Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24PD-L

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 AutoSecure provides a single-line CLI to enable base line security features (Port Security, DHCP snooping, DAI). This feature simplifies security configurations with a single touch.

● Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.

● Stacking master configuration management and Cisco FlexStack Plus technology helps ensure that all switches are automatically upgraded when the master switch receives a new software version. Automatic software version checking and updating help ensure that all stack members have the same software version.

● Autonegotiation on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.

● Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) facilitates dynamic trunk configuration across all switch ports.

● Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast EtherChannel^® groups or Gigabit EtherChannel groups to link to another switch, router, or server.

● Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that conform to IEEE 802.3ad. This feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP.

● Automatic media-dependent interface crossover (MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs if an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed.

● Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD allow unidirectional links caused by incorrect fiber-optic wiring or port faults to be detected and disabled on fiber-optic interfaces.

● Switching Database Manager (SDM) templates for access, routing, and VLAN deployment allow the administrator to easily maximize memory allocation to the desired features based on deployment-specific requirements.

● Local Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) works in conjunction with Private VLAN Edge to minimize broadcasts and maximize available bandwidth.

● VLAN1 minimization allows VLAN1 to be disabled on any individual VLAN trunk.

● Smart Multicast, with Cisco FlexStack-Plus technology, allows the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series to offer greater efficiency and support for more multicast data streams such as video by putting each data packet onto the backplane only once.

● Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping for IPv4 and IPv6 MLD v1 and v2 Snooping provide fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams and limit bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors.

● Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) continuously sends multicast streams in a multicast VLAN while isolating the streams from subscriber VLANs for bandwidth and security reasons.

● Per-port broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control prevents faulty end stations from degrading overall systems performance.

● Voice VLAN simplifies telephony installations by keeping voice traffic on a separate VLAN for easier administration and troubleshooting.

● Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configuration across all switches.

● Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN) allows administrators to remotely monitor ports in a Layer 2 switch network from any other switch in the same network.

● For enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis, the Embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events).

● Layer 2 trace route eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a packet takes from source to destination.

● Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by downloading from a centralized location.

● Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all intranet switches.
