2960 Cisco Systems Switch with LAN Based Software

CiscoCatalyst 2960 Series Switches with LAN Base software are a family of fixed- configuration, standalone intelligent Ethernet devi ces with Power Over Ethernet (PoE) or non-PoE configurations that provide desktop Fast Et hernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling enhanced LAN services for en try-level enterprise, midmarket, and branch office networks (See Figure 1). The Cisco Ca talyst 2960 LAN Base Series offers integrated security, including Network Admission Co ntrol (NAC), advanced quality of service (QoS), and resiliency to deliver intelligen t services for the network edge.

The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series provide PoE to allow easy connectivity to Ethernet-powered devices including Cisco IP phones and wireless acce ss points. Cisco Catalyst 2960 PoE models comply with Cisco pre-standard PoE and IEEE 802.3af . PoE removes the need for wall power to each PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost for additional electrical cable and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN d eployments. PoE switches also eliminate the need for power injectors and PoE mid-spans for powering IP devices. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24PC-L can support 24 simultaneous full-powere d PoE port at 15.4W. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24LT-L has 24 10/100 ports with 8 simultaneous full-powered PoE ports at 15.4W.
