C8300-1N1S-4T2X

C8300-1N1S-4T2X Overview

The Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms have a wide variety of interface options 

to choose from—ranging from lower and higher module density with backward 

compatibility to a variety of existing WAN, LAN, voice, and compute modules. 

Powered by Cisco IOS XE, fully programmable software architecture, and API 

support, these platforms can facilitate automation at scale to achieve zero-touch 

IT capability while migrating workloads to the cloud. Catalyst 8300 Series Edge 

Platforms also come with Trustworthy Solutions 2.0 infrastructure that secures 

the platforms against threats and vulnerabilities with integrity verification and 

remediation of threats.

The Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms are well suited for medium-sized and 

large enterprise branch offices for high WAN IPSec performance with integrated 

SD-WAN services.

Overall Platform Benefits

• Accelerated services with Cisco Software-Defined WAN

Cisco SD-WAN is a set of intelligent software services that allow you to 

connect users, devices, and branch office locations reliably and securely 

across a diverse set of WAN transport links. Cisco Catalyst 8000 Series 

Edge Platforms can dynamically route traffic across the “best” 

link based on up-to-the-minute application and network conditions for 

great application experiences. You get tight control over application 

performance, bandwidth usage, data privacy, and availability of your 

WAN links—control you need as your branches conduct greater volumes 

of mission-critical business with both on-premises and cloud controllers.

• Application performance optimization

Ensure that SD-WAN networks meet Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) 

and maintain strong performance, even if network problems occur. With 

branch multi-cloud access, you can accelerate your SaaS applications 

with a simple template push from the SD-WAN controller. Features like 

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) optimization, forward error 

correction,and packet duplication help application performance for a 

better user experience.

• Multilayer security

You can now move your traditional and complex WAN networks to a 

more agile software-defined WAN with integrated security. The Cisco 

Catalyst 8300 Series Edge platforms connect branch offices to the 

Internet and cloud, with industry-leading protection against major web 

attacks. Secure Direct Internet Access (DIA) to the branches helps 

optimize branch workloads for improved performance, specifically for 

cloud-hosted applications. At the same time, DIA ensures your branch 

is protected from external threats.

• Unified communications

The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Edge platforms offer rich voice services in both 

SD-WAN and traditional IOS-XE software feature stacks. Cisco is the only 

SDWAN vendor to natively integrate analog/digital IP directly into single 

CPE reducing Capex and Opex costs. In SD-WAN mode, the Catalyst 8300 

Series also prevent internal and external outages using SRST enabling 

Branch router to assume role of call control PBX for Telephony survivability. 

They also continue to support the long list of traditional IOS-XE voice use 

cases like Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE), Cisco Unified 

Communications Manager, Session Border Controller, SRST, ISDN and Voice 

over IP.

• 5G-ready

The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are built for future 5G networks. 

With the higher throughputs from Cat18 LTE and 5G, wireless WAN 

solutions are becoming feasible options for primary transport use cases. 

These platforms will support both integrated pluggable modules as well as 

external cellular gateways with Cat18 LTE and 5G capability for improved 

throughput that addresses those use cases. Either an integrated or external 

gateway can be chosen based on a specific branch’s cellular coverage.
