C9200L-24P-4X-A Description
The C9200L-24P-4X-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9200L fixed-uplink access switch built around 24 PoE+ copper ports and four fixed 1/10G SFP+ uplink ports, positioned for branch-office and entry-level enterprise wiring closets that need full PoE+ output without a modular uplink module to configure. It ships with the Network Advantage license tier, adding EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, and network segmentation features such as VRF-lite, VXLAN, and LISP on top of the Layer 2 and Routed Access base that Network Essentials already covers. Power comes from a default PWR-C5-600WAC supply delivering a 370W PoE budget, with a second supply raising that to 740W across the 24 ports. The switch stacks through StackWise-80 at up to eight members, and the fixed 4x10G uplinks let a closet standardize on SFP+ optics instead of waiting on a network-module order. As an Advantage-tier PoE+ access switch with 10G-capable uplinks, it fits campus or branch designs where the access layer itself needs routed segmentation and multicast features rather than pure Layer 2 forwarding to a distribution switch.

Product Performance
Key Features
All 24 copper ports support 802.3at PoE+, and the default PWR-C5-600WAC supply covers a 370W budget without requiring a second power supply purchase for typical phone-and-AP closets.
The four fixed 1/10G SFP+ ports remove the network-module selection step that modular C9200 switches require, so the uplink bill of materials is limited to picking SFP or SFP+ optics rather than a module PID.
Up to eight C9200L-24P-4X-A units join the same StackWise-80 ring at 80 Gbps, letting a wiring closet grow port count without adding standalone management points, as long as every member stays within the C9200L stacking family.
The Advantage license adds EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, and segmentation features (VRF-lite, VXLAN, LISP) that Network Essentials does not include, which matters when the access switch itself needs to participate in routing or multi-tenant segmentation instead of only forwarding to a routed distribution layer.
Adding a second PWR-C5-600WAC raises the PoE budget from 370W to 740W, which matters for closets approaching full 24-port PoE+ device density rather than a light phone-only deployment.
NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG programmability and model-driven telemetry are part of the Network Stack license baseline on this hardware, so automation scripts and telemetry collectors can be pointed at the switch without a separate feature license or a subscription-tier change.
Application Scenarios
Deployed as the access layer in a branch or campus wiring closet where the switch itself needs Network Advantage routing features such as EIGRP or HSRP, not just Layer 2 forwarding to an upstream router.
Used where VRF-lite or VXLAN segmentation is applied directly at the access layer to separate tenant or department traffic before it reaches the distribution switch.
Installed to power IP phones, PoE+ access points, and PoE-powered cameras across 24 ports from a single default supply, with headroom to add a second supply as endpoint density grows.

- The license split between C9200L-24P-4X-A and C9200L-24P-4X-E sits on identical 24-port PoE+ hardware with the same 370W/740W PoE budget and the same 4x10G uplinks, so a design that never needs EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, or VRF-lite/VXLAN segmentation at the access layer can drop to the Network Essentials C9200L-24P-4X-E and skip the Advantage subscription cost.
- Moving up to C9200L-48P-4X-A instead of staying on the 24-port model doubles the access-port count and default PoE budget (740W vs 370W) at the cost of a larger PWR-C5-1KWAC supply, which only pays off when the closet needs more than 24 PoE+ drops on one stack member.
- Choosing C9200L-24P-4G-A over C9200L-24P-4X-A keeps the same 24-port PoE+ chassis and license tier but drops the uplink ceiling to 1G SFP, cutting standalone switching capacity from 128 Gbps to 56 Gbps; that trade only makes sense when the upstream distribution link is confirmed to stay at 1G.
- Cisco’s ordering guide does not publish an in-place upgrade PID that converts a Network Essentials C9200L-24P-4X-E to Advantage on the same hardware, so for deciding which SKU to order, settle the routing/segmentation requirement first and the port-count and uplink-speed questions second, since those two dimensions do not separate this group from the 4G uplink alternative.
Selection Guide
1. When Network Essentials Covers The Same Hardware
C9200L-24P-4X-A ships with Network Advantage; the identical 24-port PoE+, 4x10G-uplink hardware is also sold as C9200L-24P-4X-E at Network Essentials, so an access role that only needs Layer 2 forwarding, static routing, or Routed Access up to 1000 OSPF routes can take the Essentials-tier order instead of paying for Advantage features it will not use.
2. No In-Place License Upgrade Path Exists
Cisco’s ordering guide does not list a same-hardware upgrade PID from Network Essentials to Network Advantage for this platform; a project that starts on C9200L-24P-4X-E and later needs EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, or VRF-lite/VXLAN segmentation has to place a new C9200L-24P-4X-A hardware order rather than license-upgrade the installed unit.
3. Second Power Supply Threshold For Full PoE+ Load
The default PWR-C5-600WAC supply covers a 370W PoE budget; a closet that plans to power PoE+ devices across most or all of the 24 ports at once should size a second PWR-C5-600WAC into the order to reach the 740W expanded budget rather than risk running short at full port density.
4. Uplink Media Boundary Against The 4G Variant
C9200L-24P-4X-A fixes its uplinks at 1/10G SFP+; if the design is confirmed to stay on 1G uplinks permanently, the 1G-only C9200L-24P-4G-A carries the same 24-port PoE+ access layer and license tier at a lower standalone switching capacity, so the uplink speed requirement is the deciding factor between the two, not the port count or license.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact license suffix |
C9200L-24P-4X-A carries Network Advantage; C9200L-24P-4X-E carries Network Essentials on identical hardware |
Ordering the wrong suffix locks in the wrong license tier on hardware that cannot be license-upgraded in place |
|
Matching subscription tier |
Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA term subscription (3, 5, or 7 years) must match the Advantage hardware tier |
A mismatched subscription tier can stall activation under the mandatory Smart Account |
|
Second power supply for full PoE load |
Confirm whether a second PWR-C5-600WAC is needed to reach the 740W expanded PoE budget |
Under-provisioning power leaves no headroom once PoE+ device count approaches full port density |
|
Stack kit inclusion |
C9200L-STACK-KIT is not included by default and must be ordered separately |
Omitting the stack kit blocks StackWise-80 stacking at installation |
|
Uplink optics |
Confirm 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ optics against the target platform’s supported list before order release |
The fixed 4x10G uplink ports accept either media, but the wrong optic class can be rejected by the host port |
