Cisco C9200L-48T-4G-E | Catalyst 9200L 48-Port Gigabit Switch, 4x 1G SFP, Network Essentials

Q: Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: No, the C9200L-48T-4G-E is a data-only switch and does not support PoE. For PoE requirements, consider the C9200L-48P series models.

Q: What license tier is included with this switch?
A: The switch comes with Network Essentials licensing, which includes foundational Layer 3 routing (OSPF Routed Access), MACsec encryption, and advanced security features. Network Advantage licensing is available as an upgrade for additional capabilities.

Q: Can this switch be stacked with other Catalyst 9200 models?
A: Yes, the C9200L-48T-4G-E supports StackWise-80 technology with 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth, allowing up to 8 switches to be managed as a single virtual switch. However, C9200L (fixed) models cannot be stacked with C9200 (modular) or C9200CX (compact) models.

Q: What is the difference between this model and the C9200L-48T-4X-E?
A: The primary difference is uplink speed. The C9200L-48T-4G-E has 4x 1G SFP uplinks, while the C9200L-48T-4X-E features 4x 10G SFP+ uplinks for higher-bandwidth applications. Both run Network Essentials and have 48 Gigabit data ports.

Q: Is this switch suitable as a replacement for Catalyst 2960-X switches?
A: Yes, the C9200L-48T-4G-E is the direct modern replacement for end-of-life Catalyst 2960-X 48-port data switches, offering the same port density and form factor with upgraded IOS XE operating system, enhanced security features, and improved stacking performance.
