C9200L-48T-4X-E Key Features
This section covers the standout capabilities that distinguish this switch as a cost-effective solution for standard business networks.
Port Configuration and Connectivity
The C9200L-48T-4X-E provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet data ports for connecting workstations, printers, servers, and other non-powered network devices. The four fixed 10G SFP+ uplink ports deliver high-speed backbone connectivity, preventing bottlenecks when aggregating traffic from 48 users. These 10G uplinks support both 10G and 1G SFP+ modules, providing flexibility for various fiber and copper connectivity requirements.
High-Speed 10G Uplink Architecture
The fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks represent the most distinctive feature of this model, ensuring that aggregate traffic from high-density user groups does not create congestion at the network core. This architecture supports large file transfers, multimedia streaming, and backup operations without performance degradation. Organizations upgrading from 1G to 10G infrastructure benefit from a future-proof path that accommodates growing bandwidth demands.
Enterprise-Grade Security
The C9200L-48T-4X-E incorporates comprehensive security features including 802.1X port-based authentication for user and device verification, DHCP Snooping to prevent rogue DHCP servers from distributing invalid IP addresses, and Dynamic ARP Inspection to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks. Port Security limits MAC addresses per port to prevent unauthorized device connections. Additional protections include IP Source Guard, storm control, and 1,500 ACL scale entries. These security measures benefit organizations in corporate environments, educational institutions, and any deployment where data protection and network integrity are essential.
Simplified Network Management
Administrators can manage the C9200L-48T-4X-E through multiple interfaces including an intuitive web-based GUI, traditional command-line interface, or SNMP for integration with existing network management platforms. The switch supports Cisco DNA Center for centralized management and automation. Cisco IOS XE software provides a familiar operational environment with extensive automation capabilities through NETCONF, RESTCONF, and YANG data models. StackWise-80 technology enables management of up to eight stacked switches through a single IP address.
Layer 2 Switching and Traffic Management
The C9200L-48T-4X-E delivers 176 Gbps switching capacity with a forwarding rate of 130.95 Mpps, ensuring wire-speed performance across all ports. The switch supports 4,096 VLANs with 512 Switched Virtual Interfaces, 16,000 MAC addresses, and comprehensive QoS with 1,000 scale entries for traffic prioritization. Spanning Tree Protocol support includes MST for flexible network topologies. The 6MB packet buffer maintains performance during traffic bursts.
