Multiprotocol Label Switching The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches support Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), which combines the performance and capabilities of Layer 2 (data link layer) switching with the proven scalability of Layer 3 (network layer) routing. MPLS enables explosive growth in network utilization while providing the opportunity to differentiate services without sacrificing the existing network infrastructure. MPLS support includes: • MPLS Layer 3 VPN: An MPLS VPN consists of a set of sites that are interconnected by means of an MPLS provider core network. At each customer site, one or more customer edge (CE) devices attach to one or more provider edge (PE) devices. • VPLS: Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) enables enterprises to link together their Ethernet-based LANs from multiple sites via the infrastructure provided by their service provider. • EoMPLS: Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) is a category of Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) to transport Layer 2 packets over an MPLS backbone. • MPLS over GRE: L3VPN over Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) and VPLS over GRE are supported to tunnel MPLS/VPLS packets over non-MPLS networks using GRE tunneling. Power over Ethernet leadership Cisco UPOE and UPOE+: PoE removes the need for wall sockets to power each PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost of additional electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments. Cisco UPOE extends the IEEE PoE+ standard to double the power per port to 60 watts. This facilitates delivery of network power to a broad range of devices requiring higher power, including virtual desktop terminals, IP turrets, compact switches, building management gateways, LED lights, wireless access points, and IP phones. For even higher-powered devices such as those in smart building and IoT applications, Cisco Catalyst 9300 UPOE+ switches can deliver PoE power up to 90W and. UPOE+ ports provide data and power over a single cable to power devices like wireless access points, digital signage, security cameras, thermal cameras with pan- tilt-zoom features, LED lighting fixtures, and large display screens. UPOE+ offers reduced cabling and installation costs without need for permits, device daisy-chaining, real-time device information, centralized management and remote control, and fast, flexible device installation, enabling devices to be positioned in a practical location instead of Catalyst 9300 Series modular uplink (C9300 and C9300X SKUs) models support Cisco UPOE, PoE+, and PoE, thereby addressing the largest range of network power needs. Catalyst 9300 Series fixed uplink (C9300L and C9300LM SKUs) models support Cisco UPOE, PoE+, and PoE. Tables 10 through 13 show the power supply combinations required for different PoE needs.
