C9200L-48P-4G-E Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48P-4G-E is a flexible and efficient 48-port PoE+ access switch suitable for branch offices and campus deployments. It provides enhanced security, operational simplicity, and reliability with an innovative architecture optimized for programmability and scale.
With full IEEE 802.3at PoE+ support on all ports, the 9200L-48P-4G-E can power devices like wireless APs, security cameras, and IP phones. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters, simplifying deployment and management. This switch comes with capabilities like MACsec encryption, EasyQoS, Flexible NetFlow, and cloud management through Cisco Catalyst Center.
The switch offers 4 fixed 1GbE uplinks for basic 1GbE connectivity. Stackwise-80 allows stacking up to 8 units for 80Gbps of cumulative stacking bandwidth. Dual redundant power supplies and fans plus security features like Secure Boot harden it against threats and downtime.
Built on Cisco’s UADP ASIC and IOS XE Software, the Catalyst 9200L-48P-4G-E delivers the performance, scalability, and automation needed to support next-gen access networks. The switch can be managed through a web interface, command-line interface (CLI), or Cisco DNA Center (separate license required). This allows for easy configuration and monitoring of the switch.
