Cisco C9200-24PXG-A Switch

Key Features of the Cisco C9200-24PXG-A

Multi-Gigabit Performance and Advanced Power Delivery

The C9200-24PXG-A delivers exceptional performance through its 8 multi-gigabit ports supporting speeds up to 10G and 16 standard Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing flexible downlink options to meet diverse network requirements. This switch features a maximum PoE budget of 740W, enabling full PoE+ capability across all 24 ports to power high-demand devices including Wi-Fi 6 access points, IP cameras, and collaboration tools. The mGig operational efficiency enables customers to maximize their existing cabling infrastructure while supporting bandwidth-intensive applications. The C9200 24PXG A leverages UADP ASIC technology with integrated CPU to deliver optimized scale and better cost structure for enterprise campus deployments.

Enterprise-Grade Resiliency and Redundancy

Built with differentiated resiliency in mind, the C9200-24PXG-A offers enterprise-level reliability through field replaceable units including redundant power supply options and fan redundancy. The switch supports dual field-replaceable power supplies, with each switch shipping with one default power supply and the option to add a second identical power supply for redundancy or additional PoE power. Supporting stacking capabilities up to 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth, organizations can create resilient network architectures while maintaining operational efficiency. The modular uplinks provide flexible connectivity options, and the internal fixed power supply design ensures consistent power delivery for mission-critical applications.

Intent-Based Networking and Security Excellence

The Cisco Catalyst 9200 switch extends the power of intent-based networking through deep integration with Cisco DNA Center and enhanced security features. The platform supports policy-based automation, AES-128 MACsec encryption, and trustworthy solutions for comprehensive network protection. Integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine enables simplified operations through policy-based segmentation and access control lists, while streaming telemetry capabilities provide advanced network monitoring and network assurance. The C9200-24PXG-A delivers security features that protect the integrity of hardware, software innovation, and all data flowing through the network.

Simplified Network Management and Future-Ready Architecture

Designed as foundational building blocks for the Cisco Digital Network Architecture, the C9200-24PXG-A helps customers simplify complexity and reduce operational costs through intelligent automation. The switch features Cisco IOS XE operating system with model-driven programmability support and open APIs for streamlined campus device rollouts. Cloud managed capabilities through Cisco DNA Center enable template based provisioning and policy based automation, while supporting stacking allows for simplified operations across multiple switches. The programmable pipeline and UADP ASIC technology provide investment protection for future innovations while maintaining superior features compared to other vendor solutions.
