C9200-48P-A Description
The C9200-48P-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series modular-uplink stackable access switch for dense wiring closets that power phones, cameras and access points. The switch has 48 1G PoE+ ports, a modular uplink slot, a 740W PoE budget on the default PWR-C6-1KWAC and 176 Gbps of switching capacity. The -A suffix carries Network Advantage, which adds EIGRP, IS-IS, VRF, VXLAN and LISP to the Network Essentials feature set.

Key Features
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.
The default PWR-C6-1KWAC leaves 740W for PoE, about 15W per port across 48 ports. A second PWR-C6-1KWAC raises the budget to 1440W, which is 30W on every one of the 48 ports.
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.
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.
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.
The PWR-C6-715WDC= supply gives 485W of PoE alone and 970W 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
A large office floor with many phones, cameras and access points can terminate all of them on one switch, with PoE+ on each of the 48 ports.
In a closet that serves several departments, the switch separates their traffic with VRF-lite or VXLAN before it reaches the distribution switch.
Where the access layer runs EIGRP or IS-IS and terminates HSRP, the switch handles first-hop routing locally instead of forwarding everything at Layer 2.

C9200-48P-A is the 48-port PoE+ Network Advantage model of this group: it differs from C9200-48P-E only in license, since both carry 740W of PoE on one PWR-C6-1KWAC, 1440W on two, and 176 Gbps standalone switching. Sites that do not need VRF, VXLAN or EIGRP can order C9200-48P-E, and an Essentials switch can be raised later with a C9200-LIC= term (C9200-48-E-A-3, -5 or -7), which cannot go on the switch order. Closets with 24 or fewer powered drops can use C9200-24P-A at 370W and 128 Gbps. Uplinks fixed at 4 x 1G SFP are available on C9200L-48P-4G-A at the same 740W, but it stacks on StackWise-80, drops to 104 Gbps standalone and cannot take uplink modules.

Ordering Checklist
- Subscription: Select a matching Advantage 48-port term, such as C9200-DNA-A-48 or C9200-DNX-A-48-3Y. 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-C6-1KWAC is optional; PWR-C6-715WDC= is spare-only. One supply gives 740W of PoE; two give 1440W.
- 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.
