Cisco Catalyst Switch Comparison 9300, 9300L, 9200, 9200L, 1000

[@lisainphoenix]

Helpful. I loved the sections and how you labeled the content in each section for easy access. Well done

[@gsszuber]

Exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated!

[@stackenali7059]

This is the most valuable Cisco channel on KZbin!

[@CiscoSal]

Thank you for the comment!

[@Sportygirl34]

cheers bud! it'll be good to touch pricing aspects as well when compare the models

[@CiscoSal]

Thanks for the comment! Its really hard to talk pricing. Discounts can be all over the place based on negotiations. Really the only thing you can say is that the 9300 will cost the most and the 1000 will be the lowest cost. Sometimes it also depends on how the switches are configured. There could be some situations where the 9200 comes out higher then a 9300L.

[@Drakkenfel]

Most appreciated. Love the new features on this switch.

[@dmn1n]

Excellent video thanks for a 1 to 1 comparison. this is really helpful.

[@Erik101]

Honestly for the standard usage for SOHO or even for enterprise the best is C1000-24P-4X-L since it has 195Watts PoE+, 10Gb fiber uplinks and all silenent due to fasive cooling. Running standard IOS, not linux kernel based IOS XE which boots 10-15 mins. Thus switch has 15MB IOS and boots up in 1 min. For users as access switch and for CCTV it's great stuf which even supports statis and dynamic routing as OSPF, BGP limited way but for OSPF routing via transfer vlan in rhe stub it is great. It is running me at home with 3 years uptime with no single issue and interconnets CCTV, NAS, server with plenty VMs, dozens of machines incl. wireless.

I'm a new subscriber and I gotta say you are awesome dude! Love your enthusiasm and content. The 9300's are definitely top of line model. We are using these for our EOL refresh at my organization.

[@CiscoSal]

Thanks! Let me know if there is anything else you want to see. Always looking for new ideas!

[@ClaqueteRosa]

Hi!! Im from Brasil and your video is so important for my process for understand so many little concepts about my current job. Your job its very didatichs and I believe it helps many people on de presales area, now I going watch all yours videos because you is the better on youtube! Thank you for that and I wish stay here on your channel for watching new videos that you produce.

[@CiscoSal]

Thank you so much for watching! If there is anything else you want me to cover please let me know!!

I am a new SE at Cisco, and this was SO helpful. Thank you!!!

[@TakticalTekniq]

This is SUPER helpful. Just what I needed. Thank you!

[@umardesignor]

Good video. I've been using 9200 and 9300 switches for a while and these are very good switches.

[@barackuse]

Nice video, but I am still confused about what the L stands for. Looking forward to seeing more.

Hey Sal - Jay here. I am an engineer, about to be working more in Cisco than all else. I couldn’t help but notice “Pittsford Cisco” in the background. I am just south of the Thruway in H…etta. I don’t want to put our locations out there, but wondering if you are from same area and figure you would connect the dots with my comment above if thats the case? I moved out here about 5 years ago and looking to connect locally for more learning-type events if you happen to know of any (if you are where I think you are lol). Thanks and great video!

[@CiscoSal]

Hi! Yes that sign was from the old Pittsford NY office. I think i found you on LinkedIn. Feel free to shoot me a message!

[@Swift_Water]

I’d like to hear your thoughts on the 1000 vs Ubiquiti’s line up

[@CiscoSal]

Hold tight 😁. I’m working on a video for Meraki Go. That would be more comparable to what ubiquity has. The 1000 is still a enterprise class switch. Meraki Go and Cisco Small Business switches are made for the smb marketplace that ubiquity is in. You can also get meraki go on amazon. amzn.to/3FqHWXY

[@justinlang1205]

Well explained. Thank you for providing the video on different C9200 and C9300 model. When you have a chance, can you a provide a video on how to come up with cost estimates C6509 need to be included in the C9600? thank you

[@skyscraperman99]

This is a great video. Really well done, thanks!

[@pppam]

Thanks, very nice and clear presentation

[@jamaua]

Very nice comparison!

[@chrisbirdsong2840]

Do you have a video on comparing the small business lines and adding in the C1000 series? So the SG, CBS, and C1000.

[@CiscoSal]

Hi! This is actually something I am working on. The first one will be around the Meraki Go line of Small Business switches/devices. You can actually get these legit off amazon. www.amazon.com/stores/page/E8E27DE3-B3AB-4263-95D2-7E75D60A783C?ingress=0&visitId=ac71fa32-9d8b-4ae7-9c58-b03b894a6e4f&lp_slot=auto-sparkle-hsa-tetris&store_ref=SB_A06172071TFSRCSW7058G&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_hl&_encoding=UTF8&tag=scl789-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=00f1187bddc39350ffc6288ef1a1ba71&camp=1789&creative=9325

[@mabrouk642]

Brilliant, really good post, thank you!

[@jamespruitt68]

very good ser youtube needs more people like you

[@martinfiala4038]

also Cat9k does not support IPsec tunnels, so it is not a router replacement even with the advanced license, perhaps 17.6 would bring some more features

[@Rouscha92]

Good Video, but the BGP Part is wrong. 9300L also supports BGP according to Cisco Feature Navigator

[@CiscoSal]

Good catch! Thank you for pointing that out.

[@crunchtime4l]

perfect comparison, thank you.

[@theapricotbambino]

thank you this video was very helpful

[@faris928]

Thanks

[@muhammadfaudikafirdaus]

Hi Sal, Great video comparison. I'm very new in cisco, and now I'm on designing a network for my company. My question is, If I have several IP cameras, which has 10/100 mbps eth port on it, Then I connect to cisco switch C9300L-48T-4X-A to communicate with Video management server (has 1Gig eth port) on the same switch, will it be happen? I mean, is it possible that my IP camera can communicate with my video management server?

[@Erik101]

C9000 series has a single issue called Smart licensing aka call-home makes me sick always. And tier level of licensing where they put to higher Advantage license such simple things as HSRP and EIGRP is sick. And one stupid thing here which is according to Cisco feature, not a bug: if u forget to enable routing by "ip routing" and u check routing table it shpws u routes even it's not enabled.Lol

[@m4nu3lex]

Hey!! nice video! can you please share the youtube link where ETA on Cat9300s is demonstrated? Thanks in advance!

[@srijanar]

Great comparison Video !!

[@thebustransit5531]

If you have a Modular uplink (expansion card for C9300 series) of 10G, can a 1G network module work? It will just give a speed of 1G? But if you have a Modular uplink of 1G, and you use a 10G sfp network module, you will not get that 10G speed?

[@lanbaas990]

Hey Cisco Sal, make a new video about the NGFW. Maybe compare some models like you did with this video. Thx keep it up, like your videos

[@Rom-zt9cm]

Is the mgig available on all 48 ports?

[@aliernestodelgadomonrroy5460]

Hi, please whats your recomendation, stacking or standalon for switch solution.

[@CiscoSal]

Almost all of cisco switches can be stacked. So you cant go wrong getting a switch that can stack. Even if you don’t need it today. You might need it to stack in the future.

[@NavneetKumar-t6v8q]

Is there a way I can connect C9500 & C9200 using RJ45 10G link for more than 50m distnace?

[@yihadsamir1368]

can you describe cisco models cbs 300x series?

[@shashwatmisra7323]

Can we stack 9300 and 9200 switch together

[@CiscoSal]

You cannot. Different backplane technology, different hardware, different cables. Sorry ☹️

[@1999Zahra]

Are there any second thoughts or limitiations that are usefull to mention on use two C9300-24UX with network advantage (and DNA license) as an L3 distribution/core swich along other 9300-48P-E (L2 network essentials) as access switces? so basically what is preventing me to save money by not bying the C9500 family as core/distribution?

[@CiscoSal]

You could... Just depends on what you need for ports and speed. The 24UX is going to have all copper ports on it. So if you need 10gig to your access layer switch you will need to use a uplink module. Thats going to be really limited on the number of ports you have. But if it works for you go for it!

[@1999Zahra]

@@CiscoSal Hi Sal, Thanks for the answer.... So 3 points: 1) Indeed 10Gbit uplink speed from access to core/distr. would suffice. So If I put an uplink module (C9300-NM-8X) 8 x10 Gb SFP+ ports in the access switch, I can go ahead and use a copper DAC SFP+ cable to connect the C9300-48T-E access swicthes (essentials) to the C9300-24UX-A core/distribution one (cisco Adavantage L3)? ...And... I can you the stackpower cables to hook them all up together forthat extra power redundancy? Nice proposition? 2) I can not imagine in which use case the difference of a 640Gbs (C9300) VS a 6,4 Tbs (c9500) backplane would come in to play. Would we notice...? Apart from the available ports issue and the backplain speed, I cannot think of other things that are worth mentionning about the difference of the C9500 en C9300 family. I hope somebody can point me out when I am missing something really really important here. (oh yeah--> C9500 has no stackpower???) 3) So last and to be clear: I know that ofcourse, the day that I need more that 10Gbs speed to my access swicthes OR multiple 25Gb or 40Gb connections to my servers, I am in for a difficult ride. altough I can change the uplink modules on the C9300-24UX and/ or the C9300-48T and/or I can use Brakeoutcables (QSFP+ to 4x SFP+) to try to maximize in the possibilities.... But ok, choices have to be made within budgets. "You win some, you might loose some" :-) Thanks in advance

how to configure switchport access vlan dynmic on cisco switch 9200L?

[@mw1076]

Is there a way to automatically shut down switch the load goes high?

[@CiscoSal]

What do you mean by load? Bandwidth? PoE load? Other? Also why do you want to do this

[@mw1076]

@@CiscoSal I mean if broadcast storm happens in a switch, is there a way to automatically shut down the switch to prevent damage to switch itself and our network?

[@CiscoSal]

@mw1076 you will want to use some form of spanning tree. Also segment the network using vlans to limit your broadcast domain.

[@mw1076]

@@CiscoSal ok, I got it. Thanks.

[@martinfiala4038]

the mGIG ports are not backwards compatible with 10M or half duplex devices ; beware deploying them in your industrial shop floor !

[@CiscoSal]

Yes watch out for any 10/100 devices.

[@koggism]

So you buy a switch and have to buy licences to us it lol cisco users are crazy putting up with this nonsense

[@CiscoSal]

You buy a switch with the license on it already. If cisco only had one switch with every feature, people would say, why do i need to pay for all this stuff when I’m not going to use it. So with different license levels Cisco can sell the hardware cheaper for people that dont need all the features. Or for the people that do need everything they buy the higher license level. This way no one can say I don’t want to buy stuff I don’t need.
