About the C9300-24P-M
The C9300-24P-M is the Meraki-managed version of the Catalyst C9300-24P-A and C9300-24P-E: the same 24-port PoE+ hardware, managed from the Meraki Dashboard. It has a dedicated management port, three hot-swap fans and room for two hot-swap power supplies.
Its power supplies are the -M versions. It comes with the 715 W PWR-C1-715WAC-P-M, which gives a 445 W PoE budget; the 1100 W supply, or a second supply, raises the budget to 720 W. Uplinks are modular: it takes the -M modules (C9300-NM-8X-M, C9300-NM-2Q-M and C9300-NM-2Y-M) as well as the standard C9300-NM-4G and C9300-NM-4M. Up to eight switches stack over StackWise-480 at 480 Gbps.
