Campus & Access Switching
Cisco campus and access switching platforms for enterprise edge, user access, PoE access, compact deployments and secure branch/campus switching refresh projects.
Procurement guidance
- - Start here for Catalyst access-layer refresh, PoE endpoint growth, closet switch replacement and standardized campus switching BOMs.
- - Confirm port count, uplink speed, PoE budget, Network Advantage/Essentials tier, DNA/Catalyst software term and stacking requirements before quote.
- - Separate hardware model, license entitlement and support coverage in RFQ notes so the buyer can compare new, refurbished and lifecycle options cleanly.

21Catalyst 9200 / 9200CX Series Access Switches
Enterprise access switches positioned for secure, resilient branch and campus access where buyers need standardized 1G, multigigabit, compact or PoE access switching.
- - Use this series for access closet and compact edge requests where Catalyst software tier, PoE budget and uplink modules determine the usable SKU.
- - Ask buyers to confirm required power supply, stack kit, uplink speed and license term rather than relying only on a short model string.

18Catalyst 9300 / 9300X Series Access Switches
Stackable enterprise campus switches for higher-density access, multigigabit access, advanced segmentation and campus fabric-ready switching projects.
- - Use this series when buyers specify enterprise access switching with stronger resiliency, stacking, UADP/Silicon One refresh paths or higher PoE/mGig needs.
- - Quote should confirm exact license suffix, uplink module, power redundancy and whether the requirement is hardware-only or hardware plus subscription.
