- Cisco IOS XE Software for automation and programmability
- Energy-efficient design with ENERGY STAR® certification available
Key Features
- 24 x 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports, 4 x modular uplink slots
- Support for IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W per port)
- Redundant power supply support with field-replaceable units (FRUs)
- Cisco StackWise-160 technology for scalable stacking
- Cisco IOS XE with model-driven programmability and RESTCONF/NETCONF
- SD-Access support for simplified network segmentation
- AES-128 MACsec encryption for secure communications
Core Technologies
The Catalyst 9200-24P-E leverages Cisco's UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC with an integrated CPU, enabling high-performance switching and advanced features. It supports a wide range of technologies including:
- IEEE 802.1AE MACsec for encryption
- IEEE 802.3at PoE+ for powered device support
- Cisco StackWise-160 for virtual stacking
- Cisco IOS XE for automation and telemetry
- Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for time synchronization
How It Works
The switch operates as an access layer device, connecting end-user devices and providing power via PoE+. It uses hardware-based forwarding through the UADP ASIC, ensuring low latency and high throughput. For management, it supports both traditional CLI and modern programmatic interfaces like NETCONF/YANG. In stacked configurations, multiple units operate as a single logical device with unified management.
Applications
- Enterprise campus access layer deployments
- Mid-market branch office networks
- Educational institutions and classrooms
- Healthcare environments for connected devices
- Retail and hospitality PoE-enabled installations

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum PoE power available?
A: With a single PWR-C6-600WAC power supply, the switch provides 370W PoE power. With an identical secondary power supply, this increases to 740W.
Q: Can this switch be stacked with other models?
A: Yes, it supports StackWise-160 technology and can be stacked with other C9200 models with the same license level, but not with C9200L or C9200CX models.
Q: Does it support SD-Access?
A: Yes, the Catalyst 9200-24P-E supports SD-Access with up to 4 Virtual Networks (VNs) and 25 fabric-enabled access points.
Q: What management options are available?
A: It can be managed via CLI, Cisco Catalyst Center, Meraki dashboard, or embedded WebUI.
Q: Is this switch ENERGY STAR certified?
A: The C9200-24P-E model itself is not ENERGY STAR certified, but several C9200L models in the series are certified.
Important Notes
- Ensure proper cooling and ventilation – operating temperature: -5°C to +45°C
- Use only compatible Cisco power supplies and modules
- For PoE calculations, consider both port density and power budget
- Verify software compatibility for specific features (IOS-XE 16.9.2 or later required)
- Follow local electrical and safety regulations during installation
