Catalyst 9300 series 48 port 10G sfp switch

[imranhoque11273]

Hi,

I need a 48 port (all 10G sfp ports) switch to use in my core.

Looking for a compatible 48port 10G full layer3 sfp switch (must HA supported)

Need suggestion on that. which model should i go for with lowest cost ??

Regards

In the C9300 series?  If so, don't see a 10g, fiber, 48 port model.  The closest to that requirement appears to be a C9300X-24Y which provides 24 25g/10g/1g SFP28 ports.  You could stack two to provide your 48 ports.  Likely not a low cost switch, with a list price of about $30K, but I've seen one on-line retailer listing this switch for about $7K (backordered).  Other on-line retailers list it for between $10k and $20k.

BTW, the 9400 series do have 24 and 48 SFP+ line cards.  Wouldn't expect it to be low cost.

Possible the lowest cost might be using the CBS350-24XS, which provides 24 SFP+ ports and can be stacked up to 4 units.  Looks like their street price is about $3k.

That will be the 9300-48S. 

NOTE:  There is a cut-n-paste mistake in the 9300 Data Sheet where it states "9200-24S" & "9200-48S".

-24S and -48S, 10g ports?  (Datasheet I'm reading has them as gig ports.)

Ooops.  I was mistaken.

If you looking as Core i suggest to Go for Cat 9500 (which support SVL)

Cost not that as easy you thinking.

Even you can go for Cat 9300 (but i prefer to have a CORE as Cat 9500)

The C9500-40X can provide 48 10g fiber ports.  This (list) $38k switch just went EoS and has street prices from about $1k to $3k.

An issue with all/most/many (?) EoS Cisco devices would be obtaining a legal license to use.
