Cisco C9200L-48PL-4G-A | Catalyst 9200L 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, 370W, 4x 1G SFP

Q: What is the difference between partial PoE+ and full PoE+ on this switch?
A: The C9200L-48PL-4G-A offers partial PoE+ capability with a 370W budget from the default power supply, meaning not all 48 ports can simultaneously deliver the full 30W PoE+ power. With an optional secondary PWR-C5-600WAC power supply, the total PoE budget increases to 740W for more comprehensive PoE deployment across ports.

Q: Can this switch be stacked with other Catalyst 9200 models?
A: The C9200L-48PL-4G-A can only be stacked with other C9200L fixed models running the same license level using the optional C9200L-STACK-KIT. Mixed stacking with modular C9200 models or other Catalyst series switches is not supported. Stacking provides up to 80 Gbps bandwidth and supports up to 8 switches in a stack.

Q: What is included with the Network Advantage license?
A: Network Advantage licensing provides advanced Layer 3 routing protocols including OSPF, EIGRP, ISIS, policy-based routing, and full SD-Access fabric edge capabilities. It also includes advanced security features like MACsec encryption, network segmentation, and full integration with Cisco DNA Center for automation and assurance.

Q: Is this switch suitable for supporting wireless access points?
A: Yes, the C9200L-48PL-4G-A is ideal for powering wireless access points with its PoE+ capability supporting 802.3at standard. The 370W budget can power approximately 12 access points at full 30W each, or more at lower power levels. For larger deployments, adding a secondary power supply increases capacity to 740W.

Q: Does this model support Cisco DNA Center management?
A: Yes, the C9200L-48PL-4G-A with Network Advantage licensing fully supports Cisco DNA Center for centralized network management, automation, and assurance. It includes support for model-driven programmability, streaming telemetry, and Plug and Play provisioning for simplified deployment and ongoing operations.
