C9200-24P-A Description

The C9200-24P-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series modular-uplink stackable access switch for wiring closets that power phones and access points. The switch has 24 1G PoE+ ports, a modular uplink slot, a 370W PoE budget on the default PWR-C6-600WAC and 128 Gbps of switching capacity that rises to 288 Gbps in a StackWise-160 stack. The -A suffix carries Network Advantage, which adds EIGRP, IS-IS, VRF, VXLAN and LISP to the Network Essentials feature set.

Key Features

Routing And Segmentation At The Access Layer

Network Advantage adds EIGRP, IS-IS, VRF, VXLAN and LISP to the Network Essentials feature set, so department or tenant routing can end at the closet instead of at the distribution layer.

PoE Budget And The Second Supply

The default 600W supply leaves 370W for PoE, about 15W per port across 24 ports. A second PWR-C6-600WAC raises the budget to 740W, above the 720W that 24 PoE+ ports can draw, so every port can run at 30W.

Uplink Module Choice

The single uplink slot takes the C9200-NM-4G for four 1G ports or the C9200-NM-4X for four 1G/10G ports, and a C9200-NM-BLANK keeps airflow intact when no uplink is fitted. Uplink speed is a module choice, so a closet can start on 1G and move to 10G without replacing the switch.

StackWise-160 Stacking

Up to eight C9200 switches of the same license level join one StackWise-160 stack at 160 Gbps. The stack acts as a single switch with up to 384 access ports and sub-50 ms failover.

Field-Replaceable Power And Fans

Both power supplies and the fan modules are field-replaceable, so a failed unit is swapped at the rack without removing the switch from service in the closet.

DC Supply Option

The PWR-C6-715WDC= supply gives 485W of PoE alone and 740W as a pair, and it can sit beside an AC supply as primary and backup. It is a spare-part supply that needs Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1 or later.

Application Scenarios

Floor Wiring Closet For Phones And Wi-Fi

In a floor wiring closet, the switch powers IP phones and wireless access points from its 24 PoE+ ports and carries their traffic to the distribution layer over the uplink module.

Tenant-Separated Office Floor

On an office floor shared by several tenants or departments, the switch keeps each group in its own VRF and starts that separation at the access layer.

Branch Office Access Stack

A branch office that outgrows one switch can add C9200 members to a StackWise-160 stack and manage the group as a single switch.

C9200-24P-A is the 24-port PoE+ Network Advantage model of this group: its ports share 370W on the default PWR-C6-600WAC and 740W with a second supply, while C9200-24T-A has the same 128 Gbps chassis and modular uplink bay on a PWR-C6-125WAC with no PoE, which suits closets that power no devices. Closets with more than 24 powered drops need C9200-48P-A, with 740W on one PWR-C6-1KWAC and 1440W on two. Uplinks fixed at 4 x 1/10G SFP+ are available on C9200L-24P-4X-A at the same 370W, but it stacks on StackWise-80 at 208 Gbps instead of 288 Gbps and cannot take uplink modules. Sites that do not need VRF, VXLAN or EIGRP can order C9200-24P-E instead, and an Essentials switch can be raised later with a C9200-LIC= term (C9200-24-E-A-3, -5 or -7), which cannot go on the switch order.

Ordering Checklist

  • Subscription: Select a matching Advantage 24-port term, such as C9200-DNA-A-24 or C9200-DNX-A-24-3Y. The hardware suffix sets the tier, CCW defaults to a 3-year Cisco DNA term that must match it, and a Smart Account is mandatory on every Catalyst 9200 order.
  • Uplink module: Select one of C9200-NM-4G (4 x 1G), C9200-NM-4X (4 x 1G/10G) or C9200-NM-BLANK; C9200-NM-2Y and C9200-NM-2Q do not apply. The modular bay ships without a chosen uplink speed, so a module or blank must fill it.
  • Second power supply: A second PWR-C6-600WAC is optional; PWR-C6-715WDC= is spare-only. One supply gives 370W of PoE; two give 740W.
  • Stack kit: Add C9200-STACK-KIT (two stack adapters and one cable) plus STACK-T4-50CM, STACK-T4-1M or STACK-T4-3M for longer runs. Stacking is an optional line in CCW, and C9200L-STACK-KIT is the kit for fixed-uplink models only.
  • Power cord: Select a CAB-TA cord for the destination country, such as CAB-TA-NA=, CAB-TA-EU= or CAB-TA-UK=. AC power supplies need a cord selected in CCW.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9200-24P-A be stacked?

    Yes, C9200-24P-A joins a StackWise-160 stack of up to 8 C9200 switches that run the same license level. The stack needs C9200-STACK-KIT, which is ordered separately, plus STACK-T4-1M or STACK-T4-3M when the default 50 cm cable is too short.
  • What does Network Advantage on C9200-24P-A include?

    Network Advantage on C9200-24P-A adds EIGRP, IS-IS, VRF, VXLAN and LISP to the Network Essentials feature set. The order needs a matching Advantage 24-port subscription, such as C9200-DNA-A-24, and a Smart Account.
  • Can C9200-24P-A join a stack with a fixed-uplink C9200L-24P-4X-A?

    No. Cisco does not support C9200 and C9200L switches in one stack, because StackWise-160 and StackWise-80 differ in stacking bandwidth. The data sheet also lists 16,000 MAC addresses and 2 GB DRAM for C9200L. C9200-24P-A can still join a stack with other C9200 variants, such as C9200-24T-A, when the license level matches.
  • Does C9200-24P-A reserve system power before it allocates PoE from the PWR-C6-600WAC?

    Yes. C9200-24P-A reserves 230W of the 600W supply for the switch itself, which leaves the 370W PoE budget. The PoE figure is the supply rating minus that system reservation. With two supplies in combined mode the PoE budget reaches 740W, per the Catalyst 9200 data sheet.
  • What output and hold-up time does the PWR-C6-600WAC give C9200-24P-A?

    The PWR-C6-600WAC outputs 54V at 11.1A, and its AC output hold-up time is 20 ms minimum at 100 VAC. It dissipates 2047.3 BTU/hr on an IEC 320-C16 inlet. A second supply must be an identical PWR-C6-600WAC. Use these values when sizing the UPS and closet cooling.
  • How do the internal rings of StackWise-160 work on C9200-24P-A?

    C9200-24P-A uses 4 internal StackWise-160 rings at 40 Gbps each. A full ring carries 80 Gbps, and spatial reuse (SRP) lifts stack throughput to 160 Gbps, per the Cisco StackWise white paper. The six-ring 240G and 480G figures in some training material belong to the Catalyst 3850 and do not apply to this switch.
  • Does C9200-24P-A support MACsec-256 with Network Advantage?

    No. C9200-24P-A supports MACsec-128 only. MACsec-256 requires Network Advantage, but on Catalyst 9200 only the C9200CX models implement it, so the -A license on C9200-24P-A does not add it. Catalyst 9300 and larger platforms support 256-bit MACsec with Network Advantage, so plan 256-bit link encryption there.
  • Does the Umbrella DNS connector on C9200-24P-A need the Advantage license?

    Yes. The Umbrella native connector forwards DNS requests from the switch to Cisco Umbrella and needs the Cisco DNA Advantage subscription. It is rated at about 200 flows per second and is available on Catalyst 9200 from IOS XE 16.12. C9200-24P-A is the Network Advantage variant, so it carries the entitlement.
  • Can C9200-24P-A run on a single fan during a fan failure?

    Yes, for a limited time. Per the Catalyst 9200 hardware installation guide, C9200-24P-A tolerates -5 to +45 C at up to 3000 m with one failed fan, for at most 96 consecutive hours. The limit is 360 hours or 15 occurrences per year. Replace the failed fan module before those limits are reached.
  • Does installing a cold-patch SMU on C9200-24P-A interrupt traffic?

    Yes. A software maintenance update (SMU) installed as a cold patch on C9200-24P-A needs a reload, which interrupts traffic while the switch restarts. A hot patch applies without a reload. Schedule cold patches inside a maintenance window and keep hot patches for changes that cannot take an outage.
  • What sound level does C9200-24P-A reach with all PoE+ ports loaded?

    C9200-24P-A measures 42 dB typical and 45 dB maximum sound pressure (LpA) with AC power and the PoE+ ports loaded. The values are measured to ISO 7779 and declared to ISO 9296. Consider this when the switch sits in an occupied office floor instead of a ventilated closet.
