Meraki Part Number: C9300L-STACK-KIT2-M is Cisco Meraki Catalyst 9300LM Stacking Kit, spare
Cisco C9300L-STACK-KIT2-M
The C9300L-STACK-KIT2-M is Meraki’s dedicated stacking accessory for Catalyst 9300LM series switches, enabling multiple C9300LM units to operate as a single logical switch. It provides plug-and-play stacking hardware (adapters + cable) to simplify management, increase resiliency, and scale port density without changing the control plane.
What’s included
- 2 × data stack adapters (one per switch to be stacked)
- 1 × data stacking cable (50 cm default cable; alternate lengths available)
- Mounting/installation hardware as required
(Kit contents allow immediate stack deployment without additional parts.)
Key features & benefits
- StackWise-320 support: Delivers up to 320 Gbps of stacking bandwidth for C9300LM models, enabling high-throughput inter-switch communication.
- Single control plane: Manage up to eight stacked members as a single logical switch for simpler configuration and consistent policies.
- Fast convergence & resiliency: Hardware stacking reduces failover time and preserves stateful services across the stack.
- Flexible cable options: Default 50 cm cable for typical rack deployments, with longer cable options available for non-adjacent units.
- Easy field install: Designed for quick retrofit—order and add the kit to each C9300LM you plan to include in a stack.
Use cases
- Branch or campus access layers requiring aggregated management and higher port scale
- Environments needing predictable failover and simplified operations
- Deployments where incremental growth is expected—add stack members without redesigning the network
In short, the C9300L-STACK-KIT2-M is a compact, purpose-built accessory that turns individual Catalyst 9300L switches into a cohesive, high-performance stack—streamlining management, improving resiliency, and enabling easier scale-out for enterprise and branch networks.
