24-port 2.5G PoE Layer 3 switch for enterprise edge

The Cisco C1300X-24MU-4X delivers 24 multi-gigabit RJ-45 ports at 2.5G and four SFP28 uplinks at 10G or 25G for stacking. It provides a 740W PoE budget across all 24 ports to power access points, cameras and phones. The rack-mount chassis supports Layer 3 routing with up to 7168 IPv4 routes and 256 IP interfaces. Managed operation includes a web UI, CLI and Plug and Play provisioning for branch deployments.

Uplink and stacking constraints

Four SFP28 ports serve as 10G uplinks or 25G stacking links, but 25G is available only for stacking. Stacking supports up to eight switches and 400 ports managed as a single logical unit with hardware failover. Cross-stacking between different product families is not supported. The 3 MB packet buffer and 9000-byte jumbo frame limit apply to all traffic. Flow control follows IEEE 802.3x.

740W PoE budget across 24 ports

The 740W power budget is the single figure that determines how many PoE+, PoE++ or high-draw devices can run simultaneously. Each of the 24 ports can negotiate up to the standard maximum, but the total draw must stay within 740W. Exceeding this budget will cause ports to power down according to priority. Buyers needing more PoE capacity per port or a larger aggregate budget must select a different platform.

Highlights

  • 24 ports at 2.5 Gbps deliver faster wired throughput for dense endpoints
  • Four 10 Gbps SFP28 uplinks provide high-capacity aggregation to core switches
  • 740 W PoE budget powers 24 devices such as APs and cameras without extra injectors
  • Stack up to 8 units for 400 ports managed as a single logical switch
  • Layer 3 routing with 7168 IPv4 routes enables wire-speed inter-VLAN traffic

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2.5G mGig ports or the SFP28 uplinks for my core connections?

The 24 RJ-45 ports run at 2.5G mGig for endpoints, while the 4 SFP28 slots provide 10G uplinks and 25G stacking links; use SFP28 for backbone or stack links.

What does the 148.80 mpps forwarding rate mean for daily traffic?

At 64-byte packets the switch can forward 148.80 million packets per second, giving wire-speed Layer 3 routing across all 24 2.5G ports and 4 10G uplinks.

How does the SFP28 interface limit uplink speed in practice?

Each SFP28 port caps at 10G for uplinks and 25G only when used for stacking up to 8 switches in a single 400-port stack.
