Description

The Cisco C9200L-STACK-KIT is a stacking module designed exclusively for the Cisco Catalyst 9200L Series switches. It enables the stacking of up to 8 switches, providing a unified management plane and increased network resiliency.

🔧 Key Features

• Stacking Technology: Utilizes Cisco StackWise-80 technology, offering 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth.

• Stack Capacity: Supports stacking of up to 8 switches.

• Included Components:

  • Two StackWise-80 modules.

  • One 50 cm copper stacking cable (STACK-T4-50CM).

• Software Requirement: Requires Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.1.1 or later.

• Compatibility: Only compatible with Cisco Catalyst 9200L Series switches. Stacking is not supported on C9200 and C9200CX models. Mixed stacking with other Catalyst switches is not supported due to differing stacking bandwidths

⚠️ Important Considerations

• Model Compatibility: Ensure that all switches in the stack are from the 9200L Series.

• Stacking Bandwidth: The 9200L Series supports 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth, while the standard 9200 Series supports 160 Gbps. Mixing these models in a stack is not supported.

✅ Installation Overview

1. Insert Stack Modules: Place the StackWise-80 modules into the dedicated stacking ports on the rear of the Catalyst 9200L switches.

2. Connect Stacking Cable: Use the provided 50 cm copper stacking cable to connect the stacking ports between two switches.

3. Configure Stacking: Access the switch’s command-line interface and use the stack and switch commands to configure the stack.

4. Add Additional Members: To add more switches to the stack, repeat the process by connecting them similarly via stacking cables.
