Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switch - C9200-48P-A
1. Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 9200-48P-A is a high-performance, 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for secure and scalable access layer deployments. It delivers full Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support, advanced Layer 3 features, and robust security with Cisco DNA Advantage licensing. Ideal for enterprise campuses and branches, this switch offers seamless integration with Cisco SD-Access and cloud management capabilities.
2. Key Features
- 48 x Gigabit Ethernet ports with full PoE+ support (up to 30W per port)
- Modular uplink flexibility (sold separately)
- Cisco DNA Advantage software with SD-Access support
- StackWise-160 support up to 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth
- Hardware-based encryption (MACsec)
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and perpetual PoE
- Cloud management via Cisco Catalyst Center or Meraki dashboard
3. Technology & Standards
The C9200-48P-A supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, IEEE 802.1X authentication, MACsec encryption, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, PIM, and more. It runs on Cisco IOS XE with support for NETCONF/YANG, RESTCONF, and streaming telemetry.
4. How It Works
The switch uses Cisco's UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC for high-speed forwarding and programmable pipelines. It supports policy-based automation, secure segmentation, and real-time telemetry. PoE power is dynamically allocated and maintained even during reboots.
