C9200-24P-A - Cisco Catalyst 9200 24-Port PoE+ Network Advantage
Cisco C9200-24P-A Catalyst 9200 24-Port PoE+ Network Advantage Switch
Enterprise-Grade Modular Layer 3 Switching with Advanced Security and Automation
The Cisco Catalyst C9200-24P-A is a high-performance, modular enterprise access switch built to deliver advanced routing, security, and scalability for modern campus networks. Part of the trusted Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series, this switch is powered by the Network Advantage license, enabling full Layer 3 routing with support for BGP, EIGRP, OSPF, and VRF-Lite - making it ideal for organizations that require robust routing at the access layer.
Featuring 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports with a 370W power budget (expandable with higher-capacity power supplies), the C9200-24P-A is well-suited for powering wireless access points, IP phones, cameras, and IoT devices. Its modular uplink architecture supports flexible 1G, 10G, 25G, or 40G uplink modules, allowing the switch to scale seamlessly as network demands grow.
With a 128 Gbps switching capacity, 190.47 Mpps forwarding rate, and StackWise-160 technology, up to eight switches can operate as a single logical unit with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth, delivering high availability and simplified management. Enterprise-grade security features such as Cisco TrustSec, Secure Boot, and 128-bit MACsec encryption help protect the network against unauthorized access and threats.
Designed for resiliency, the Cisco C9200-24P-A supports dual redundant, field-replaceable power supplies and fans, ensuring maximum uptime in mission-critical deployments. Integration with Cisco DNA Center and support for automation and telemetry make this switch a strong foundation for intent-based networking and long-term campus modernization.

FAQs:
Q1. What is the benefit of the "Network Advantage" license?
It unlocks advanced Layer 3 features like BGP and EIGRP, plus enhanced segmentation, which are not available in the "Network Essentials" tier.
Q2. Does this switch include the uplink module?
No, the uplink module (NM) is modular and must be purchased separately based on your speed requirements (e.g., 4x10G or 2x40G).
Q3. Can the PoE budget be increased?
Yes. Adding a second power supply allows you to increase the PoE budget from 370W to 740W.
Q4. Is this switch stackable?
Yes, it supports StackWise-160, allowing you to stack up to 8 switches with a combined throughput of 160 Gbps.
Q5. What is the difference between C9200 and C9200L?
The C9200 features modular uplinks and higher stacking speeds, whereas the C9200L has fixed uplinks and lower stacking capacity.
