MODEL- WS-C2960G-24TC-L VENDOR- CISCO
FEATURES- Catalyst 2960 Series Switch
20 Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports and 4 dual-purpose uplinks (each dual-
purpose uplink port has one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port and one
SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet port, 1 port active); 1 RU fixed-
configuration switch; Entry-level enterprise-class intelligent
services; LAN Base Image Installed.
Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Intelligent Ethernet Switches are a new
family of fixed-configuration standalone devices that provide
desktop Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling
enhanced LAN services for entry-level enterprise, mid-market, and
branch office networks. The Catalyst 2960 Series offers integrated
security, including network admission control (NAC), advanced
quality of service (QoS), and resiliency to deliver intelligent
services for the network edge.
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series offers:
- Intelligent features at the network edge, such as sophisticated
access control lists (ACLs) and enhanced security.
- Dual-purpose uplinks for Gigabit Ethernet uplink flexibility,
allowing use of either a copper or a fiber uplink-each dual-
purpose uplink port has one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port and one
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)-based Gigabit Ethernet port,
with one port active at a time.
- Network control and bandwidth optimization using advanced QoS,
granular rate limiting, ACLs, and multicast services.
- Network security through a wide range of authentication methods,
data encryption technologies, and network admission control
based on users, ports, and MAC addresses.
- Easy network configuration, upgrades, and troubleshooting using
Cisco Network Assistant software.
- Auto-configuration for specialized applications using
Smartports.
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series software image is a rich suite of
intelligent services, including advanced QoS, rate limiting, and
ACLs. The SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports accommodate a range of
SFP transceivers, including the Cisco 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX,
1000BASE-BX, 1000BASE-ZX, 100BASE-FX, 100BASE-LX, 100BASE-BX, and
coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) SFP transceivers.
* GIGABIT ETHERNET
At speeds of 1000 Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet provides the bandwidth to meet
new and evolving network demands, alleviate bottlenecks, and boost
performance while increasing the return on existing infrastructure
investments. Todays workers are placing higher demands on networks,
running multiple concurrent applications. For example, a worker joins a
team conference call through an IP videoconference, sends a 10-MB
spreadsheet to meeting participants, broadcasts the latest marketing
video for the team to evaluate, and queries the customer relationship
management (CRM) database for the latest real-time feedback. Meanwhile,
a multigigabyte system backup starts in the background and the latest
virus updates are delivered to the client.
* INTELLIGENCE IN THE NETWORK
Networks of today are evolving to address four new developments at the
network edge:
- Increase in desktop computing power
- Introduction of bandwidth-intensive applications
- Expansion of highly sensitive data on the network
- Presence of multiple device types, such as IP phones, WLAN access
