Cisco C9300X-24Y-M Catalyst 9300X 24-Port SFP28 Switch

C9300X-24Y-M Exact Chassis Boundary

C9300X-24Y-M is a Cisco Catalyst 9300X switch order line with 24 25G/10G/1G SFP28 downlink ports and modular uplinks. The M suffix identifies the Meraki-managed or monitored operating model; it must not be collapsed into a different C9300X PID.

Optics and uplinks are design choices

The chassis does not make every SFP/SFP28 optic or uplink module automatically compatible. Record the selected C9300X network module, every optic PID, fibre type, port speed and Cisco support result against the intended software release.

Power and rack acceptance

The published order profile uses a 715 W AC default power supply and a 1RU chassis. Confirm redundant supply requirements, input circuits, airflow direction, rack depth, cable management and service clearance before shipment.

Meraki entitlement boundary

Confirm whether the accepted design requires Meraki Advanced or Enterprise licensing, the destination dashboard organization, claimed serial ownership and the software migration path. A powered chassis is not an operationally accepted cloud-managed switch until entitlement and organization custody are proven.

Commissioning record

Capture chassis PID and serial, power supplies, fans, network module, optics, StackWise members, management claim, software version, port speeds and representative traffic. Preserve failure and rollback results as well as successful link tests.

Non-substitution decision

Compare port media, management mode, uplink module, power option, licenses and regional supply before substituting another Catalyst 9300X order line. Similar chassis names do not prove commercial or operational equivalence.

Official evidence

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series data sheet is the manufacturer reference for chassis, port, power and platform facts.
