Comprehensive Product Overview

As a foundational building block for the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA), the C9200L-48T-4G-E helps customers simplify complexity, optimize IT, and reduce operational costs. It leverages the advanced UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC to deliver highly secure and programmable Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 switching capabilities.

With 48 ports in a single 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) chassis, this switch offers excellent port density, making it highly efficient for connecting a large volume of standard workstations, servers, and non-PoE network devices while maintaining deep network visibility and simplified management.

Key Features & Business Benefits

High-Density Connectivity: Maximize your rack space with 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, perfect for high-capacity office floors and data labs. The 4x 1G SFP uplinks provide flexible fiber connectivity to core or distribution switches.

Enterprise-Class Resiliency: Minimize downtime with dual field-replaceable power supplies and fans. The optional StackWise-80 technology enables stacking of up to 8 switches, creating a single highly available management plane.

Advanced Security Arsenal: Protect your hardware and data with trustworthy solutions including MACsec AES-128 link encryption, Secure Boot, and Cisco TrustSec for policy-based network segmentation.

Automated Management: Supported by Cisco DNA Center, the switch enables Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP), seamless software upgrades, and network-wide telemetry, drastically reducing the time spent on manual CLI configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What type of uplinks does the C9200L-48T-4G-E have?

A1: This model features 4 fixed 1G SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) uplinks. These ports require Cisco-compatible 1G SFP transceiver modules (such as GLC-SX-MMD or GLC-LH-SMD) to connect to your fiber network. They do not support 10G SFP+ modules.

Q2: Can I power VoIP phones or Wireless Access Points with this switch?

A2: No. The “T” in the part number indicates it is a Data-Only switch and does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). For PoE capabilities, you should consider the C9200L-48P-4G-E (PoE+) model.

Q3: How many switches can I stack together using the C9200L-48T-4G-E?

A3: Using the optional C9200L-STACK-KIT=, you can stack up to 8 Cisco Catalyst 9200L switches together, providing 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. Note that you can only stack 9200L models with other 9200L models.

Q4: What routing features are included with the Network Essentials license?

A4: The included Network Essentials license supports basic Layer 3 routed access features, including OSPF for routed access (OSPF stub), RIP, and static routing. For full enterprise routing (Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), a Network Advantage license is required.

Q5: Is a Cisco DNA software subscription mandatory for this switch?

A5: When purchasing a new Catalyst 9200L switch, attaching a Cisco DNA term license (3, 5, or 7 years) is typically required by Cisco. However, the underlying Network Essentials perpetual license will continue to function for standard switching even if the DNA subscription expires.
