General Description
The Cisco ESS 9300 is a embedded Ethernet switch card. The compact design simplifies integration and offers system integrators the ability to use the Cisco ESS 9300 in a wide variety of applications. The Cisco ESS 9300 consists of one switch card.
The Cisco ESS-9300-10X-E board supports up to 10 ports of 10GE fiber and includes a Gig0/0 management port. The management port is active in ROMMON mode (when IOS-XE is not running). The board has a thermal power consumption of 35 Watts.
Cisco IOS XE Release 17.17.1 introduces the Cisco ESS-9300-8X16T of the Curtiss-Wright VPX3-623.
The Cisco ESS-9300-8X16T of the Curtiss-Wright VPX3-623 supports up to eight 10GE interfaces. By default, two 10GE interfaces are configured in backplane mode, while six are in optical mode. It does not include a management port. The board has a thermal power consumption of 35 Watts.
 Important |
The Cisco ESS-9300-8X16T of the Curtiss-Wright VPX3-623 is exclusively available from Curtiss-Wright as a component of the Curtiss-Wright VPX3-623. It is never sold alone through any Cisco sales channels. There are no cooling plates sold with the switch. It is up to the integrator to design a thermal solution. |
