Overview
The Catalyst 9300L-M addresses the most demanding enterprise applications by combining the simplicity of the Meraki dashboard with powerful switching hardware. To satisfy high-bandwidth applications and the deployment of high-speed 802.11ax/wifi-6 access points, the Catalyst 9300L-M provides multigigabit ports, 320GB stacking with four fixed 10G uplinks. The Catalyst 9300L-M delivers resiliency with fast stack convergence. The Catalyst 9300L-M provides Adaptive Policy using an over-the-wire tag which segments traffic into security groups to deliver scalable security. The Catalyst 9300L-M is integrated under the Meraki dashboard to provide a simply powerful solution to the most demanding wired access applications.
Adaptive Policy provides simple & scalable security policies to segment traffic using Security Groups. Security Groups are created in the dashboard using natural language such as “IOT device” & “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.
A Catalyst 9300L switch can also be migrated to a Meraki-managed persona, where it would function as its Catalyst Meraki 9300L-M equivalent. For details on the migration process, please refer to our Getting started: Cisco Catalyst 9300 with Meraki Dashboard guide.

Catalyst 9300/L/X-M Licensing
The Catalyst 9300-M license applies to all c9300 hardware platforms (c9300 / c9300L / c9300X) excluding the MS390. Catalyst 9300-M license structure includes two feature tiers: Enterprise and Advanced. As with all Meraki managed switches, every Catalyst 9300-M license is available in 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 year terms.
Catalyst 9300X-M License Structure | 12/24-Port | 48-port |
---|---|---|
Advanced Features | LIC-C9300-24A | LIC-C9300-48A |
Enterprise Features | LIC-C9300-24E | LIC-C9300-48E |
The features available with advanced licensing are:
In the Co-term licensing model (most existing Organizations), an Organization must either have all Catalyst 9300/L/X-M Enterprise or all Catalyst 9300/L/X-M Advanced licenses - they cannot be mixed. In the Per-device licensing model, a mix of Enterprise and Advanced can be added to a single Organization, but certain features may require all devices in a Network to have Advanced licenses, e.g. Adaptive Policy.
Note: MS390s existing in the same co-term Organization will require the same license edition (either Enterprise or Advanced) as the Catalyst 9300/L/X-M. License types cannot be mixed and will result in an incompatible license error.
For more information on licensing, refer to Meraki Licensing Models article.
Subscription licensing is also available for the Catalyst 9300-M switches

For supported SFP modules please refer the SFP Datasheet.
Cabling Best Practices for Multi-Gigabit operations: While Category-5e cables can support multigigabit data rates upto 2.5/5 Gbps, external factors such as noise, alien crosstalk coupled with longer cable/cable bundle lengths can impede reliable link operation. Noise can originate from cable bundling, RFI, cable movement, lightning, power surges and other transient event. It is recommended to use Category-6a cabling for reliable multigigabit operations as it mitigates alien crosstalk by design.

Note: For
Japan, the recommendation is to deploy the switch with 200V+
outlets. The 1100WAC power supplies will not operate on 100V. Please
reference Table
13. AC Power Cords for the appropriate 250VAC power cable.
Package contents
In addition to the MS switch, each shipment includes the following.
- 1 x default power supply unit for the switch model (please refer to the power supply and specifications section)
