- Ports (breakdown): 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 (non-PoE) + 4 x 1G SFP uplink ports
- PoE Budget: N/A (data-only model, no PoE; the PoE+ variant is C9200L-24P-4G-E)

- Stacking support: Not confirmed by an official Cisco datasheet; reseller listings cite 80 Gbps stack bandwidth, which is unverified
Curation Review
- ✔ Pros: Low-cost, 24-port managed Gigabit access switch with a perpetual Network Essentials license; Layer 3 capable for basic IP routing without a higher-tier license; Non-blocking 56 Gbps switching capacity suits typical access-layer traffic; 4 x 1G SFP uplinks allow fiber or copper uplinks to distribution switches; Part of the Catalyst 9200L family, which supports Cisco DNA Center management and IOS XE features
- ✘ Cons: No PoE, so it cannot power APs, IP phones, or cameras (requires the -24P variant); Uplinks are 1G only, which is limiting for modern aggregation compared with 10G SFP+ models; Stacking support and stack bandwidth are not confirmed from an official source; Advanced L3 features such as full dynamic routing protocols need the Network Advantage license; Specs and prices come from reseller listings and should be checked against Cisco's official Catalyst 9200 data sheet
- Est. Price: $887 - $1,746
