The Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are 5G-ready cloud edge platforms designed for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), multilayer security, and cloud-native agility to accelerate your journey to cloud.
The Cisco® Catalyst® 8200 Series Edge Platforms with Cisco IOS® XE SD-WAN software deliver Cisco’s secure, cloud-scale SD-WAN solution for the small branch. The platforms are purpose-built for performance and integrated SD-WAN services along with flexibility to deliver security and networking services together from the cloud or on premises. They have a wide variety of interface options to choose from, with backward compatibility to existing WAN, LAN, and voice modules. Powered by Cisco IOS XE, a fully programmable software architecture, and API support, the Catalyst 8200 Series can facilitate automation at scale to achieve zero-touch IT capability while migrating workloads to the cloud. The platforms also come with a trustworthy solutions 2.0 infrastructure that secures them against threats and vulnerabilities through advanced integrity verification and remediation of threats.
The 8200 Series is well suited for small and medium-sized enterprise branch offices at optimal price/performance with integrated SD-WAN services.
The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are offered in two models: C8200L-1N-4T for the small branch with SASE-compliant, cloud-based security requirements, and C8200-1N-4T for the small to medium-sized branch with requirements for higher throughput, scale, and service flexibility. In addition to supporting SASE-compliant cloud-based security services, the C8200-1N-4T also delivers a flexible system of best-in-class, on-premises security services through container-based apps, using Cisco’s third-party ecosystem.

Accelerated services with Cisco Software-Defined WAN
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN is a set of intelligent software services that allow you to connect users, devices, and branch office locations reliably and securely across a diverse set of WAN transport links. The Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms Family can dynamically route traffic across the “best” link based on up-to-the-minute application and network conditions for great application experiences. With Catalyst SD-WAN you get tight control over application performance, bandwidth usage, data privacy, and availability of your WAN links. This control is critical as branches conduct greater volumes of mission-critical business using both on-premises and cloud controllers.
Application performance optimization
Ensure that SD-WAN networks meet Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) and maintain strong performance, even if network problems occur. With branch multicloud access, you can accelerate your Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications with a simple template push from the SD-WAN controller. Features such as TCP optimization, Forward Error Correction (FEC), and packet duplication enhance application performance for a better user experience.
Multilayer security
You can now move your traditional and complex WAN networks into an agile, software-defined WAN with integrated security. The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms connect branch offices to the internet and cloud with industry-leading protection against major web attacks. Secure Direct Internet Access (DIA) from the branches helps optimize branch workloads for improved performance, specifically for cloud-hosted applications. At the same time, secure DIA helps ensure that your branch is protected from external threats.
Application visibility
Applications and users are more distributed than ever, and the internet has effectively become the new enterprise WAN. As organizations continue to embrace internet, cloud, and SaaS, network and IT teams are challenged to deliver consistent and reliable connectivity and application performance over networks and services they don’t own or directly control.
The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are integrated with Cisco ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence. IT managers now have expanded visibility, including hop-by-hop analytics, into network underlay, proactive monitoring of SD-WAN overlay, and performance measurement of SaaS applications. This granular visibility ultimately lowers the Mean Time to Identification of Issues (MTTI) and accelerates resolution time.
Unified communications
The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms offer rich voice services in both SD-WAN and traditional Cisco IOS XE software feature stacks. Cisco is the only SD-WAN vendor to natively integrate analog and digital IP directly into single Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), reducing CapEx and OpEx. In SD-WAN mode, the Catalyst 8200 Series also helps prevent internal and external outages with Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), enabling branch routers to assume the role of call control PBX for telephony survivability. They also continue to support a long list of traditional Cisco IOS XE voice use cases such as Cisco Unified Boarder Element (CUBE) Session Border Controller (SBC), Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME), Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), ISDN, and voice over IP.
Cloud-native agility with a programmable software architecture
Cisco continues to offer a feature-rich traditional Cisco IOS XE routing stack on the Catalyst 8200 Series. IP routing, IPsec, QoS, firewall, NAT, Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR), Flexible NetFlow (FNF), and many other features are part of Cisco IOS XE, a fully programmable software architecture with API support and a wide variety of protocols and configurations. With an integrated software image and a single binary file, you can now choose between Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN and Cisco IOS XE. And you can easily move from one to the other when you choose to do so.
5G-ready
The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are built for high-speed Cat18 LTE and 5G networks. With the higher throughputs from Cat18 LTE and 5G, wireless WAN solutions are becoming feasible options for primary transport use cases. These platforms supports both integrated pluggable modules as well as external Cellular Gateways with Cat18 LTE and 5G capability for improved throughput that addresses those use cases. An integrated PIM module or external Cellular Gateway can be chosen based on a specific branch’s cellular coverage, or work in tandem forming a high-availability Active-Active cellular WAN solution
Interface flexibility
Layer 2 (Switched) and Layer 3 (Routed) ports
The Catalyst 8200 Series continues Cisco’s support for a flexible single-box solution with both switching and routing for a small branch. Layer 2 NIM modules provides 4- and 8-port switching with PoE capability and NIM based Layer 3 port modules provides extended Layer 3 port density in addition to the four embedded Layer 3 ports
Voice modules
The Catalyst 8200 Series continues Cisco’s support for a variety of voice modules for the different voice needs at the branch. Voice module examples include Foreign Exchange Station (FXS), Foreign Exchange Office (FXO), Digital Signal Processor (DSP), etc.
