Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches
- Catalyst 9200 Series
We began deploying Catalyst 9200 switching platform as Access Layer switching in our regional offices of various sizes (50-150 users) and smaller branches with up to 20 users. They are used in L2 and L3 configurations to support user's connectivity to corporate network.
- Support high user density.
- Provide multi-protocol support.
- Depending on model, have support for various interface capacities.
- Number of models come with fixed port configuration.
- Support for PoE uses various templates, depending on models used.
- Limited stacking sizing.
- They are fairly price effective.
- As some models are not compatible within the same stack careful planning required.
- They support power and stack redundancy.
As we currently don't have DNA infrastructure and support the platform from 3rd party NMS system, not all advanced virtualization and automation features are used.
Again, we are in the process of planning deployment of Cisco DNA infrastructure that will allow us to use enhanced management and reporting capabilities. At this time standard SNMP tools are being used.
They provide comparable performance but are still lacking some support features.
But they are better from price point view, significantly reducing cost of ownership.
