrates with Cisco DNA Center or traditional CLI-based management.
Deployment guidance: When planning this C9300-24P-A unit into a network, confirm the software image (IOS/IOS-XE/NX-OS) required, the power and cooling profile, and the upstream/downstream interface types that match your existing infrastructure. For a like-for-like refresh, match the feature set of the units already in service so management and automation behave consistently.
Our Cisco reconditioning process: Every pre-owned Cisco unit at LinkNewNet passes a documented reconditioning flow before dispatch - visual inspection, internal cleaning, firmware verification, port-by-port testing, and configuration reset to factory defaults. This ensures the unit you receive operates reliably and integrates cleanly with your existing Cisco management tools.
