Frequently Asked Questions
Cisco Catalyst C1300-24XS 24-Port 10G SFP+ Managed Network Switch
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
What is the difference between SFP+ and RJ-45 in the combo ports?
The combo ports allow either a copper RJ-45 or an SFP+ module; only one of the two can be active per combo port at a time.
Does the switch support 10G over copper for all ports?
No. Only the 4 combo ports support copper 10G (RJ-45). The remaining 20 ports are SFP+ (fiber) only.
Can I stack multiple C1300-24XS switches?
Yes, front-panel stacking is supported for up to 8 units, enabling unified management and redundancy.
What cooling or fan mechanisms does it use?
This model includes internal fans; because of the 10G switching and power load, airflow is important in deployment. Ensure adequate ventilation.
What are the power requirements?
It operates from 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, consuming about 49 W in typical conditions.
Does it support PoE/PoE+?
This particular model (24XS) is data only (no PoE). It’s designed for high-speed fiber/copper uplinks rather than powering endpoints.
Can I run dynamic routing protocols?
Yes. It supports Layer-3 routing, though exact protocols supported should be verified (e.g. OSPF, static routes, etc.).
What is the management interface like?
You can manage via a dedicated management port, console over RJ-45, USB-C, and through Cisco’s dashboards (web GUI) and CLI.
Is there support for QoS and traffic prioritization?
Yes. It supports QoS policies, link aggregation, VLANs and other traffic-management features to prioritize critical traffic.
What IPv6 features are included?
Includes IPv6 First Hop Security (ND inspection, router advertisement guard, etc.), ensuring safer dual-stack operation.
What is the typical physical dimension & weight?
Approx. 445 mm × 350 mm × 44 mm (≈17.5" × 13.8" × 1.7"), weight about 4.15 kg (≈9.15 lbs).
In what environmental conditions will it operate reliably?
Operating temperature from -5 °C to 50 °C; non-condensing humidity between 10% and 90%.
How many VLANs can it support?
It supports up to 4093 VLANs.
What is the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)?
Approximately 993,232 hours according to published specs.
Is layer-2 switching also supported?
Yes, full Layer-2 switching is supported along with STP, RSTP, MSTP, etc.
What is the switching capacity / throughput?
For the 24XS model, switching capacity is high (480 Gbps) and forwarding rate “wire-speed”.
What standards are supported for link aggregation?
Supports IEEE 802.3ad (LACP) for combining ports to increase bandwidth or redundancy.
Do I need special transceivers for SFP+ ports?
Yes—you must use compatible SFP+ transceivers (fiber or copper) for the optical/fiber ports. Specifications of module (SR, LR, etc.) will affect distance and fiber type.
Can I monitor traffic-flows or use sFlow / SNMP for telemetry?
Yes. SNMP is supported, and flow / traffic monitoring features are present. Useful for performance tracking, security and troubleshooting.
How do I choose between fiber vs copper 10G?
Use fiber with SFP+ transceivers when you need longer reach or want lower interference, or when cabling already is fiber. Use copper RJ-45 where distance is short (e.g. within racks or short runs), existing copper infrastructure exists, and you want easier install. The combo ports give flexibility.
