Cisco Catalyst 9200 - the next generation access layer
- Catalyst 9200 Series
We use them on client sites at the access layer devices, primarily for user PCs, phones and normal peripherals such as wireless access points. As they support POE+ we can power devices such as the latest access points. They are stackable and I like the fact there are two different stack options depending on whether you choose the modular or 9200L versions.
- Access layer
- Redundant power
- Support with the network essential license level
- Being able to stack different models together
These devices are definitely suited and built with the functionality for those companies that are beginning the software-defined journey. Although we are not using Cisco DNA Center currently it certainly makes sense to purchase these devices now so that we are ready to begin this journey. I do think that we are a couple of years away from this at the moment.

New Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches rock
- Catalyst 2960 X/XR Series
- Catalyst 9200 Series
We are using Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches for access switches in a factory and office environment across the company. It can also serve to give a network to printers and access points on the PoE switches. We are using our stack to distribute a huge amount of network access to the users. This way, it's easy to manage, upgrade, and it's more scalable.
- Ease of use.
- PoE performance.
- The hardware is faulty sometimes (faulty stack cable is generating errors on the switch).
- There are too many bugs in the new version.
We just started to use the DNA center in our lab environment. With the new IOS XE devices, and especially the last switches that are using the DNA center license, it seems to be a very good approach to manage inventory, configuration templates, IOS image management, and so on.
We don't have the ability yet to use the full DNA center with assurance and so on, but it seems to be very promising, as I've seen on some Demos.

Yes - I now think than the upgrade of the new Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches is much more smooth and efficient compared to the previous update with the 2960X switch series.
Indeed, the upgrade itself is much faster, so the downtime for the user is minimum compared to what it used to be in the past.

- Catalyst 9200 Series
We are currently using the Cisco Catalyst 9200 switches as our access layer switch. We have plans on sometime down the road utilizing the capability of these switches to support Security Group Tags for Cisco Identity Services Engine. Although we are not currently using these switches for this purpose, this hardware is fully capable to provide both the throughput and user port density that we need at the access layer.
- Provide density of ports for access layer.
- Provides reliability so that managment of the device is minimal.
- Provides PoE Plus to support the newer Cisco AP models.
- Not a huge fan of the licensing model.
- A bit pricey for an access layer switch.
- Would like some IoT functionality built in.

A new cheaper version of the 9300 that can save you some money
- Catalyst 9200 Series
After a couple of months of testing, we decided to change our hardware standard from 9300 to 9200 switches for the LAN side. Usually every 4-5 years, we change all the catalysts in the entire organization. At the moment we use 3850/9300 and just started the installation process of the new 9200. As access layer
switches, we use them to connect users.
switches, we use them to connect users.
- Stacking is still one of the biggest advantages for this series of catalyst.
- With basic configuration, they are quite stable. So you can apply the configuration and forget about them.
- They are quite new, so it's rather easy to find bugs in early firmware versions.
- The price is still too high for just an access switch.
SD-Access is "included" in the 9200 license, but we don't use it since the entire ecosystem is really expensive and not mature. I hope that Cisco will decrease the price list and provide a better and [more] robust solution in the future. You will hear from Cisco sales reps a lot of good things about that, but this is the usual way of Cisco to push for what they want to sell.

Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches Review
- Catalyst 9300 Series
The Cisco 9200 has solved our HA requirements very easily, with the VSL all the task to deliver ports, configuration service delivery, and support for operations. We are waiting for our first upgrade, but we expect it to be simple and fast. I had the opportunity to upgrade a pair of switches at the Cisco Live, and experienced almost zero downtime.
- Virtual stack link, configuration always with HA
- Port channels
- Enterprise switch solutions for a critital network
- More frequent versions and improvement
- The reload without XFSO is very slow
Currently we are working with a 9200 VSL cluster and all the operations are running smoothly. There are no upgrades at the moment, but we are enjoying the capabilities and the HA requirements. It's a great switch, better than other brands and with Cisco is guaranteed to be great.

Great reliable switches with the ability to scale
- Catalyst 9200 Series
We are using these switches in our warehouse in some elevated IDF's. We have large quantities of patch panel ports that need to be connected so we went with the 48 port switches. We have full POE switches so we can power phones , APs, and any other device that needs to be powered. We needed to have a switch that can be data stacked with high port capacity and is reasonably priced since it was going into our warehouse.
- They can be data stacked which is a huge plus when needing multiple switches in a cabinet.
- These switches are able to do POE on every port which is great so we can plug any device into the switch POE or not and it will work for that device.
- It has a network modular slot where you can add a copper or fiber modular and they have an option for port count too. It is nice to have options so you can get the right port for the deployment.
- They are always coming out with patches and updates. Seems like every month we are being contacted to upgrade.
- These can be pretty expensive.
We love how these switches can scale. When you need more port density all you have to do is add another switch to the switch stack and it will join the switch stack and you can then configure the interfaces.

Cisco is doing a great job, on the sw and hw delivery and support... The catalyst product gives the customer confidence and stability..We feel very safe in using it... keep the good job...
- Easy installation. I personally recently installed around 60 Cisco Catalyst switches. The IT department is very happy with it...all easy and no outages.
- Power consumption wire closet. We recently changed around 60 Catalysts and we didn't have to change our power system. Very stable the switches and low power consumption...
- Low fan noise...stable and good cooling system. We lost a.c. on our close but the stack is still working for long hours and did not lose connection.
- Excellent team support
- More intelligences...
- More storage capacity
