C9200-NW-4G Power supplies
The Cisco Catalyst C9200-NW-4G switch supports field-replaceable and hot-swappable power supply modules, offering flexibility and redundancy for enterprise deployments.
Power Supply features
- Dual Power Supply Slots: Most C9200 switches support two field‑replaceable AC power supplies for redundancy. If one fails, the other can take over.
- Redundant PoE Capacity: With two PSUs in full PoE models, the available PoE budget nearly doubles (for example, from ~370 W with one PSU to ~740 W with two in certain 24‑port PoE models).
- Autoranging Input: AC power supplies are autoranging (100‑240 VAC, 50‑60 Hz) so they work across varied power conditions.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Support
Both switches support PoE, allowing them to power connected devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without the need for additional power sources. This feature enhances flexibility and simplifies network deployment, particularly in environments where power outlets are limited.
Stacking
Stacking the Cisco Catalyst C9200-NW-4G switch allows multiple switches to operate as a single unit, simplifying management and enhancing redundancy. This model supports StackWise-160 technology, offering up to 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. It involves;
- Stacking Ports & Cables: Use StackWise cables to connect the switches via their dedicated stacking ports.
- Master Election: One switch becomes the stack master, controlling the configuration and management.
- Unified Configuration: All switches share a single configuration file, making updates and monitoring easier.
- High Availability: If one switch fails, others continue functioning without disruption.
Stacking Requirements
- Same model family: Only other Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches can be stacked with the C9200-NW-4G.
- License level match: All switches in the stack must run the same license level (e.g., Network Advantage).
- Compatible software: Ensure all switches are running compatible IOS XE versions.
- Stacking cables: Use Cisco-approved StackWise-160 cables to connect the switches via their StackWise ports.
Fan
The Cisco Catalyst C9200-NW-4G. switch uses field-replaceable fan modules designed for redundancy and hot-swapping, ensuring high availability and cooling efficiency.
Fan Module Details
- Redundancy: The switch uses two fan modules in an N+1 configuration. If one fan fails, the other can maintain cooling to prevent overheating.
- Hot-Swappable: You can remove and replace a fan module while the switch is running. Just make sure to replace it within 5 minutes to avoid thermal issues.
- LED Indicator: A green LED lights up when the fan is operating correctly
Compatibility
- The C9200-NW-4G is part of the Catalyst 9200 Series, which supports redundant fans and modular uplinks for enhanced flexibility and uptime
