technologies
Technology
The Catalyst 9200L-48P-4X-A leverages Cisco's UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC
with an integrated CPU, enabling high-performance switching and
advanced features. It supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ for powering
devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and IoT endpoints.
The switch runs on Cisco IOS XE, providing a programmable,
automated, and secure operating system. Key technologies include:
- IEEE 802.3at PoE+
- IEEE 802.1AE MACsec encryption
- Cisco StackWise-80 for stacking up to 8 units
- RESTCONF/NETCONF for API-driven automation
- Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for time synchronization
Working Principle
The switch operates at the network access layer, connecting end
devices and providing uplinks to distribution or core layers. It
uses hardware-based forwarding to process traffic at line rate,
with QoS mechanisms prioritizing critical applications. PoE+ power
is dynamically allocated to connected devices, ensuring efficient
power management. The switch can be managed via CLI, web UI, or
cloud platforms, offering flexibility in operation and monitoring.
Applications
The Catalyst 9200L-48P-4X-A is ideal for:
- Enterprise campus networks
- Branch office deployments
- Educational institutions
- Healthcare facilities for powering medical devices
- Retail environments supporting POS systems and cameras
- IoT deployments with powered sensors and devices
