· Form Factor: 1RU Rack-mountable

Comprehensive Product Overview

The Cisco C9200L-24T-4G-E extends the power of intent-based networking and Catalyst 9000 hardware and software innovation to a broader set of deployments. Powered by the UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC, this switch optimizes network performance, simplifies IT operations, and significantly lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Whether you are upgrading from legacy Cisco Catalyst 2960-X series or building a new enterprise architecture, the C9200L-24T-4G-E provides deep visibility, automated zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) via Cisco DNA Center, and robust security to keep your business running smoothly.

Key Features & Business Benefits

Enterprise-Grade High Availability: Maximize network uptime with field-replaceable units (FRU) and redundant power supplies. The optional StackWise-80 technology allows multiple switches to be managed as a single logical device, providing superior resiliency and simplified management.

Foundation for Security: Protect your data and infrastructure with built-in security features, including MACsec AES-128 encryption, trustworthy systems (secure boot, image signing), and Cisco TrustSec for identity-based network segmentation.

Optimized Software Experience: The included Network Essentials license provides foundational Layer 2 capabilities, routed access (OSPF stub, RIP, static routing), and telemetry, perfectly tailored for networks that do not require advanced BGP or SD-Access features.

Cost-Effective Data Switching: By omitting PoE functionality, the C9200L-24T-4G-E reduces upfront hardware costs and power consumption, making it the perfect choice for connecting PCs, printers, and servers that utilize their own dedicated power sources.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does the Cisco C9200L-24T-4G-E support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

A1: No, the C9200L-24T-4G-E is a data-only switch. If you need to power IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras, we recommend looking at the C9200L-24P-4G-E (PoE+) model.

Q2: What is the difference between Network Essentials and Network Advantage on this switch?

A2: The Network Essentials license (included with this “-E” model) covers fundamental L2/L3 switching, basic routing (like OSPF stub), and automation. Network Advantage is required for advanced routing (full OSPF, BGP), advanced telemetry, and Cisco SD-Access capabilities.

Q3: Can I stack the C9200L-24T-4G-E with older Catalyst 2960-X switches?

A3: No, Catalyst 9200L switches use the StackWise-80 architecture, which is not backwards compatible with the FlexStack architecture used in the 2960-X series. You can only stack it with other 9200L series switches.

Q4: Is the power supply included, and is it replaceable?

A4: Yes, the switch comes with one default 125W AC power supply (PWR-C5-125WAC). The power supply is a Field-Replaceable Unit (FRU), and the chassis supports a secondary power supply slot for redundancy.

Q5: Do I need a Cisco Smart Account to operate this switch?

A5: Yes, the Catalyst 9000 family, including the C9200L-24T-4T-E, utilizes Cisco Smart Software Licensing. You will need a Cisco Smart Account to register the device and manage its software entitlements.
