PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Extend Intent-Based Networking Everywhere.

Cisco^® Catalyst^® 9200 Series switches extend the power of intent-based networking and Catalyst 9000 hardware and software innovation to a broader set of deployments. With its family pedigree, Catalyst 9200 Series switches offer simplicity without compromise – it is secure, always on, and IT simplified.

As foundational building blocks for the Cisco Networking Cloud, Catalyst 9200 Series switches help customers simplify complexity, optimize IT, and reduce operational costs by leveraging intelligence, automation, and human expertise that no other vendor can deliver, regardless of where you are in the intent-based networking journey.

With full PoE+ capability, power and fan redundancy, stacking bandwidth up to 160 Gbps, modular uplinks, Layer 3 feature support, and cold patching, Catalyst 9200 Series switches are the industry’s unparalleled solution with differentiated resiliency and progressive architecture for cost-effective branch-office access. Catalyst 9200 Series switches also provide operational choice of CLI, Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly Cisco DNA Center) on-premises management, or cloud monitoring for Catalyst on the Meraki dashboard.

The Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series is made up of modular (C9200), fixed (C9200L) and compact (C9200CX) switch models.

Product Highlights

• Full Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability for up to 48 ports for C9200. Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability for up to 12 ports, IEEE 802.3bt class 6 and Cisco UPOE capability for up to 8 ports for C9200CX.

• Resiliency with Field-Replaceable Units (FRU) and redundant power supply, fans, and modular uplinks for C9200 models. C9200CX models are fanless and are powered by an internal fixed power supply or optional power adapters, when not powered by upstream IEEE 802.3bt class 6 60W PSE.

• Flexible power source options from line voltage AC, low voltage DC to High Voltage DC (HVDC) in C9200CX models provide the choices for customers to migrate to efficient DC micro grid powered by renewable energy sources for a sustainable future.

• Flexible downlink options with data, PoE+, UPOE, UPOE with mGig for Wi-Fi 6/6E.

• Operational efficiency with optional backplane stacking, supporting stacking bandwidth up to 160 Gbps.

• Enhanced security with AES-128 MACsec encryption on C9200 and AES-256 MACsec encryption for C9200CX models, policy-based segmentation, and trustworthy solutions for the whole Catalyst 9200 Series.

• UADP 2.0 Mini with integrated CPU offers customers optimized scale with a better cost structure.

• Layer 3 capabilities, including OSPF, EIGRP, ISIS, RIP, and routed access. C9200CX also supports basic BGP from IOS-XE 17.13.1 for more versatile deployments.

•  Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access).

• Plug and Play (PnP) enabled: A simple, secure, unified, and integrated offering to ease new branch or campus device rollouts or updates to an existing network.

• Cisco IOS XE: A Common Licensing-based operating system for the enterprise Cisco Catalyst 9000 product family with support for model-driven programmability and streaming telemetry.

• ASIC with programmable pipeline and micro-engine capabilities, along with template-based, configurable allocation of Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Quality of Service (QoS) entries.

• Precision Time Protocol (PTP; IEEE 1588v2) supported on C9200CX models provides accurate clock synchronization with sub-microsecond accuracy making it suitable for distribution and synchronization of time and frequency over network.

• Cloud monitoring for Catalyst on the Meraki dashboard.

• ENERGY STAR^® certified models (C9200L models).
