The Cisco Catalyst C9200-24P-E is a robust, modular enterprise access switch engineered for secure and scalable campus and branch networks. Featuring 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports with a 370W power budget, it efficiently powers IP phones, wireless access points, and IoT devices while reducing infrastructure complexity.
Built on the Catalyst 9200 Series architecture and running the Network Essentials software tier, this switch delivers foundational Layer 3 routing, enterprise-grade security, and simplified operations. Its modular uplink design supports flexible expansion with 1G, 10G, 25G, or 40G network modules, allowing your network to scale as bandwidth demands grow - without replacing the switch.
Designed for high availability, the C9200-24P-E supports dual redundant, field-replaceable power supplies and fans, along with StackWise-160 technology for stacking up to eight switches into a single logical unit. Advanced security features such as MACsec encryption, secure boot, and 802.1X authentication help protect the access layer, while integration with Cisco DNA Center enables automation, visibility, and simplified lifecycle management.
Ideal for enterprise access deployments, branch offices, and PoE-heavy environments, the Cisco Catalyst C9200-24P-E offers a future-ready foundation for modern, intent-based networking.

FAQs:
Q1. Does this switch come with a power supply?
Yes, it includes one primary PWR-C5-600WAC power supply. For redundancy or increased PoE budget, a second power supply can be added to the secondary slot.
Q2. What is the difference between C9200 and C9200L models?
The C9200 (this model) features modular uplinks and a higher stacking bandwidth of 160 Gbps. The C9200L features fixed uplinks and 80 Gbps stacking.
Q3. Can I upgrade from Network Essentials to Network Advantage?
Yes, you can upgrade the software features via a license upgrade if you require advanced routing protocols like BGP or full EIGRP in the future.
Q4. Does this switch include the stacking cables?
No, the C9200-STACK-KIT and stacking cables must be purchased separately to enable StackWise-160 functionality.
Q5. Can the PoE budget be increased?
Yes. Adding a second 600W power supply allows you to increase the available PoE power or provide 1+1 power redundancy.
