Cisco C9200l-24T-4G-E – Catalyst 9200l 24-Port Data Only, Base Switch

The Cisco C9200L-24T-4G-E, as it happens, is yet another model within the Cisco Catalyst 9200L Series of fixed uplink switches. Consequently, it shares many characteristics with the previously discussed C9200L-24T-4X-E, but with a crucial difference, namely, in its uplink capabilities.

To elaborate, here’s a breakdown of the model name and its key features, particularly highlighting the distinction:

Firstly, “C9200L,” as before, indicates it’s part of the Catalyst 9200L series, thereby signifying fixed uplink models. Secondly, “24T” means it has 24 x 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) data ports, specifically for copper twisted-pair connections. Crucially, “4G” is the primary difference; this means it denotes 4 x 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1G) SFP fixed uplinks. In stark contrast, this is different from the “4X” in C9200L-24T-4X-E, which designates 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G) SFP+ uplinks. Finally, “E” signifies that it comes with Network Essentials software, thus providing foundational Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 features.

In terms of connectivity, it offers 24 x 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) data ports and, importantly, 4 x 1G SFP fixed uplinks.

Pertaining to scalability, it supports StackWise-80 for stacking bandwidth up to 80 Gbps. However, like all 9200L models, it cannot be stacked with modular (C9200) models. Concerning power, it comes with a default primary AC power supply (PWR-C5-125WAC) and additionally supports redundant power supply options. Moreover, fans are fixed and redundant. Regarding memory, it has 2 GB DRAM and 4 GB Flash. Physically, its dimensions are approximately 1.73 x 17.5 x 11.3 inches, making it a 1U rack-mountable device.

On the security front, it includes advanced security features, such as AES-128 MACsec encryption, policy-based segmentation, and trustworthy systems.

Therefore, the C9200L-24T-4G-E is a cost-effective solution for organizations that require a reliable access layer switch for their branch offices or smaller enterprise networks, specifically in scenarios where:
