The Cisco Catalyst C8300-1N1S-6T is a high-performance Secure SD-WAN and enterprise edge router designed for branch, campus-edge, and distributed enterprise networks. It provides 6 × 1Gb Ethernet ports, 1 × Network Module slot, and 1 × Service Module slot, with Cisco IOS XE support for advanced routing, security, and SD-WAN deployments.
Description
The Cisco Catalyst C8300-1N1S-6T is an enterprise-class edge platform from the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series, designed to provide secure, high-performance connectivity for modern branch and distributed enterprise environments.
The platform combines routing, SD-WAN, security, VPN, application-aware networking, and network services in a modular architecture. It is designed for organizations that require higher performance and greater expansion flexibility than entry-level branch routers.
The C8300-1N1S-6T features six integrated 1Gb Ethernet RJ-45 interfaces, which can be used for WAN or LAN connectivity depending on the network design. It also provides one Network Module (NIM) slot and one Service Module (SM) slot, allowing additional interfaces and services to be added as requirements evolve.
The router runs Cisco IOS XE, providing support for Cisco SD-WAN, advanced routing protocols, segmentation, centralized policy management, application-aware routing, and integrated security capabilities. Hardware-accelerated encryption supports secure connectivity across enterprise WAN and Internet environments.
The Catalyst 8300 platform is particularly suited to organizations deploying SD-WAN at scale, where branch locations require secure connectivity to data centers, cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and other corporate sites.
