Frequently Asked Questions

Cisco Catalyst C9300-NM-8X 8-Port Network Module Expansion
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)



What is the Cisco C9300-NM-8X used for?
  • It expands a Catalyst 9300 switch with eight 10G SFP+ uplinks.
  • Is the module hot-swappable?
  • Yes, it can be installed or replaced while the switch remains powered.
  • What types of transceivers are compatible?
  • It supports Cisco-certified 10G SFP+ fiber and copper modules.
  • Does the module work with all Cisco 9300 switches?
  • It's compatible with modular models of the Catalyst 9300 Series.
  • Can I mix transceiver types in the same module?
  • Yes, as long as they are 10G-rated and supported by Cisco.
  • What are the benefits over the default uplinks?
  • This module offers more uplink ports and faster 10G throughput.
  • Is there any configuration needed post-installation?
  • Basic interface setup may be needed; otherwise, it’s plug-and-play.
  • Does this module support link aggregation?
  • Yes, it supports EtherChannel for bonded 10G links.
  • How does it affect switch performance?
  • It enhances throughput and reduces latency between layers.
  • Can I use it in a fiber-only environment?
  • Yes, it's ideal for high-speed fiber uplink setups.
  • Is licensing required to activate the ports?
  • No special license is required beyond your switch’s feature tier.
  • Can I use this for stacking?
  • No, it's dedicated to uplinks, not stacking.
  • What’s the module’s role in network segmentation?
  • Works with Cisco DNA for policy-based access and segmentation.
  • Is it backward compatible with 1G SFPs?
  • It may recognize 1G modules, but optimal performance is with 10G.
  • Does it support Cisco TrustSec and MACsec?
  • Yes, security features are integrated via IOS XE support.
  • Can I use it for inter-switch uplinks?
  • Yes, perfect for high-speed switch-to-switch links.
  • Does it need special cooling or power?
  • No, it draws power and cooling from the host switch.
  • What’s the installation process like?
  • Tool-less, slide-in installation into the uplink module slot.
  • How does this affect network cabling?
  • Reduces the need for additional rack equipment by centralizing high-speed uplinks.
  • Can I use the C9300-NM-8X in a mixed deployment with 1GE modules?
  • Yes, it can be used alongside 1GE modules in a mixed deployment, but the C9300-NM-8X's ports only support 10GE speeds.
