Questions & Answers

What is the Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series?

The Catalyst 8200 is Cisco's branch-office edge platform for SD-WAN and traditional routing, succeeding the ISR 4300 Series. It combines WAN routing, integrated security, and cloud management in a compact 1RU chassis.

What replaced the Cisco ISR 4300 Series?

The Catalyst 8200 Series (and 8200L) is the direct successor to the ISR 4300, offering higher performance, SD-WAN readiness, and support for Cisco DNA and Catalyst SD-WAN subscriptions.

What is the difference between the C8200 and C8200L?

The C8200 delivers higher aggregate throughput and more service capacity, while the C8200L is a lower-cost, lower-throughput Lite version for smaller branches. Both share the same architecture and modules.

Does the Catalyst 8200 support SD-WAN?

Yes. The 8200 runs Cisco IOS XE and can operate in autonomous mode for traditional routing or controller mode for Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN (formerly Viptela) with centralized orchestration.

What modules does the Catalyst 8200 support?

It supports NIM and SM-X modules for LTE and 5G cellular, T1/E1, serial, switch ports, and voice (PVDM4), protecting existing ISR module investments in many cases.

What licensing does the Catalyst 8200 use?

The 8200 uses Cisco DNA subscription licensing (Essentials, Advantage, Premier) layered on network-stack perpetual licenses, covering SD-WAN, security, and analytics features.

How much throughput does the Catalyst 8200 provide?

Performance scales by model and license, with aggregate forwarding up to several Gbps with services enabled, which is significantly higher than the ISR 4300 it replaces.

Does the Catalyst 8200 include security features?

Yes. Integrated capabilities include zone-based firewall, IPsec VPN, Cisco Umbrella integration, and optional UTD with Snort IPS under the appropriate DNA license.
