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

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.

1440W PoE With Two Supplies

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.

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 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

High-Density Powered Floor

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.

Multi-Department Segmentation

In a closet that serves several departments, the switch separates their traffic with VRF-lite or VXLAN before it reaches the distribution switch.

Routed Access With First-Hop Redundancy

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.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9200-48P-A be stacked?

    Yes, C9200-48P-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 for longer runs.
  • What does Network Advantage on C9200-48P-A include?

    Network Advantage on C9200-48P-A adds EIGRP, IS-IS, VRF, VXLAN and LISP to the Network Essentials feature set. The order needs a matching Advantage 48-port subscription, such as C9200-DNA-A-48, and a Smart Account.
  • What happens to C9200-48P-A ports if one PWR-C6-1KWAC fails with all 48 ports at 30W?

    If the second power supply is removed while every port draws full PoE+ power, ports 25 to 48 lose power. The two supplies allocate the combined PoE pool to all ports, and one supply covers only part of it. Keep the average draw within the single-supply budget if the switch must run on one supply.
  • Does C9200-48P-A reserve system power before it allocates PoE from the PWR-C6-1KWAC?

    Yes. C9200-48P-A reserves 260W of the supply for the switch itself, which leaves the 740W PoE budget. The PWR-C6-1KWAC outputs 54V at 16.5A, per the Catalyst 9200 data sheet and hardware installation guide. Treat the 260W as unavailable to endpoints when planning the closet load.
  • Does C9200-48P-A support MACsec-256 with Network Advantage?

    No. C9200-48P-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 C9200-48P-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 C9200-48P-A need Network Advantage?

    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. C9200-48P-A is the Network Advantage variant, so it carries the entitlement.
  • Can C9200-48P-A share a stack with the fixed-uplink C9200L-48P-4G-A?

    No. Cisco does not support C9200 and C9200L in one stack, because StackWise-160 and StackWise-80 differ in bandwidth. The data sheet lists 4 GB DRAM for C9200 and 2 GB for C9200L, with matching differences in MAC capacity. C9200-48P-A can stack with other C9200 variants when the license level matches.
  • Can C9200-48P-A run with one failed fan?

    Yes, for a limited time. Per the Catalyst 9200 hardware installation guide, C9200-48P-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 C9200-48P-A interrupt traffic?

    Yes. A software maintenance update (SMU) installed as a cold patch on C9200-48P-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 C9200-48P-A reach with all PoE+ ports loaded?

    C9200-48P-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.
