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 Networking Cloud 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
Cisco Catalyst, Cisco DNA and Meraki Software
Cisco Catalyst, Cisco DNA and Meraki Software subscriptions offer a valuable and flexible way to buy software
for the access, WAN, and data center domains. At each stage in the product lifecycle, Cisco Catalyst, Cisco
DNA and Meraki Software helps make buying, managing, and upgrading your network and infrastructure
software easier. Cisco software provides:
● Flexible licensing models to smoothly distribute customers’ software spending over time.
● Investment protection for software purchases through software services–enabled license portability.
● Access to updates, upgrades, and new technology from Cisco through Cisco Software Support Services
(SWSS).
● Lower cost of entry with the new Cisco Catalyst Software Subscription for Switching support model.
● Choose what management model works best for you – on-premises, virtual or in the cloud.
● Access to end-to-end network visibility with Cisco Spaces, service assurance through Cisco
ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics and Cisco ASAc firewall (with Cisco Catalyst and
Cisco DNA Advantage licenses).
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches lets you manage your entire switching structure as a single, converged
component. With one management system, whether on-premises or in the cloud, and one policy for wired and
wireless networks, it offers an efficient way to provide more secure access.

Power supplies
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches support dual redundant power supplies. The switches ship with one power
supply by default, and the second power supply can be purchased when the switch is ordered or at a later time.
If only one power supply is installed, it should always be in power supply bay #1. The switches also ship with
three field-replaceable fans. Power Supplies are common across the Catalyst 9300 Series.

SD-Access architecture
What if you could give time back to IT? Provide network access in minutes for any user or device to any
application – without compromise? SD-Access is the industry’s first policy-based automation from network
edge to cloud. Your foundation for your digital network, Cisco SD-Access. Built on the principles of the Cisco
DNA, SD-Access provides end-to-end segmentation to keep user, device and application traffic separate

-
without a redesign of the network. It automates user access policy so organizations can make sure the right
policies are set for any user or device with any application across the network. This is accomplished with a
single network fabric across LAN and WLAN which creates a consistent user experience anywhere without
compromising on security.
There are many challenges today in managing the network to drive business outcomes. These limitations are
due to manual configuration and fragmented tool offerings. SD-Access provides:
● A transformational management solution that reduces operational expenses and enhances business
agility.
● Consistent management of wired and wireless network provisioning and policy.
● Automated network segmentation and group-based policy.
● Contextual insights for fast issue resolution and capacity planning.
● Open and programmable interfaces for integration with third-party solutions.
For an overview of key use-cases SD-Access addresses, refer to SD-Access Solution Overview.
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
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 Cisco Catalyst and Cisco DNA Advantage License and Umbrella License per device.
● Cisco ASAc App hosting Integration:
The integration of ASAc on Cisco Catalyst 9000 switches simplifies the network design by providing the
flexibility to plug in small-form factor firewalls in the network closer to the source. It also avoids complex
tunnels to centralized firewalls. This design lowers the total cost of ownership by reducing the number of
physical firewall appliances in the network.
The ASAc Firewall App hosting solution hosts a virtual firewall or ASAc on Cisco Catalyst 9300 switches.
All the physical firewalls next to a switch can be virtualized and deployed on the switch itself. As in a
traditional network, the SecOps manage the ASAc firewalls deployed on the Catalyst switches, and the
NetOps teams instantiate the application and perform lifecycle management using Cisco Catalyst Center.

-
The SecOps team controls policy management using the Cisco Defense Orchestrator. Both the SecOps
and NetOps teams can seamlessly manage the network without any disruptions.
The container-version of the Cisco ASAc provides full firewall functionality to secure IT, OT, and IoT
converged networks. ASAc uses Layer 3 firewall policies and does a stateful inspection of the traffic.
The ASAc firewall runs on a 240G external Solid-State Drive (SSD) that is mounted on a Cisco Catalyst
9300 Series switch. Cisco Catalyst Center deploys the ASAc on these Catalyst switches, and ASAc is
then onboarded to the Cisco Defense Orchestrator.
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
integrated into Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches with Cisco Catalyst and Cisco DNA Advantage
licenses, giving you visibility beyond your campus perimeter so you solve issues faster. The Cisco
ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics license is included by default upon the selection of a
Cisco Catalyst and Cisco DNA Advantage option with a 3 year, 5 year or a 7 year subscription.
Please see this guide for more information about the free Cisco ThousandEyes entitlements that come
with your Cisco Catalyst 9300 or 9400 Series Cisco DNA Advantage subscription.

stacking bandwidth solution (320 Gbps) with StackWise-320. Up to 8 Switches can be optionally
configured in a StackWise-320 with the special Stack Kit at the back of the switch using dedicated stack
cables.
● 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 more power over StackPower cables compared to C9300 models.

Figure 7.
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series StackPower
● High availability: The Catalyst 9300 Series supports high-availability features, including the following:
◦ Cross-stack EtherChannel provides the ability to configure Cisco EtherChannel technology across
different members of the stack for high resiliency.
◦ Flexlink+: Flexlink+ allows the setting up of active and backup interfaces or port channels, which can
provide Layer 2 failover redundancy without the use of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
◦ Extended Fast Software Upgrade provides the ability to upgrade the platform software or to reload
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.

experience. It comes with the default image, so there is no need to enable anything or install any license
on the device. You can use WebUI to build configurations, and to monitor and troubleshoot the device
without having CLI expertise.
● Efficient switch operation*: Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches provide optimum power saving with
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) on the RJ-45 ports and low-power operations for industry best-in-class
power management and power consumption capabilities. The ports support reduced power modes so
that ports not in use can move into a lower power utilization state. Other efficient switch operation
features are as follows:
◦ Per-port power consumption command allows customers to specify a maximum power setting on an
individual port.
◦ Per-port PoE power sensing measures actual power being drawn, enabling more intelligent control of
powered devices. The PoE MIB provides proactive visibility into power usage and allows you to set
different power-level thresholds.
● RFID tags: Catalyst 9300 Series switches have an embedded RFID tag that facilitates easy asset and
inventory management using commercial RFID readers.
● Blue beacon: Catalyst 9300 Series switches support a blue beacon LED for easy identification of the
switch being accessed.
Open standards based fabric
The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches support modern fabric technologies such as VXLAN with BGP-EVPN
control plane, with open APIs. This technology provides the flexibility to build open standards-based fabrics to
secure infrastructure, users and data. This fabric architecture provides rich unicast and multicast protocol
support to optimally route or bridge traffic as well as support for integrated campus services all of which can be
automated via open APIs to effectively configure and monitor the network.

-
Programmability
Cisco IOS XE provides open standards-based APIs such as NETCONF, RESTCONF, gNMI to simplify
provisioning and configuration, that allows network administrators to save time when provisioning new network
devices and to prevent the human errors that often are a byproduct of manual configuration. Integrating Zero
Touch Provisioning with various DevOps toolkits allows network admins to drastically reduce the time and
resources needed to onboard a device onto their network. The ability to collect real-time statistics through
model driven telemetry through gRPC and gNMI allows administrator to integrate to many health monitoring
tools to optimize their environments and to troubleshoot and provide alerts about any potential problems.
High-Performance IP routing
The Cisco Express Forwarding hardware routing architecture delivers extremely high-performance IP routing in
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches, based on:
● IP unicast routing protocols (including static, Routing Information Protocol Version 1 [RIPv1], RIPv2,
RIPng, and Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], Routed Access) are supported for small network routing
applications with the Network Essentials stack. Equal-cost routing facilitates Layer 3 load balancing and
redundancy across the stack.
● Advanced IP unicast routing protocols (including Full [OSPF], Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing
Protocol [EIGRP], Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 [BGPv4], and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate
System Version 4 [IS-ISv4]) are supported for load balancing and for constructing scalable LANs. IPv6
routing (using OSPFv3 and BGPv6) is supported in hardware for maximum performance.
● Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) for IP multicast routing is supported, including PIM Sparse Mode
(PIM SM), and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM).
● IPv6 addressing is supported on interfaces with appropriate show commands for monitoring and
troubleshooting.
Audio Video Bridging (AVB)
Starting with Cisco IOS XE Software Release 16.8, the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series supports the IEEE 802.1 AVB
standard. This standard provided the means for highly reliable delivery of low-latency, time-synchronized audio
and video streaming services through Layer 2 Ethernet networks. The standard also makes it easier to integrate
new services and for AV equipment from different vendors to interoperate.
Benefits
● Improves quality of experience by lowering jitter and latency for time-synchronized delivery of high-
quality AV.
● Provides scalability of applications across networked deployments, including expansive and complex AV
infrastructure.
● Lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with reduced cabling (lowers CapEx) and no license fees
(lowers OpEx).
For more details about AVB and specific models supported, check https://www.cisco.com/go/avb.

Multigigabit Ethernet technology
Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology allows you to achieve bandwidth speeds from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps over
traditional Category 5e/6 cabling or above. This technology addresses the need for exponential increases in
bandwidth with the enormous growth of 802.11ac Wave 2, to be eclipsed by the growth of Wi-Fi 6 and new
wireless applications without having to replace current cabling infrastructure.
Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS)
The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches support Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) which combines the
performance and capabilities of Layer 2 (data link layer) switching with the proven scalability of Layer 3
(network layer) routing. MPLS enables the explosive growth in network utilization while providing the
opportunity to differentiate services without sacrificing the existing network infrastructure. MPLS support
includes
● MPLS L3 VPN: An MPLS Virtual Private Network (VPN) consists of a set of sites that are interconnected
by means of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) provider core network. At each customer site, one
or more customer edge (CE) devices attach to one or more provider edge (PE) devices.
● VPLS: VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service) enables enterprises to link together their Ethernet-based LANs
from multiple sites via the infrastructure provided by their service provider.
● EoMPLS: EoMPLS is a category of Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) to transport Layer 2 packets over
an MPLS backbone.
● MPLS over GRE: L3VPN over GRE and VPLS over GRE, are supported to tunnel MPLS/VPLS packets
over non-MPLS networks utilizing GRE tunneling.
Power over Ethernet leadership
Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE and Cisco UPOE+): PoE removes the need for wall sockets
to power each PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost of additional electrical cabling and circuits that
would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments. Cisco UPOE extends the IEEE PoE+
standard to double the power per port to 60 watts. This facilitates delivery of network power to a broad range
of devices requiring higher power, including virtual desktop terminals, IP turrets, compact switches, building
management gateways, LED lights, wireless access points, and IP phones. Designed for smart building and IoT
applications, Cisco Catalyst 9300 UPOE+ switches (delivering PoE power up to 90W) provide data and power
over a single cable to power devices like wireless access points, digital signage, security cameras, thermal
cameras with PTZ features, LED lighting fixtures and large display screens. UPOE+ offers reduced cabling and
installation costs without need for permits, device daisy-chaining application that require higher power draw,
real-time device information, centralized management and remote control, faster and flexible device installation
where devices can be positioned in a practical location instead of proximity to the electrical outlets.
Catalyst 9300 Series modular uplink (C9300 and C9300X SKUs) models support Cisco, Cisco UPOE, PoE+ and
PoE, thereby addressing the largest range of network power needs.
Catalyst 9300 Series fixed uplink (C9300LM SKUs) models support Cisco UPOE or PoE+ and PoE.
Catalyst 9300 Series fixed uplink (C9300L SKUs) models support Cisco UPOE or PoE+ and PoE.

The Meraki Software option combines the simplicity of the Meraki dashboard with power of Catalyst 9000
switching hardware. To satisfy high-bandwidth applications and the deployment of high-speed 802.11ax/Wi-Fi
6/6E access points, the Meraki Software option provides multigigabit ports, 480G stacking, and modular
10/40G uplinks. Catalyst 9300 models with the Meraki Software option deliver resiliency with fast stack
convergence and StackPower. They provide Adaptive Policy using an over-the-wire tag which segments traffic
into security groups to deliver scalable security. The Catalyst 9300 models integrated under the Meraki
dashboard provide a simple, powerful solution to the most demanding wired access applications.
Catalyst 9300 model switches come with Adaptive Policy to provide simple and scalable security policies to
segment traffic using Security Groups in Meraki Dashboard. Security Groups are created in the dashboard using
natural language such as “IoT device” and “Guest.” The security policy intent (e.g. Permit or Deny) is then
simply provisioned between Security Groups which results in the segmentation of each group’s traffic. By
making security policy management intuitive and scalable relative to legacy IP-address based Access Control
Lists, Adaptive Policy empowers operators to confidently secure their network traffic independent of future
network changes.
Catalyst 9300 Series switches can be order directly or migrated to the Meraki software option. For model
compatibility and more information, please see Getting started: Cisco Catalyst 9300 Management with Meraki
Dashboard.

You can also refer to Meraki datasheets providing details of models orderable with the Meraki software option
(Catalyst C9300-M Datasheet, Catalyst C9300X-M Datasheet, Catalyst C9300L-M Datasheet) as well as
supported optics and accessories.
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 Catalyst and Cisco DNA Essentials, Cisco
Catalyst and Cisco DNA Advantage and Meraki Advanced and Enterprise options. In addition to on-box
capabilities, the features available with this package provide Cisco innovations on the switch, as well as
on Cisco Catalyst Center. and Meraki Dashboard. For Catalyst 9300 models ordered with a Network
Essentials and Network Advantage license, a Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription license is
mandatory at the time of configuration. For Catalyst 9300 models ordered with a Meraki SKU, the term
license is ordered separately but is required to be recognized in Meraki Dashboard. With Cisco Catalyst
and 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 Catalyst and Cisco DNA Software
subscription stacks (Cisco Catalyst and Cisco DNA Essentials or Advantage).
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 Network Essentials and Network
Advantage 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 14
shows the combinations of Network perpetual and Cisco Catalyst and Cisco DNA Software subscription
licenses that must be purchased.
Table 14. Cisco Catalyst, Cisco DNA and Network Licensing combinations

At the time of Cisco Catalyst and Cisco DNA license renewal, the Cisco Catalyst and 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 Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription term license in order to purchase a switch with
Network Essentials or Network Advantage perpetual licenses. 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 Catalyst Center just to use Cisco Catalyst, Cisco DNA or Network
packages. Meraki Dashboard is required to deploy a Catalyst 9300 switch with a Meraki software license.
Introduction to Smart Licensing
Cisco Smart Licensing is a flexible licensing model that provides you with an easier, faster, and more consistent
way to purchase and manage software across the Cisco portfolio and across your organization. And it’s secure
– you control what users can access. With Smart Licensing you get:
● Easy Activation: Smart Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across the
entire organization—no more PAKs (Product Activation Keys).
● Unified Management: My Cisco Entitlements (MCE) provides a complete view into all of your Cisco
products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are
using.
● License Flexibility: Your software is not node-locked to your hardware, so you can easily use and
transfer licenses as needed.
To use Smart Licensing, you must first set up a Smart Account on Cisco Software Central (software.cisco.com).
