Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Features
The WS-C2960C-8TC-L Cisco Catalyst 2960C 8 Ports Manageable Switch provides several troubleshooting and diagnostics features that can be used to identify and resolve network issues. Here are some of the key features:
- Cisco IOS Command-Line Interface (CLI): The switch has a CLI that allows network administrators to issue commands to configure and troubleshoot the switch.
- LED Indicators: The switch has LED indicators on the front panel that provide information about the status of the switch ports, power supply, and system status. These LED indicators can be used to quickly identify potential issues with the switch.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): The switch supports SNMP, which allows network administrators to monitor and manage the switch remotely. SNMP can be used to retrieve information about the switch, such as its configuration, interface status, and error counters.
- Cisco Network Assistant: The Cisco Network Assistant is a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a centralized management tool for configuring and troubleshooting Cisco network devices, including the WS-C2960C-8TC-L switch. The tool provides a real-time view of network topology and device status, as well as the ability to configure device settings.
- Port Mirroring: The switch supports port mirroring, which allows network administrators to monitor network traffic by copying traffic from one switch port to another. This feature can be useful for troubleshooting network issues and identifying potential security threats.
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): The switch supports STP, which is a network protocol that prevents loops in the network by disabling redundant links. STP can be used to prevent network outages and improve network stability.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The switch supports LACP, which is a network protocol that allows network administrators to group multiple physical links together to form a single logical link. LACP can be used to increase network bandwidth and improve network redundancy.
- Port Security: The switch supports port security, which allows network administrators to limit the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a switch port. This feature can be used to prevent unauthorized access to the network and improve network security.

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.
