Technical Details
The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-24PXG-2Y-E is a Layer 3 managed 1U rackmount multigigabit switch with 24 PoE+ access ports, 8 of which are multigigabit ports (up to 10G) and 16 of which are 1G, plus two fixed 25G SFP28 uplinks, running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Essentials license. It provides a 370 W PoE+ budget, expandable to 740 W with a second power supply, to power devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, and IP cameras. Its switching capacity is 292 Gbps and its forwarding rate is 229.16 Mpps. It stacks with other Catalyst 9200L switches over Cisco StackWise-80 at 80 Gbps.
Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-24PXG-2Y-E is a fixed-configuration, 24-port multigigabit PoE+ access switch in the Cisco Catalyst 9200L series.
The Catalyst 9200L series uses fixed uplinks, fixed redundant fans, and Cisco StackWise-80 stacking, and runs Cisco IOS XE on the Cisco UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC. The C9200L-24PXG-2Y-E combines 8 multigigabit access ports (100 Mbps to 10 Gbps) with 16 Gigabit ports and two 25G SFP28 uplinks. With the Network Essentials license, it supports Layer 2 switching and routed access, including static routing, RIP, EIGRP stub, OSPF up to 1,000 routes, Policy-Based Routing, PIM stub multicast, VRRP, 802.1X, and MACsec-128 encryption.
Cisco positions the Catalyst 9200L as the successor to the end-of-sale Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR access switches.
Best For
The Cisco C9200L-24PXG-2Y-E suits access-layer deployments that need multigigabit ports for Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and 7 access points and other devices that exceed 1 Gbps, alongside standard Gigabit endpoints. Its 8 multigigabit ports support 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps over existing copper cabling, its 16 Gigabit ports serve standard endpoints, and its two 25G SFP28 uplinks connect to an aggregation or core layer. Its 370 W PoE+ budget (740 W with a second power supply) powers wireless access points, IP phones, and IP cameras; actual device counts depend on each powered device's power draw.
Not suitable if:
- You need more than 24 access ports.
- You need more than 8 multigigabit ports.
- You need advanced Layer 3 routing (full OSPF/EIGRP, IS-IS) or segmentation (VRF, SGT).
- You need 40G or 100G uplinks (the uplinks are 25G SFP28).
- You do not need multigigabit ports (a standard Gigabit PoE+ model covers a 1G-only access layer).
