High-Performance
The WS-C2960-24PC-S Cisco Catalyst switch is a high-performance switch that is designed to handle a large amount of network traffic. Some of the features that contribute to its high performance include:
- Fast Ethernet ports: All 24 ports on this product support Fast Ethernet speeds of up to 100Mbps, which allows for fast data transfer between devices connected to the switch.
- Switching fabric: The switch has a high-speed switching fabric that can process packets at wire speed, allowing it to handle large amounts of network traffic without any performance degradation.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports QoS, which allows you to prioritize different types of network traffic, such as voice and video, to ensure that they are delivered with the necessary level of performance.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): The switch supports PoE on all its ports, which allows you to power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without the need for additional power supplies.
- CPU, Memory and Flash : The switch has a powerful CPU, large memory and flash storage that enables it to run advanced features such as security and network management, allowing for better control and visibility of the network.
All in all, this part is a high-performance switch that is well-suited for use in a digital workplace, where a large number of devices need to be connected and high-bandwidth applications such as voice and video are in use.
Resiliency and High Availability
The WS-C2960-24PC-S Cisco Catalyst switch is designed to provide resiliency and high availability for your network. Some of the features that contribute to this include:
- Redundant Power Supplies: The switch supports the use of redundant power supplies, which ensures that the switch will continue to operate even if one of the power supplies fails.
- Hot-swappable power supplies: This means that the power supplies can be replaced without having to power down the switch, which minimizes the amount of downtime that your network experiences.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) : LACP allows you to bundle multiple physical ports together to form a single logical link, which provides redundancy and increased bandwidth. This way, if one of the physical links goes down, traffic can be automatically routed over the remaining links to keep the network up and running.
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) : STP helps to prevent network loops by identifying redundant paths and shutting down the less optimal path. This ensures that there is always a loop-free path for network traffic to flow, even if a link failure occurs.
- Advanced security features: the switch has advanced security features that can help prevent network downtime due to security breaches.
All in all, this Model is a switch that is designed to provide high availability and resiliency for your network, which helps to ensure that your devices and applications are always connected and available.
Reliability
The WS-C2960-24PC-S Cisco Catalyst switch is designed to provide high reliability for your network. Some of the features that contribute to this include:
- Hardware-based forwarding: The switch uses hardware-based forwarding, which offloads packet processing from the CPU to specialized ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit), this results in a more efficient use of resources and increased reliability.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports QoS, which allows you to prioritize different types of network traffic, such as voice and video, to ensure that they are delivered with the necessary level of performance.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): The switch supports PoE on all its ports, which allows you to power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without the need for additional power supplies. This can help to increase reliability by reducing the number of potential points of failure in your network.
- Advanced security features: The switch has advanced security features that can help prevent network downtime due to security breaches, such as firewall, access control, and intrusion detection/prevention.
- Regular software updates: Regular software updates can help to ensure that the switch's firmware is up-to-date and free from known vulnerabilities.
- Durable design: The switch has been designed to withstand the rigors of normal operation, including dust, humidity, and temperature extremes.

About Refurbished Products
Different Types of Switches
Networking switches vary widely depending on the number of devices they can support, network bandwidth/speed, and form factor. Switches for small offices will have anything between 4 and 8 ports and can fit on a desk. For larger office network implementation, switches may have 24 ports, 48 ports, 96 ports, and 128 ports and are rack-mountable between 1U and 4U. Switches come in different types depending on the network speed and tasks they support. These include 40/100 Gbps, 10 Gigabit (up to 10000 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1000 Mbps), Power over Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps).
Unmanaged Switches
The unmanaged switches offer fixed configuration on a plug-and-play basis. It is the most basic switch and there are a few choices in the market. These switches are affordable, but the basic features make them inappropriate for enterprise applications.
Managed Switches
The number of features and level of functionality improves with managed switches, making them ideal for enterprise and business applications. These switches are built with the command-line interface for ease of configuration. Equally, they support SNMP agents that come in handy when troubleshooting network issues.
The security on managed switches is better and will protect different types of traffic. Other features include support for virtual LANs, IP routing, and quality of service settings. Managed switches are more expensive compared to all other types of switches.
Smart Switches
Smart switches refer to switches that possess more features than those of unmanaged switches but do not have the full features of managed switches. Smart switches are more cost-effective than managed switches.
Some of the limitations of the smart switches are a lack of telnet access support, Web GUIs, and a lack of many features for VLANs. They are affordable compared to a fully managed switch and are suitable for a smaller computer network.
Modular Switches
Modular switches allow the addition of expansion modules as the network expands. The expansion modules allow for more networked devices but are application-specific. They may include wireless access points, firewalls, or network analysis tools. The flexibility of a modular networking switch comes at a higher cost.
