A branch access switch should deliver PoE for endpoints and stay manageable as the site grows. The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-24P-4G-M combines 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports and four 1G SFP uplinks with Meraki Dashboard cloud management. Hydrasat helps connect the hardware decision with Meraki licensing, network design, deployment and ongoing support options.

Cisco Catalyst C9200L-24P-4G-M product overview
Ports, PoE and uplinks for everyday endpoints
The C9200L-24P-4G-M provides 24 × 1 GbE RJ45 ports with full PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, up to 30 W per port) and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. With the default PWR-C5-600WAC power supply, Meraki lists a 370 W PoE budget; adding a matching secondary supply raises available PoE to 740 W. That capacity supports common PoE loads such as wireless access points, IP phones and network cameras—subject to each device’s power draw and the switch’s available budget.
Optional hardware stacking uses the C9200L-STAK-KIT-M (sold separately; stacking ports are not included by default). Meraki documents dedicated 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth for physical stacks. Switching capacity for this model is listed at 56 Gbps (136 Gbps with stacking).
Meraki cloud management and required licensing
The trailing -M marks this Catalyst 9200L as Meraki cloud-managed. Configuration, monitoring, firmware scheduling and remote diagnostics run through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard, with zero-touch provisioning for new sites.
A Meraki license is required for cloud operation and is not included with the hardware. Meraki offers 24-port Enterprise (LIC-C9200L-24E) and Advanced (LIC-C9200L-24A) licenses in 1-, 3- and 5-year terms; Advanced adds Adaptive Policy. Subscription licensing is also available. License tier and term should be selected for your organization model—they are quoted separately from the switch.
Design, deployment and next steps
Hydrasat provides more than the switch. Our design and implementation services help plan access-layer PoE, VLANs and uplinks around your existing environment. For businesses that want ongoing help, network operations services or managed Meraki access can be included in an agreed service plan. Hardware, licenses, deployment and ongoing management are specified in your proposal.
This switch pairs naturally with Meraki wireless and security appliances—see our posts on Meraki MR access points and Meraki MX security and SD-WAN.
