Designed for operational simplicity to lower TCO, this platform also offers superior security capabilities. The switches deliver best-in-class energy efficiency, while preserving your investments through mixed stacking with existing Catalyst 2960-S and SF switches.
Scalable and resilient
The Cisco 2960-X Series Switch makes sure you can respond to new developments quickly. Because of true stacking capabilities, you can manage switches as one entity. It's possible to stack up to eight switches with 80 Gbps bandwidth, if you add the optional Cisco FlexStack+ module. Use Power over Ethernet and Power over Ethernet+ support up to 740 Watt, without adding extra power sources.
Smart management with software-defined networking (SDN)
The switch is built for network programmability, which makes it ready for software-defined networking (SDN). With network programmability and the controller, you can set up your network the way you want it, without hardware limitations. Use Cisco’s OnePK functionalities for developing and automizing your network.
In control with AVC
With application visibility and control (AVC) you realize classification, monitoring and traffic control on application level. NetFlow Lite prioritizes business applications.
Automated configuration
Benefit from automated configuration based on the type of device. This technology, Auto Smart Ports, enables fast deployment.
Network security
The Cisco 2960-X Series Switch is highly secure. Use Cisco Trustsec to enable scalable and dynamic role-based access control. This way, you keep unauthorized users off the network.
Green switch
The Cisco 2960-X Series Switch is the greenest switch ever. When you don't use the network, Cisco Energy Management (CEM) saves energy. With Energy Efficient Ethernet, you save energy on all switch ports which results in cost reduction.
Warranty
The enhanced limited lifetime warranty provides the same terms as Cisco’s standard limited lifetime warranty, but adds next business day delivery of
replacement hardware, where available, and 90 days of 8X5 Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support."
