C9200-48P-E Description

48 PoE+ copper ports, one modular network-module uplink bay, and the Network Essentials license tier define the C9200-48P-E, a Cisco Catalyst 9200 access switch built for wiring closets that stay inside Layer 2 switching and Routed Access rather than running EIGRP or segmentation at the edge. Network Essentials on this hardware already covers static routing, Routed Access with OSPF up to 1000 routes, PBR, VRRP, QoS, 802.1X, and MACsec-128, which is the licensed feature set the closet gets without the Network Advantage subscription line. The uplink bay takes either the C9200-NM-4G for 1G aggregation or the C9200-NM-4X for 10G, so the module line item on the order, not the chassis, sets the uplink speed. A single default PWR-C6-1KWAC supply funds a 740W PoE budget across the 48 ports, and Cisco confirms a second PWR-C6-1KWAC of the same model raises that to 1440W. Standalone switching capacity is 176 Gbps, extending to 336 Gbps in a StackWise-160 stack of up to eight modular Catalyst 9200 members, with field-replaceable power supplies and fan modules keeping routine service in the rack.

Key Features

Routed Access Ceiling Inside Network Essentials

Network Essentials already covers Layer 2 switching, static routing, and Routed Access with OSPF capped at 1000 routes, so a closet that never needs EIGRP or IS-IS gets its full routing scope without paying for the Advantage tier.

StackWise-160 Scale Without A License Step-Up

Up to eight modular Catalyst 9200 switches join the same 160 Gbps StackWise-160 ring at Network Essentials, so adding stack members for port count does not by itself force a license change.

Full 30W Coverage With Dual Supplies

A second PWR-C6-1KWAC lifts the PoE budget from 740W to 1440W, which equals 48 ports times the 30W PoE+ rating, so a closet can commit every port to powered endpoints without an oversubscription calculation.

Uplink Speed Decided By Module, Not License Tier

The network-module bay takes the C9200-NM-4G for 1G aggregation or the C9200-NM-4X for 10G independently of the Essentials license, so an uplink speed change never requires touching the software entitlement.

Field-Replaceable Power And Fans

Power supplies and fan modules on the modular Catalyst 9200 line are FRU parts, so a failed supply or fan is swapped in the rack rather than triggering a chassis replacement.

NETCONF/RESTCONF And Telemetry Ship With Network Essentials

NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG programmability, model-driven telemetry, and sampled NetFlow are part of the Network Essentials feature set on this hardware, so automation and traffic-visibility tooling can be built against this switch on the installed license.

Application Scenarios

Layer 2 Wiring Closet With Static Uplinks

Deployed as a pure access-layer switch where all routing decisions happen upstream and the closet itself only needs VLAN switching, 802.1X, and static or PBR-based traffic steering.

Standardized Branch Access Rollout

Used across multiple branch wiring closets where the design intentionally keeps every closet on the same Network Essentials feature set to simplify configuration templates and staff training.

Powered Endpoint Aggregation Without Local Segmentation

Installed in floors that aggregate PoE+ access points, IP phones, and desktop endpoints where department or tenant separation is handled at the distribution layer instead of inside the closet.

  • Every hardware row is identical between C9200-48P-E and C9200-48P-A, so the only path from one to the other is a full re-order rather than a field change: Cisco publishes no in-place PID that adds EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, or VRF-lite/VXLAN/LISP segmentation to Essentials hardware already on the rack, so a closet that later needs routed segmentation at the access tier has to replace the switch order, not just the subscription line.
  • Moving up to C9200-24P-A instead of adding routing scope to this 48-port model is not a valid substitution: 24-port hardware halves the powered port count and drops the power class to PWR-C6-600WAC with a 370W default budget, so it answers a smaller closet, not a licensing gap on a 48-port design.
  • C9200L-48P-4G-A carries the same 48 PoE+ ports and the same 740W/1440W PoE budgets at Network Advantage on fixed 4x 1G SFP uplinks, but its StackWise-80 stack and 104 Gbps standalone capacity are both lower than this model’s modular-uplink numbers, so it is not a like-for-like upgrade path even though the license tier matches what a future Advantage requirement would need.
  • For deciding whether to stay on C9200-48P-E, check the routing and segmentation requirement first, since that is the only gap Network Essentials cannot close on this hardware; if EIGRP, IS-IS, or VRF-lite/VXLAN segmentation becomes a real requirement, budget for a new C9200-48P-A order rather than an upgrade PID, because the port count, power class, and stacking architecture in this comparison group do not change that outcome.

Selection Guide

1. Essentials Ceiling Before Routed Segmentation Is Needed

Network Essentials on this hardware already covers Layer 2 switching, Routed Access with OSPF up to 1000 routes, PBR, and VRRP, so C9200-48P-E is the right order while the closet design has no confirmed requirement for EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, or VRF-lite/VXLAN/LISP segmentation; once one of those features is on the roadmap, budget the switch as an Advantage-tier purchase from the start.

2. No In-Place Path To C9200-48P-A

Cisco does not publish a same-hardware upgrade PID that moves this switch from Network Essentials to Network Advantage, so a routing or segmentation requirement discovered after deployment means ordering a new C9200-48P-A unit and retiring or redeploying this one elsewhere, not applying a license key.

3. Subscription Tier Follows The Hardware, Not The Wish List

An Advantage-tier term subscription cannot unlock Advantage features on this Essentials-licensed hardware, so the software line to select is always the Essentials-tier group, such as C9200-DNA-E-48 or C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y/5Y/7Y, for as long as C9200-48P-E stays the hardware order; picking a higher subscription tier only adds cost, not capability.

4. Uplink Module Choice Independent Of The License Decision

The C9200-NM-4G and C9200-NM-4X uplink modules install on this hardware the same way they do on C9200-48P-A, so a 1G-to-10G uplink change can happen on its own schedule without touching the license-driven re-order decision covered above.

Ordering Checklist

Check Item

What to Confirm

Why It Matters

Exact license suffix

C9200-48P-E carries Network Essentials; the -A suffix on identical hardware carries Network Advantage

The perpetual Network Stack tier is set by the hardware PID and cannot be license-upgraded in place

Matching subscription tier

An Essentials-tier term subscription from the 48-port group, such as C9200-DNA-E-48 or C9200-DNX-E-48-3Y/5Y/7Y

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-C6-1KWAC is needed for the 1440W expanded budget

A single supply caps the PoE budget at 740W, roughly half the 48-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 1KW supply class (15A)

An under-rated or wrong-plug cord blocks power-up at installation

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9200-48P-E used for?

    Cisco C9200-48P-E is used for 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access with Network Essentials licensing and modular uplinks. Use it when 48 powered 1G ports and selectable uplink speed are required.
  • Can C9200-48P-E power all 48 ports?

    C9200-48P-E is a full 48-port PoE+ model, but the actual powered endpoint count depends on wattage and installed power supplies. Plan the power budget before loading every port.
  • What uplink options does C9200-48P-E support?

    C9200-48P-E supports C9200 modular uplink choices, including 1G, 10G, 25G, and 40G module options. The switch should be quoted with the required uplink module.
  • Can C9200-48P-E be stacked?

    Yes. C9200-48P-E supports StackWise-160 with compatible Catalyst 9200 modular switches. Stacking can simplify management for multiple 48-port PoE+ switches.
  • How is C9200-48P-E different from C9200-48P-A?

    C9200-48P-E ships with Network Essentials, while C9200-48P-A ships with Network Advantage. Both target 48-port PoE+ access with modular uplink choices.
  • How is C9200-48P-E different from C9200L-48P-4X-E?

    C9200-48P-E uses modular uplink modules and StackWise-160, while C9200L-48P-4X-E has fixed 10G uplinks and StackWise-80. C9200-48P-E is better when uplink flexibility is required.
  • When is C9200-48P-E better than C9200-48PL-E?

    Choose C9200-48P-E when the design needs full PoE+ capability across a 48-port model. C9200-48PL-E is for lower PoE demand where partial PoE is acceptable.
  • When is C9200-48P-E not the best fit?

    C9200-48P-E is not the best fit when Network Advantage is required, APs need multigigabit access, or the site needs a compact fanless switch. Compare C9200-48P-A, C9200-48PXG-E, or C9200CX models.
