Performance of 48 Ports Switch
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-48TC-L is a fixed-configuration, Ethernet switch that is designed for small to medium-sized businesses and enterprise branch offices. It has 48 10/100 Ethernet ports, 2 10/100/1000 Ethernet uplink ports, and 2 SFP uplink ports for fiber connectivity. The switch has a forwarding rate of 37.5 Mpps and a switching capacity of 7.5 Gbps. It supports a range of features, including Quality of Service (QoS), Security, and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). It is also highly scalable, with support for VLANs, trunking, and link aggregation, allowing it to be easily integrated into a larger network infrastructure.
Additional
Information
A managed Ethernet switch is a networking device that is equipped with advanced features for configuring and managing the switch, such as VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and security features. Managed switches allow administrators to customize the behavior of the switch to meet the specific needs of their network.
Ethernet switches operate at Layer 2 of the OSI model, which is the data link layer. They are responsible for forwarding data packets between devices on a LAN based on the MAC addresses of the devices. Ethernet switches use a process called learning to build a MAC address table, which is used to forward packets efficiently.
Unmanaged switches are simpler and less expensive than managed switches, but they do not offer the same level of control and customization. They are typically used in smaller networks where the added features of a managed switch are not needed.
VLAN and Virtual Network Configuration
Here are the steps to configure VLANs and virtual networks on a WS-C2960-48PST-L Cisco Catalyst 2960 48 Ports Ethernet Switch:
- Create VLANs: To create a VLAN, log in to the switch using the command-line interface (CLI) and use the "vlan" command to create a new VLAN. For example, to create VLAN 10, enter the command "vlan 10" and then enter "name vlan10" to give it a name.
- Assign ports to VLANs: Once you have created VLANs, use the "switchport access vlan" command to assign specific ports to each VLAN. For example, to assign port 1 to VLAN 10, enter the command "interface fastethernet 0/1" to select the port, and then enter "switchport mode access" followed by "switchport access vlan 10".
- Configure VLAN trunking: To allow multiple VLANs to be carried over a single physical link (trunking), use the "switchport mode trunk" command on the appropriate port. You can also use the "switchport trunk allowed vlan" command to specify which VLANs are allowed to be carried over the trunk.
- Create a virtual network: To create a virtual network, you can use the "interface vlan" command followed by a number to create a new virtual interface. For example, to create a virtual network with the IP address 192.168.1.1, enter the command "interface vlan 10" followed by "ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0".
- Assign ports to virtual networks: Once you have created a virtual network, use the "interface fastethernet" command to select a port and then use the "switchport access vlan" command to assign the port to the virtual network.
- Verify configuration: Use the "show vlan" and "show interfaces" commands to verify your VLAN and virtual network configurations.

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 configurations 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 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.
