1 Catalyst 9200 standalone and stack can support 25 Access Tunnels for fabric enabled APs.
Catalyst 9200CX can support 25 Access Tunnels for fabric enabled APs with IOS-XE 17.9.5 and above.
Catalyst 9200L is not supported as Fabric Edge for SD-Access Wireless.
Catalyst 9200, 9200L and 9200CX do not support SD-Access Embedded Wireless Controller.
Note: Over the top fabric deployments eventually migrating to fabric wireless architecture should consider this limit during
design/deployment.
2 C9200-24PB-A, C9200-48PB-A SKUs supports 32 Virtual Networks. These SKUs cannot be stacked with C9200 SKUs with 4VNs.
