Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What multigigabit capabilities does the Cisco Catalyst 9200 provide?
A: The Cisco Catalyst 9200 multigigabit switch features 24 ports that auto-negotiate speeds from 100 Mbps up to 10 Gbps, including 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds. This multigigabit ethernet capability ensures optimal performance for Wi-Fi 6 access points, high-resolution cameras, and bandwidth-intensive applications while leveraging existing Cat 5e/6 cabling infrastructure.
Q: How does the PoE+ support benefit educational and enterprise deployments?
A: With 740W total PoE+ power budget, this switch can power multiple high-power devices including Wi-Fi 6 access points, IP phones, security cameras, and IoT devices. The PoE+ technology supports both 802.3at (30W) and 802.3bt (60W+) standards, eliminating the need for separate power infrastructure and reducing installation complexity in educational environments.
Q: What Layer 3 managed features enhance network performance and security?
A: The L3 managed switch provides advanced routing protocols including OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, along with comprehensive security features like Cisco TrustSec, MACsec 256-bit encryption, and 802.1X authentication. These capabilities enable network segmentation, policy enforcement, and secure inter-VLAN communication essential for campus and enterprise networks.
Q: How does the stackable architecture provide scalability and redundancy?
A: The stackable switch design uses Cisco StackWise-480 technology to connect up to 8 units as a single logical switch with 480 Gbps stack bandwidth. This stackable architecture provides unified management, automatic failover, and seamless expansion while maintaining consistent policies across the entire stack infrastructure.
Q: What Cisco security benefits protect educational and enterprise networks?
A: Advanced Cisco security features include Software-Defined Segmentation with TrustSec, encrypted communications with MACsec, and integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). These security capabilities provide zero-trust network access, automated threat response, and compliance reporting essential for protecting sensitive educational and business data.
Q: How does SD-Access readiness future-proof this networking investment?
A: The switch is SD-Access ready, supporting Cisco's intent-based networking architecture that automates network provisioning, policy enforcement, and troubleshooting. This prepares educational institutions and enterprises for software-defined networking transformation while maintaining compatibility with existing network infrastructure and management practices.
Q: What makes the EDU model specifically suited for educational environments?
A: The C9200-24PXG-EDU model offers special educational pricing and licensing terms specifically designed for academic institutions. This includes simplified licensing, extended warranty options, and integration with educational network management platforms, making advanced networking technology more accessible for schools, colleges, and universities.
