Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches

The Cisco® Catalyst® 2960 Series Switches are standalone
fixed-configuration switches offering Fast Ethernet
and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with LAN services for
midmarket and branch office networks.
Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series intelligent Ethernet switches
are offered in two categories.
Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series with LAN Base software

Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series with LAN Lite Software
Cisco Catalyst 2960 Models with LAN Base Software Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with LAN Base software deliver intelligent services for commercial and midsize enterprise wiring closets and branch offices. The LAN Base software supports enhanced integrated security, including Network Admission Control (NAC), advanced quality of service (QoS), availability, and scalable management to enable new converged applications.

Primary Benefits
Connectivity: Fast Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity in 8-port, 24-port, and 48-port configurations
Power over Ethernet (PoE): 24 full PoE port and
24-port (PoE supported on 8 ports) configurations
Advanced Services: Layer 2 switching with intelligent Layer 2 through 4 services for the
network edge
Security: Network security enabled through a wide range of authentication methods, data encryption technologies, and NAC based on users, ports, and MAC addresses

recovery; FlexLinks provides sub-100-millisecond
convergence; Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) increases available bandwidth by allowing
traffic on redundant links
QoS: Industry-leading mechanisms for marking, classification, and scheduling to deliver superior
network performance and multicast services Hardware-based multicast for efficient voice, video,
and data traffic AC power supply failure protection with external power supply using Cisco Redundant Power System 2300
Management: Cisco Network Assistant simplifies configuration, upgrades, and troubleshooting;
Smartports enable fast and easy configuration of Cisco Catalyst intelligent capabilities;
Express Setup is quick and easy using the webpage interface Single IP address, SYSLOG, SNMP management for a stack of up to 16 switches Limited lifetime hardware warranty Software updates at no additional charge
Customers
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 switches with LAN Base software are for users who: Want to power PoE devices, including Cisco IP phones, wireless access points, or IP video cameras.
Expect intelligent services for new converged applications for midmarket wiring closets and small
branch offices
Are interested in intelligent features and capabilities such as QoS, enhanced security, and availability
Want to quickly deploy and easily manage their networks

Cisco Catalyst 2960 switches with the LAN Lite software image (Figure 2) simplify the migration from
nonintelligent hubs and unmanaged switches to a fully scalable managed network. The LAN Lite Cisco IOS® Software provides entry-level security, QoS, and availability capabilities while lowering the network total cost of ownership.

Primary Benefits
Security: Network security is enabled through a wide range of authentication methods, data
encryption technologies, and NAC based on users, ports, and MAC addresses. Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping allows only trusted ports to relay DHCP messages,
eliminating rogue DHCP servers; Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard prevent against
man-in-the-middle attacks (3560 only); 802.1x and Identity-Based Network Services allow only
authorized persons on the network; port security prevents MAC address flooding attacks.
Power over Ethernet: 123W PoE simplifies unified communications, wireless, and video surveillance
deployments (3560 only).
QoS: Network control and bandwidth optimization through advanced QoS, granular rate limiting, access control lists (ACLs), and multicast services.
Management: Cisco Network Assistant simplifies configuration, upgrades, and troubleshooting. Cisco
Smartports enable fast and easy configuration of Cisco Catalyst intelligent capabilities; express
setup enables quick and easy out-of-box setup using a webpage interface simplifies setup with a
Web interface; resource templates help customize switch resources for the application.
