Cisco C9200L-24PXG-2Y-A 24-Port Multigigabit PoE+ Switch

C9200L-24PXG-2Y-A Port Identity

C9200L-24PXG-2Y-A combines eight multigigabit PoE+ access ports with sixteen 1G PoE+ ports in a 24-port Catalyst 9200L. Its 2Y suffix identifies two fixed 25G uplinks, while A identifies the Network Advantage license tier. These suffixes are procurement facts and should remain visible on a quote.

Where this 24-port layout fits

This model suits an access closet that needs a limited group of higher-speed copper connections for newer wireless access points or other multigigabit endpoints without making every access port multigigabit. Map the eight multigigabit ports to named endpoints and reserve the sixteen 1G ports for devices whose negotiated speed does not justify the higher-speed interfaces.

25G uplink acceptance

The two fixed uplinks use the 25G class rather than the four-port 10G arrangement found on a different C9200L PXG PID. Confirm the upstream switch interfaces, optics or direct-attach media, link distance and redundancy design before ordering. A 25G port label does not establish that an existing 10G optic or cable is supported.

PoE and power evidence

Build a port-level power worksheet from the endpoint's requested power class, cable route and startup behavior. Check the selected primary and optional redundant power supply against Cisco's current power tables. Do not treat the access-port count as proof that every port can deliver its maximum PoE load simultaneously.

License and stack boundary

This exact PID includes Network Advantage and supports StackWise-80. Record the ordered software subscription, Smart Account destination, IOS XE release and stack-member compatibility separately. The fixed-uplink and StackWise-80 design must not be confused with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 hardware.
