Overview
The Cisco® Catalyst® 2960-Plus Series Switches are fixed-configuration Fast
Ethernet switches (Figure 1) that provide enterprise-class Layer 2 switching for
branch offices, conventional workspaces, and infrastructure applications. They
enable reliable and secure operations with lower total cost of ownership through
a range of Cisco IOS® software features, including Cisco Catalyst
SmartOperations.
Highlights
Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus switches feature:
Applications and Benefits
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus Series provides cost-effective, enterprise class
Ethernet switching for:
Benefits of the 2960-Plus include:
- Robust quality of service (QoS) that prioritizes voice and critical
business applications
- Flexible security features that can limit access to the network and
mitigate threats
- Tools that reduce total cost of ownership through simplified operations
and automation
Robust Security
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus 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
- Threat defense features including Port Security, Dynamic ARP Inspection,
and IP Source Guard
- Private VLAN Edge to provide isolation between switch ports
Enterprise-Class Quality of Service
The Cisco 2960-Plus Series Switches offer intelligent traffic management that
keeps everything flowing smoothly. Flexible mechanisms for marking,
classification, and scheduling deliver superior performance for data, voice, and
video traffic, all at wire speed. Primary QoS features include:
- Four egress queues per port and strict priority queuing so that the
highest priority packets are serviced ahead of all other traffic
- Shaped Round Robin (SRR) scheduling and Weighted Tail Drop (WTD)
congestion avoidance
- Flow-based rate limiting and up to 64 aggregate or individual policers per
port
- 802.1p class of service (CoS) and differentiated services code point
(DSCP) field classification, with marking and reclassification on a per-packet
basis by source and destination IP address, MAC address, or Layer 4 TCP/UDP
port number
Cisco Catalyst SmartOperations
Cisco Catalyst SmartOperations is a comprehensive set of capabilities that
simplify LAN planning, deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Deploying
SmartOperations tools reduces the time and effort required to operate the
network and lowers total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Cisco Smart Install enables zero-touch deployment by
providing automated Cisco IOS Software image installation and configuration
when new switches are connected to the network.
- Cisco Auto Smartports enables automatic configuration of
switch ports as devices connect to the switch, with settings optimized for the
device type.
- Cisco Smart Troubleshooting is an extensive array of
diagnostic commands and system health checks within the switch, including
Smart Call Home.
Cisco EnergyWise
Cisco EnergyWise â„¢ empowers IT teams to measure and manage the power consumed
by devices connected to the network, providing measurable energy savings and
reduced greenhouse gas emissions. EnergyWise policies can be used to control the
power consumed by PoE-powered endpoints, desktop and data-center IT equipment,
and a wide range of building infrastructure. EnergyWise technology is included
on all Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus Series Switches.
Power over Ethernet
Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus switches support IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet
(PoE) to deliver lower total cost of ownership for deployments that incorporate
Cisco IP phones, Cisco Aironetwireless
access points, or other standards-compliant 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.
Network Management
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus Series Switches offer a superior CLI for
detailed configuration and administration. 2960-Plus switches are also supported
in the full range of Cisco network management solutions.
Cisco Prime Infrastructure
Cisco Prime â„¢ network management solutions provide comprehensive network
lifecycle management. Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides an extensive library
of easy-to-use features to automate the initial and day-to-day management of
your Cisco network. Cisco Prime integrates hardware and software platform
expertise and operational experience into a powerful set of workflow-driven
configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, reporting, and administrative
tools.
Cisco Network Assistant
A PC-based network management application designed for small and medium-sized
business (SMB) networks with up to 250 users, Cisco Network Assistant offers
centralized network management and configuration capabilities. This application
also features an intuitive GUI where users can easily apply common services
across Cisco switches, routers, and access points.
Cisco IOS Software
Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus Series Switches are available with the LAN Base and
LAN Lite feature sets. LAN Lite models provide reduced functionality and
scalability for small deployments with basic requirements.
Note that each switch model is tied to a specific feature level; LAN Lite
models cannot be upgraded to the LAN Base feature set.
