C9200-24P-A Description
The C9200-24P-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9200 modular-uplink stackable access switch built around 24 PoE+ copper ports and the Network Advantage license tier, aimed at wiring closets that need routing and segmentation features handled locally rather than pushed up to a distribution switch. Uplink speed is set by the network module dropped into the single uplink bay, not by the chassis: the C9200-NM-4G brings 1G aggregation and the C9200-NM-4X brings 10G, so the same hardware line item covers either uplink plan. A single default PWR-C6-600WAC supply funds a 370W PoE budget across the 24 ports, which reaches 740W once a second PWR-C6-600WAC is added, effectively the full 802.3at PoE+ draw the port count can pull. Switching capacity lands at 128 Gbps standalone, rising to 288 Gbps when the switch joins a StackWise-160 stack of up to eight modular Catalyst 9200 members, and both the power supplies and fan modules are field-replaceable so a closet visit does not turn into a chassis swap. Network Advantage on this hardware layers EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, and VRF-lite, VXLAN, and LISP segmentation over the Layer 2 and Routed Access base that Network Essentials already covers.

Product Performance
Key Features
The Network Advantage license adds EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, and VRF-lite, VXLAN, and LISP segmentation on top of Network Essentials, so a 24-port closet can enforce department or tenant boundaries locally instead of forwarding everything upstream at Layer 2.
Adding a second PWR-C6-600WAC lifts the PoE budget from 370W to 740W, close to the full 802.3at PoE+ ceiling the 24-port count can draw, which matters when the closet is filling with phones, cameras, and access points rather than staying half-populated.
The single network-module bay takes either the C9200-NM-4G for 1G aggregation or the C9200-NM-4X for 10G, so the uplink decision rides on the module line item and does not lock in the switch hardware itself.
Up to eight modular Catalyst 9200 switches join one 160 Gbps StackWise-160 ring that behaves as a single virtual switch with up to 384 access ports, keeping a growing closet under one management plane with sub-50ms stateful failover.
Power supplies and fan modules on this modular Catalyst 9200 line are FRU parts, so a failed unit is swapped at the rack instead of forcing a full chassis replacement.
NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG programmability, model-driven telemetry, SPAN/RSPAN mirroring, and sampled NetFlow all ship as part of the Network Essentials layer under this switch’s Network Advantage license, so monitoring and automation tooling can be built against it from day one.
Application Scenarios
Deployed in floor closets where the access layer itself terminates Routed Access or Advantage-tier routing protocols, rather than relying on an upstream distribution switch for every routing decision.
Installed where VRF-lite, VXLAN, or LISP segmentation needs to start at the closet switch to keep tenant or department traffic separated before it reaches the rest of the campus fabric.
Used to aggregate PoE+ access points, IP phones, and desktop endpoints across a floor or wing sized for roughly 24 powered drops per closet rather than a full 48-port block.

- C9200-48P-A doubles the powered port count to 48 and steps the power class up to PWR-C6-1KWAC for a 740W/1440W PoE budget, a move that only pays off once the closet is filling past 24 powered drops; below that line, C9200-24P-A covers the same modular-uplink Advantage role on the smaller 600W power class.
- Dropping PoE entirely, C9200-24T-A keeps the identical 128 Gbps switching capacity and modular uplink bay but runs on a 125W supply with no PoE budget at all, a fit only where the 24 ports terminate switches, routers, or other non-powered gear rather than phones or access points.
- C9200L-24P-4X-A matches the same 24 PoE+ ports and the same 370W/740W PoE budgets at a fixed-uplink configuration, but it locks uplinks at 4x 1/10G SFP+, halves the stack to StackWise-80, and drops stacked switching capacity to 208 Gbps, a trade that only makes sense once the uplink speed choice is already settled and the network-module bay’s flexibility is not needed.
- For deciding which SKU to order, settle the PoE requirement first, since only C9200-24T-A drops PoE entirely in this group; then size the powered port count against C9200-48P-A; and last decide whether the uplink media needs to stay open-ended, which is the line separating C9200-24P-A from the fixed-uplink C9200L-24P-4X-A at the same port and power scale.
Selection Guide
1. Scaling Past 24 Powered Drops
Once a closet’s PoE+ device count is confirmed to run past 24 and toward the 48-port range, C9200-48P-A carries the same modular-uplink Advantage role on the larger PWR-C6-1KWAC power class instead of forcing a second C9200-24P-A chassis into the same rack; staying on C9200-24P-A only holds while the closet’s powered footprint is expected to stay near or under 24 ports.
2. Non-Powered Ports Route To C9200-24T-A
When the 24 downlink ports are confirmed to terminate switches, routers, or other equipment that draws no PoE, C9200-24T-A carries the identical modular-uplink hardware and Network Advantage tier at a smaller 125W power class with no PoE budget; keeping C9200-24P-A only makes sense once even a portion of those ports is expected to power an endpoint.
3. Fixed Uplink Trade Against C9200L-24P-4X-A
C9200L-24P-4X-A delivers the same 24 PoE+ ports and the same 370W/740W PoE budgets with 4x 1/10G SFP+ uplinks fixed at the factory and StackWise-80 in place of StackWise-160; taking that configuration gives up the network-module bay’s ability to change uplink media later, so it only fits designs where the uplink speed is already locked in.
4. License Tier Sets The Routing Ceiling, Not The Term Length
An order for C9200-24P-A pairs with the Advantage 24-port subscription group, C9200-DNA-A-24 or C9200-DNX-A-24-3Y/5Y, while Cisco publishes no in-place PID to move the same hardware from Network Essentials to Network Advantage after the fact; the license decision at order time therefore locks in whether EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, and VRF-lite/VXLAN segmentation are available at this closet, independent of which subscription term is chosen.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact license suffix |
C9200-24P-A carries Network Advantage; the -E suffix on identical hardware carries Network Essentials |
The perpetual Network Stack tier is set by the hardware PID and cannot be license-upgraded in place |
|
Matching subscription tier |
An Advantage-tier term subscription from the 24-port group, such as C9200-DNA-A-24 or C9200-DNX-A-24-3Y/5Y |
Every Catalyst 9200 order requires a matching-tier Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst subscription under a mandatory Smart Account |
|
Uplink module line item |
One of C9200-NM-4G, C9200-NM-4X, or C9200-NM-BLANK is on the order |
The switch must run with a module or blank installed, and the mGig-only C9200-NM-2Y/C9200-NM-2Q modules do not apply to this model |
|
Second power supply |
Whether a second PWR-C6-600WAC is needed for the 740W expanded budget |
A single supply caps the PoE budget at 370W, about half the 24-port full PoE+ rating |
|
Stack kit inclusion |
C9200-STACK-KIT plus stack members at the same license level |
The kit is not included by default, and StackWise-160 members must share the license tier |
|
Power cord selection |
A country-specific CAB-TA cord rated for the 600W supply class (15A) |
An under-rated or wrong-plug cord blocks power-up at installation |
|
Software baseline |
Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.10.1 or later |
16.10.1 is the introductory release for this model, and earlier releases cannot run it |
