C8200L-1N-4T Description
The C8200L-1N-4T is a Cisco Catalyst 8200L Edge Platform 1RU router for small branch offices that rely on cloud-delivered security. It has four 1G WAN ports (two SFP, two RJ-45), SD-WAN IPsec throughput of up to 500 Mbps at 1400 bytes, 1,500 overlay tunnels, one NIM slot, one PIM slot and 4 GB of DRAM. Container-based security and hosted applications are not supported, and ThousandEyes is the only container application it runs.

Product Performance
Key Features
Zone-based firewall, PKI, VPN segmentation and Cisco DNA Layer Security run inside the IOS XE image. Secure Internet Gateway integration then sends internet-bound traffic to Cisco Umbrella for inspection in the cloud.
Plain SD-WAN IPsec runs at up to 500 Mbps with 1400-byte packets and 400 Mbps at IMIX. Add QoS, deep packet inspection and Flexible NetFlow to the tunnels (the IQDF pattern) and the figures become 460 Mbps and 300 Mbps, the pair to plan a policy-heavy branch against.
At the default 4 GB the router holds 800k IPv4 or IPv6 routes and 600k NAT sessions. Controller mode runs on 4 GB, though 8 GB is the recommended size for feature-rich or high-scale SD-WAN deployments, and the single DIMM slot takes 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB modules.
In service plane heavy mode, the factory default, one of the four cores is set aside for the ThousandEyes agent. Running the agent takes at least 8 GB of DRAM and a ThousandEyes license, which means a larger DIMM than the 4 GB default. Sites without the agent can switch to data plane heavy mode and hand that core back to forwarding.
The router ships without an M.2 drive; its 8 GB onboard flash holds system files, logs and core dumps. The external M.2 slot takes a 16 GB or 32 GB M.2 USB card or a 600 GB NVMe drive, and the 16 GB card is ordered as the M2USB-16G= spare.
The PIM slot takes 5G Sub-6 GHz and CAT18 LTE pluggables such as P-5GS6-GL and P-LTEAP18-GL, with dual SIMs in active-standby mode. An external Cellular Gateway can run alongside the PIM module as an active-active cellular pair.
Application Scenarios
A small branch office with no security appliance on site sends its internet traffic to Cisco Umbrella for inspection, while the router handles SD-WAN routing and the tunnels to the cloud service.
Temporary or newly opened sites still waiting for a wired circuit can run their primary WAN over a 5G or CAT18 LTE pluggable, then add fiber or copper on the built-in SFP and RJ-45 ports once the circuit arrives.
A remote office that stays on traditional routing, configured by CLI or Catalyst Center in autonomous mode, can still be monitored from Catalyst SD-WAN Manager through SD-Routing on IOS XE 17.12.1a or later.

C8200L-1N-4T and C8200-1N-4T share four 1G WAN ports and the NIM and PIM slots, but C8200L-1N-4T stops at 500 Mbps of SD-WAN IPsec and 1,500 overlay tunnels, starts from 4 GB of DRAM with no M.2 drive, and has no container-based IPS, URL filtering or AMP. Encrypted traffic above 500 Mbps, more than 1,500 tunnels, or on-box security means C8200-1N-4T, which reaches 1 Gbps, 2,500 tunnels and 980 Mbps of internet traffic with the full security stack. Above 1 Gbps neither Catalyst 8200 model is enough, and C8300-1N1S-6T is the next step at up to 2 Gbps, with a service module slot and dual 250W supplies. Route scale does not separate the three, since each reaches 4M IPv4 routes with a 32 GB DIMM.

Ordering Checklist
- Storage line: No M.2 card ships by default; add M2USB-32G or SSD-M2NVME-600G when storage beyond the onboard flash is needed, since M2USB-16G is available only as the spare M2USB-16G=. Without a storage line the router runs on the 8 GB soldered flash, which is not upgradeable.
- DRAM line: MEM-C8200-4GB is the default; select MEM-C8200-8GB, MEM-C8200-16GB or MEM-C8200-32GB when the design needs more than 4 GB. The DIMM sits inside the chassis, so sizing it on the order avoids opening the router later.
- Software mode: Select IOSXE-AUTO-MODE for CLI or Catalyst Center management, or IOSXE-CTRL-MODE for Catalyst SD-WAN Manager; Catalyst Routing Essentials orders only with IOSXE-AUTO-MODE. The order defaults to autonomous mode unless controller mode is selected.
- Subscription: Place a Cisco DNA subscription or Catalyst Routing Essentials (ROUT-P-C8200-E-7Y) under the chassis line or on a separate L-DNA-C8200 line, tied to a Smart Account and Virtual Account. The chassis cannot be ordered without one, and every tier requires an SA/VA.
- HSEC license: Put C8000-HSEC on the BOM with a hardware-attached subscription, or C8000-HSEC-DNA with L-DNA-C8200. Without HSEC the router stops at 1,000 secure tunnels and 250 Mbps of one-way encrypted traffic.
- Bandwidth tier: Use Tier 2 of the Cisco DNA subscription when the design depends on the full 500 Mbps IPsec rate. A Tier 1 license limits one-way encrypted traffic to under 250 Mbps, or 500 Mbps aggregate from IOS XE 17.14.1a.
- PoE supply and power cords: Add PWR-CC1-150WAC when a PoE module is installed, plus a country-specific power cord for each supply. The external 150W supply is ordered separately, and cords are chosen per country.
