Cisco Catalyst C9200L-24P-4G-A 24-Port Full PoE+ Switch, 4x1G Uplinks, Network Advantage

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-24P-4G-A is a premier enterprise-grade switch designed to form the backbone of your modern business network. It masterfully combines robust performance, advanced security, and unparalleled scalability to meet the demanding needs of mid-sized businesses and branch offices.

Built on Cisco’s powerful UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC and running the flexible Cisco IOS XE operating system, this switch is more than just a connectivity hub. It's a platform for convergence. With full PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) capability across all 24 ports, it acts as a single source of power and data for critical IoT devices, IP phones, and high-performance wireless access points, simplifying your infrastructure and reducing cabling complexity.

Key Benefits & Value Proposition

• Unified Power and Data: The 370W PoE+ budget powers devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and Wi-Fi 6 access points directly from the switch, eliminating the need for separate power adapters and enabling flexible device placement.
• Simplified Management & High Availability: Leverage StackWise-80 technology to stack up to 8 switches, creating a single, logical unit with 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. This provides for simplified management, high redundancy, and a resilient network core that minimizes downtime.
• Advanced Security at the Edge: Protect your critical data with enterprise-grade security features including MACsec-128 encryption for link-level security, 802.1X authentication, and Cisco TrustSec for secure network segmentation, ensuring only authorized users and devices gain access.
• Automation for the Future: Fully compatible with Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center) for intent-based networking. This enables zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), automated software updates, and proactive network analytics, drastically reducing operational overhead.
• Unlocked Layer 3 Capabilities: With the premium Network Advantage license, you gain access to advanced routing protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, allowing the switch to function as a highly capable Layer 3 device for dynamic routing and network segmentation (VRF).

A Closer Look at the Hardware

The C9200L-24P-4G-A is engineered for resilience and performance. Its fixed uplink design offers predictable performance, while the ability to install a second, redundant power supply (RPS) ensures business continuity, even in the event of a power supply failure. The passive cooling and fixed fan modules are designed for quiet, reliable operation in office environments, making it an ideal choice for the modern workspace.

Ideal Use Cases

• Campus Access Layer: Connect and power end-user devices and wireless access points in large office buildings and university campuses.
• Branch Office Core: Serve as the central networking hub for remote and branch offices, delivering high-performance connectivity and WAN uplinks.
• IoT and Surveillance Deployments: Efficiently power and manage a large number of IoT sensors, security cameras, and access control systems across a facility.

Software & Features

The switch's true potential is unlocked by its software. Powered by Cisco IOS XE, it offers a modular, secure, and programmatic operating system. The included Network Advantage license provides a comprehensive feature set, including:

• Advanced Routing: Full support for OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and RIP for dynamic, scalable network routing.

   

• In-depth Security: 802.1X, Security Group Tags (SGT), TrustSec, MACsec (128-bit), and extensive Access Control Lists (ACLs) for granular security policies.
• Programmability & Automation: Model-driven telemetry and RESTful APIs (NETCONF, RESTCONF) for seamless integration with automation platforms.
