Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches extend the power of intent-based networking and Catalyst 9000 hardware and software innovation to a wider range of deployments. With its family lineage, the Catalyst 9200 Series switches offer uncompromising simplicity—it’s secure, always-on, and IT simplified.
As a foundational building block of Cisco’s digital network architecture, the Catalyst 9200 Series switches help customers simplify complexity, optimize IT, and reduce operational costs by leveraging intelligence, automation, and human expertise that other vendors cannot, whatever your intention—a network-based journey.
Catalyst 9200 Series switches provide security features that protect hardware and software integrity and all data flowing through the switch. It provides resiliency to keep your business running seamlessly. Combine this with the programmability of Cisco IOS XE’s open APIs and UADP ASIC technology, and the Catalyst 9200 Series switches give you what you need now and provide investment protection for tomorrow’s innovations.
With full PoE+ functionality, power and fan redundancy, up to 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth, modular uplinks, Layer 3 feature support, and cold patching, the Catalyst 9200 Series switches are an industry-unmatched solution with differentiated resiliency and advanced architecture for cost-effective branch-office access. The Catalyst 9200 Series switches also offer operational options for Cisco DNA Center or Meraki CloudMonitor.
Product Features
● Full Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability for up to 48 ports for C9200 and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability for up to 12 ports for C9200CX. Available in fan less variants for C9200CX.
●Resiliency with Field-Replaceable Units (FRU) and redundant power supply, fans, and modular uplinks for C9200. C9200CX are powered by internal fixed power supply or optional power adapters, when not powered by upstream 802.3bt type4 90W PSE.
● Flexible downlink options with data, PoE+ or mGig
● Operational efficiency with optional backplane stacking, supporting stacking bandwidth up to 160 Gbps
● UADP 2.0 Mini with integrated CPU offers customers optimized scale with better cost structure
●Enhanced security with AES-128 MACsec encryption on C9200 and AES-256 MACsec encryption for C9200CX variants, policy-based segmentation, and trustworthy solutions for the whole C9200 family
●Layer 3 capabilities, including OSPF, EIGRP, ISIS, RIP, and routed access
●Advanced network monitoring using Full Flexible NetFlow

1 Catalyst 9200 standalone and stack can support 25 Access Tunnels (for fabric enabled APs).
Note: Over the top fabric deployments eventually migrating to fabric wireless architecture should consider this limit during design/deployment
2 C9200-24PB-A, C9200-48PB-A SKUs supports 32 Virtual Networks. These SKUs cannot be stacked with C9200 SKUs with 4VNs
The Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series is made up of modular (C9200), fixed (C9200L) and compact (C9200CX) switch models.
