Cisco Catalyst 9200 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Stackable Switch, Modular Uplinks, Network Essentials

The Cisco Catalyst 9200 C9200-48P-E is a 1RU stackable access switch with 48 x 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports, a modular uplink slot and StackWise-160 - Cisco enterprise IOS XE switching for branch offices and SMB networks at a lower price than the Catalyst 9300. The default PWR-C6-1KWAC 1000 W supply gives a generous 740 W PoE budget.

The license is Network Essentials (perpetual, embedded): Layer 2 switching plus basic Layer 3 for routed access - static routes, RIP and OSPF. BGP, EIGRP, full multicast and advanced segmentation need Network Advantage. Cisco makes a Cisco DNA / Catalyst software subscription (3, 5 or 7 years) mandatory at the time of purchase, at a tier that matches the network license - Essentials or Advantage. We quote the subscription together with the switch.

• Catalyst 9200 C9200-48P-E with the default PWR-C6-1KWAC 1000 W supply installed
• AC power cord, 19-inch rack-mount brackets, screws, rubber feet and cable guide
• RJ-45/USB console cable (per the Cisco installation guide)
• No network module, no transceivers and no stack kit

• 740 W of PoE+ powers about 24 devices at a full 30 W or all 48 ports at 15 W from one supply; a second PWR-C6-1KWAC raises it to 1440 W.
• StackWise-160 joins up to 8 Catalyst 9200 switches into one managed unit with C9200-STACK-KIT.
• Network Essentials covers VLANs, QoS, access security, static, RIP and OSPF routed access - the normal needs of an office access layer.

• C9200-NM-2Y and C9200-NM-2Q modules: supported only on the 24PXG/48PXG models, not on the 48P.
• Stacking with Catalyst 9200L, 9300 or other families - only with Catalyst 9200 at the same license level.
• UPOE or 802.3bt devices above 30 W per port.
• Uplinks without a network module.
• Advanced routing (BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS), full PIM multicast and advanced segmentation: not on Network Essentials - they need a Network Advantage upgrade license.
