C9200L-48P-4G-E - Cisco Catalyst 9200L 48-Port PoE+ 4x1G Network Essentials
Cisco C9200L-48P-4G-E Catalyst 9200L 48-Port PoE+ Switch
Secure, Resilient, and Managed Gigabit Connectivity with Network Essentials
The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48P-4G-E is a powerful, enterprise-grade Layer 3 access switch engineered for secure, scalable campus and branch networks. Equipped with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and 4 fixed 1G SFP uplinks, this switch enables seamless connectivity for IP phones, Wi-Fi access points, IoT devices, and surveillance systems while simplifying network architecture.
Powered by Cisco Network Essentials software, the C9200L-48P-4G-E supports essential Layer 3 routing protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, and RIP, making it an ideal choice for modern routed access designs. Its StackWise-80 technology allows up to eight switches to operate as a single logical unit, delivering simplified management, higher resiliency, and scalable performance.
Built on the Cisco UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC, the switch delivers predictable performance, advanced telemetry, and enhanced security features including AES-128 MACsec encryption, Secure Boot, and policy-based segmentation. With up to 740W of PoE power (expandable to 1440W) and support for dual redundant power supplies, the C9200L-48P-4G-E ensures business continuity and readiness for high-density PoE deployments.
Optimized for Cisco DNA Center, this switch enables automation, monitoring, and assurance - helping enterprises reduce operational complexity while maintaining strong security and performance at the access layer.

FAQs:
Q1. What is the difference between the C9200 and C9200L series?
The "L" in C9200L stands for "Lite" or "Fixed" models. These switches feature fixed uplink ports (cannot be changed), whereas the standard C9200 series features modular uplink slots.
Q2. Can I achieve a higher PoE budget than 740W?
Yes. By adding a second PWR-C5-1KWAC power supply, you can increase the total PoE power budget to 1440W, ensuring full 30W PoE+ availability across all 48 ports simultaneously.
Q3. Does the Network Essentials license support advanced routing?
Network Essentials supports foundational Layer 3 features including Static Routing, OSPF (up to 1000 routes), EIGRP-Stub, and RIP. For full OSPF, BGP, or advanced segmentation, a Network Advantage license upgrade would be required.
Q4. Is this switch compatible with Cisco DNA Center?
Yes, it is fully supported by Cisco DNA Center for automated provisioning, monitoring, and software management, though a Cisco DNA Essentials license is typically required to unlock these features.
Q5. Can I stack C9200L switches with C9200 (modular) switches?
No. Mixed stacking between fixed (C9200L) and modular (C9200) SKUs is not supported. You can only stack C9200L models with other C9200L models.
