C9200-NM-2Q Description

The C9200-NM-2Q is a Cisco Catalyst 9200 2 x 40GE network module for adding 40G uplinks to multigigabit access switches. The module has two 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ slots and installs in the uplink bay of the C9200-24PXG and C9200-48PXG. The module is not supported on other Catalyst 9200 models, and it was introduced in Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.1.1.

Application Scenarios

40G Uplinks From A Multigigabit Closet

In a wiring closet where a C9200-24PXG or C9200-48PXG serves multigigabit access points and desktops, the module carries the floor’s traffic to the distribution layer over two 40G QSFP+ links.

Redundant Links To Two Aggregation Switches

With one QSFP+ link to each of two aggregation switches, the access switch keeps a 40G path available when one link or one upstream switch fails.

C9200-NM-2Q gives two 40G QSFP+ uplink slots and fits only C9200-24PXG and C9200-48PXG, the same two hosts as C9200-NM-2Y, which has two 25G SFP28 slots, so 25G uplink plans take C9200-NM-2Y. A plan with four 10G SFP+ uplinks takes C9200-NM-4X, which also fits the 1G Catalyst 9200 models. C9200-NM-4G offers four 1G SFP slots and is not supported on C9200-24PXG or C9200-48PXG, so it cannot replace the 40G module on these switches.

Ordering Checklist

  • Catalyst 9200 multigigabit hosts: Install the module only in C9200-24PXG or C9200-48PXG. It is supported only on these two Catalyst 9200 multigigabit models; Catalyst 9200L and Catalyst 9200CX have no network-module slot.

    We don’t recommend vendors lightly. Layer23 has our endorsement. Took a little longer to clear customs than expected, otherwise excellent.

    We’ve never received a damaged shipment from Layer23. That’s a streak worth mentioning.

Questions & Answers

  • Does the C9200-24PXG uplink bay need a blank module if C9200-NM-2Q is not installed?

    Yes. A blank module, NM-BLANK, is required when no network module is installed, because the switch must operate with either a module or a blank in the bay. C9200-NM-2Q is field-replaceable, so the bay can be fitted with the blank again whenever the module is removed.
  • Do cables and transceivers have to be removed before installing C9200-NM-2Q?

    Yes. Remove all cables and pluggable transceivers before installing or removing C9200-NM-2Q. This protects the module and the optics during the swap. Reinsert the QSFP+ transceivers and cables only after the module is seated in the uplink bay of the switch.
  • Can C9200-NM-2Q be installed in a C9200L or C9200CX switch?

    No. C9200-NM-2Q installs only in the uplink bay of C9200-24PXG and C9200-48PXG multigigabit switches. Catalyst 9200L and Catalyst 9200CX switches have no network-module slot for it. The host switch must run Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.1.1 or later, so check the running release before you order the module.
  • Which spare PID covers a failed C9200-NM-2Q uplink module?

    Order C9200-NM-2Q= as the spare PID. The spare is the same module with two 40G QSFP+ slots. It fits the uplink bay of C9200-24PXG and C9200-48PXG only. If the module is removed and not replaced, fit NM-BLANK in the bay, because the switch must run with either a network module or a blank installed.
