C8200-1N-4T Overview
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 the cloud. The 8200 Series is well
suited for small and medium-sized enterprise branch offices at optimal
price/performance with integrated SD-WAN services. 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.

Overall platform benefits
• Accelerated services with Cisco Software-Defined WAN
Cisco 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
Cisco 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
multi-cloud 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.
• 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 future 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 will support both integrated pluggable modules as well as external
cellular gateways with Cat18 LTE and 5G capability for improved throughput
that addresses those use cases. Either an integrated or external gateway can
be chosen based on a specific branch’s cellular coverage.
