Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches-gray

The Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series is a modern family of enterprise-class stackable access switches designed for secure, scalable, and resilient network infrastructure. As part of Cisco’s intent-based networking portfolio, the 9200 Series brings enterprise-grade Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, cloud readiness, and advanced security to campus and branch access networks.

Built with modular uplinks and powered by Cisco’s Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) 2.0 Mini ASIC, the Catalyst 9200 offers high performance, energy efficiency, and simplicity. It supports stacking with StackWise-160 (or StackWise-80 depending on the model), enabling up to 160 Gbps of stack bandwidth, and offers both PoE+ and Perpetual PoE to support connected devices like IP phones, access points, and IoT sensors.

Key features include:

Full Layer 3 support with OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and multicast routing

Security features like 802.1X, MACsec encryption, DHCP snooping, and TrustSec

SD-Access readiness, enabling policy-based automation through Cisco DNA Center

Cisco StackWise technology for high availability and scalability

Modular uplink options: 1G, 10G, or 25G depending on model

Energy efficiency with Cisco EnergyWise and fanless models for quiet deployments

Cloud-managed options via Cisco DNA Center and support for software-defined access (SD-Access)

The Catalyst 9200 Series is an ideal upgrade path from older Catalyst 2960-X and 3650 Series switches, offering enhanced performance, security, and manageability for today’s digital and cloud-connected enterprises.
