The Cisco Catalyst 9200 is Cisco's stackable access switch for branches and midsize campuses, in three forms: C9200 with modular uplinks, C9200L with fixed uplinks and the compact, fanless C9200CX. Every on-premises part number is below with the DNA or Catalyst subscription it is sold with.
The Cisco Catalyst 9200 is a stackable access switch for branches: C9200 (modular uplinks, StackWise-160), C9200L (fixed uplinks, StackWise-80) and compact C9200CX. Each is sold with Network Essentials or Advantage plus a mandatory 3, 5 or 7-year DNA or Catalyst subscription. Forever Systems, a Cisco Partner, can quote both together and install.

The -E or -A in each switch code is the Network Essentials or Network Advantage licence. Fibre and copper modules for the uplink ports are on Cisco SFP transceivers.
Not sure what you need?
Tell us about your sites and we will recommend the right kit and licences.
Every on-premises Catalyst 9200 is sold with its Network Stack licence (Essentials -E or Advantage -A, perpetual, in the hardware part number) plus a mandatory term subscription of the same tier: Cisco DNA (-DNA-) or Cisco Catalyst (-DNX-), for 3, 5 or 7 years. The codes are sized by switch (24-port, 48-port, C9200L or C9200CX), and our configurator offers only the ones that fit the switch you add. Cisco's ordering rules name no subscription code for the C9200CX-8PT-2G-E and C9200CX-8PT-2G-A, so for those two the licence is confirmed at quote. Cisco Networking Subscription is the newer alternative for Catalyst 9000, confirmed at quote. A Cisco Smart Account is mandatory; we can set one up for you.

These are Cisco's terms; anything beyond them is confirmed at quote.
How to order
How ordering works. Press Add next to a part number and it goes into your basket; where the hardware needs a subscription, you pick the tier and term in the same step. Add accessories, then View basket and Request a quote. We check every line, quantity and term against your plans and come back with a personalised quote by email. Nothing is charged online. We can also design, supply, stage, install and configure the switches as a project, with the scope confirmed at quote (see network installation).
Forever Systems can design, supply, stage, install and configure the network around the hardware you buy here, as a project or one step at a time.
Design: we look at your sites, users and existing kit and size the switches, wireless and firewalls to fit
Supply: every order gets a personalised quote by part number, with the subscriptions and support each product needs
Stage: we can pre-configure and label equipment before it reaches site
Install: we can rack and mount switches, access points and firewalls on site
Configure: VLANs, wireless, firewall policy, VPNs and management platforms set up and documented at handover
Scope is confirmed at quote, so you only pay for the parts of the project you need.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Catalyst 9200 and 9200L?
The C9200 has modular uplinks and StackWise-160 stacking; the C9200L has fixed uplinks and StackWise-80. The C9200CX is a compact fanless version that does not stack.
Which network modules fit the Catalyst 9200?
C9200-NM-4G (4 x 1G) and C9200-NM-4X (4 x 10G) fit the modular C9200 models; the C9200-NM-2Y (2 x 25G) and C9200-NM-2Q (2 x 40G) fit only the C9200-24PXG and C9200-48PXG.
Does the Catalyst 9200 need a DNA licence?
Yes. Cisco makes a DNA or Cisco Catalyst subscription (3, 5 or 7 years) mandatory with every on-premises Catalyst 9200, alongside the Network Essentials or Advantage licence in the part number.
What is the stacking bandwidth of the Catalyst 9200?
Up to 160 Gbps on C9200 models (StackWise-160) and 80 Gbps on C9200L models (StackWise-80), per Cisco's data sheet.
Where is the Catalyst 9200 data sheet?
Cisco's data sheet is linked in the vendor sources below; it lists every model, module and stacking option.
