C9200CX-12T only PD Port
C9200CX-12T only PD Port
The PD port on C9200CX-12T switches is a 802.3bt class 6 port capable of powering the switch. It can deliver
PoE power of 51W to power the switch as an alternative to the auxiliary power input. The PD power is mutually
exclusive from the auxiliary power input and power input takes priority when used.
USB Type A Port
The USB Type A port provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb drives or USB
keys).
The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB. USB devices with port
densities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported. Cisco IOS software provides standard
file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the ability to format the flash
device with a FAT file system.
It provides you with the ability to automatically upgrade the internal flash with the USB drive's configuration
and image for emergency switch recovery using USB auto-upgrade. This feature checks the internal flash for
a bootable image and configuration and if either image or the configuration is not available, then the USB
drive is checked for boot images and configuration. If the boot image and configuration are available, these
are copied to flash for the reboot.
USB Micro-B Port
The USB Micro-B port on the front panel that provides administrative access to the switch through a console
terminal or a PC. It allows you to use a PC, Mac, or Linux machine with the appropriate drivers to connect
to the USB micro Type-B port and gain access to the console port on the switch.
Alternatively, if you want to access the console using an RJ45 connection, you must use the Cisco USB
micro-B to RJ45 adapter.
SD Card Slot
Cisco Catalyst 9200CX compact switches support an SD (Secure Digital) Card that extends the onboard flash
storage memory on the switch.
The SD card can be used instead of the internal flash memory of the switch to update or restore configuration
settings. Additionally, the SD card can be used to boot the switch. You can boot a switch from its internal
flash memory or from an SD card; SD card takes precedence over internal flash memory. You can also copy
IOS software and switch configuration settings from a PC or from the switch to the SD card, and then use the
SD card to copy this software and settings to other switches.
You can access an SD card using the switch boot loader or the command prompt.
