C9300-48UXM vs. C9300-48P

Forum,

I did a sho version on my Cisco 9300 switch stack of 5 switches earlier today.

I noticed that 4 of the switches are 9300-48P models but there is one oddball switch which is a 9300-48UXM.

See below:

Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image Mode
------ ----- ----- ---------- ---------- ----
1 62 C9300-48UXM 16.6.3 CAT9K_IOSXE INSTALL
* 2 62 C9300-48P 16.6.3 CAT9K_IOSXE INSTALL
3 62 C9300-48P 16.6.3 CAT9K_IOSXE INSTALL
4 62 C9300-48P 16.6.3 CAT9K_IOSXE INSTALL
5 62 C9300-48P 16.6.3 CAT9K_IOSXE INSTALL

I inherited this configuraton and need to understand what makes the 48UXM different?  When i go to update the code on this stack, do i have to use one image for the 48P and another one for the 48UXM?

Thank You,

Hi,

do i have to use one image for the 48P and another one for the 48UXM?

Yes, you want to load the same exact software version in all of them.  C9300-48UXM is just an M gig switch (36x 100 Mbps,1G, 2.5G + 12x Multigigabit (100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, or 10 Gbps) vs the other ones are just 48 port 10/100/1000 POE switches. See datasheet

UXM is unified port,  it has capable of different capacity also has 10GB port.

You can use universal image if you going 16.12.X onwards.

recently migrated many one of the good document posted on blog :
