We keep seeing the same access-layer refresh go wrong, and it's almost never the bandwidth.

Someone buys a 24-port PoE switch, plugs in 24 access points, IP cameras and phones, and a few weeks later ports start dropping. Switch gets RMA'd. Turns out the box was fine — the PoE power budget just couldn't feed everything at once.

Port count and PoE budget are two different numbers. A lot of 24-port PoE switches can't deliver full PoE+ on all 24 simultaneously. That's the spec that actually bites you.

If you're refreshing off 2960X, the C9200L-24P-4G-E is the one people tend to land on: 24× PoE+ downlinks, 4× 1G SFP uplinks, IOS-XE Network Essentials. It's an access-layer box — not a 9300, so you're not paying for aggregation-class features you won't use at the edge.

Main thing: size the PoE budget to what you'll actually plug in, with headroom, before you order. APs and PTZ cameras add up fast.
