The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series is ideal for:

– Deploying cost-effective wired connectivity in traditional desktop workspace environments
– Implementing quality of service (QoS) to provide priority treatment of voice and critical business applications
– Enforcing basic security policies to limit access to the network and mitigate threats
– Reducing total cost of ownership through simplified operations and automation

Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switches support both IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at PoE- (up to 30W per port) to deliver lower total cost of ownership for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones, Cisco Aironet? wireless access points, or other standards-compliant PoE/PoE- end devices. PoE removes the need to supply wall power to PoE-enabled devices and eliminates the cost of adding electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments.

Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switches feature:

– 24 or 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with line-rate forwarding performance
– Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or 10G SFP- uplinks
– FlexStack Plus for stacking of up to 8 switches with 80 Gbps of stack throughput (optional)
– Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE-) support with up to 740W of PoE budget
– 24-port PoE fanless switch for deployment outside the wiring closet
– Reduced power consumption and advanced energy management features
– USB and Ethernet management interfaces for simplified operations
– Application visibility and capacity planning with integrated NetFlow-Lite
– LAN Base or LAN Lite Cisco IOS? software features
– Enhanced limited lifetime warranty (E-LLW) offering next-business-day hardware replacement

Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR models also offer:
– Power resiliency with optional dual field-replaceable power supplies
– IP Lite Cisco IOS? software with dynamic routing and Layer 3 features

Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48TS-L LAN Base stackable Layer 2 switch is comprised of 48 Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports and 4 * 1G SFP uplink interfaces. Advanced energy management solution with intelligent services reduces the power cost of business development.
FlexStack plus technology supports up to 8 switches stacking with same 2960-X LAN base series offering up to 80Gbps of stack throughput or up to 4 switches stacking when mixed with 2960-S LAN base series switches providing up to 40G of stack throughput.

Cisco IOS software features enhance forwarding process and USB/Ethernet management interface simplify the operations.

LAN base image delivers comprehensive layer 2 switching functionalities with enhanced QoS features which power the access layer switching performance. Netflow lite simplifies the network traffic monitoring procedure by capturing and recording packet flows in order to troubleshoot the thrill of the network.

The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches provide a range of security features to limit access to the network and mitigate threats, including:

– Features to control access to the network, including Flexible Authentication, 802.1x Monitor Mode, and RADIUS Change of Authorization
– Cisco SXP to simplify security and policy enforcement throughout the network
– Threat defense features including Port Security, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source Guard
– IPv6 First-Hop Security to protect against rogue router advertisements, spoofing, and other risks introduced by IPv6
