Advanced Networking
The WS-C2960G-24TC-L Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series 24 Ports Manageable Layer 2 Ethernet Switch has advanced networking capabilities such as:
- Quality of Service (QoS): Allows for prioritization of network traffic based on specific criteria, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): Provides power to devices such as IP phones and wireless access points over the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.
- VLAN: Allows for the creation of multiple virtual networks on a single physical infrastructure, improving security and network segmentation.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): Enables the aggregation of multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface for increased bandwidth and redundancy.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): Allows for the monitoring and management of the switch remotely.
- Access Control List (ACL): Provides security by allowing or denying traffic based on predefined rules.
- FlexStack: An optional module for the switch which allows for stacking multiple switches together for simplified management and increased bandwidth.
- Quality of Service (QoS): Allows for prioritization of network traffic based on specific criteria, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.

Scalable and Secure Networking
The WS-C2960G-24TC-L Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series 24 Ports Manageable Layer 2 Ethernet Switch is designed to provide scalable and secure networking for small to medium-sized businesses. It offers a number of features that support these goals, including:
- VLAN: Allows for the creation of multiple virtual networks on a single physical infrastructure. This improves network segmentation and security by isolating different groups of users and devices on different VLANs.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): Enables the aggregation of multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface. This increases bandwidth and redundancy, ensuring that the network remains available even if one link fails.
- Access Control List (ACL): Provides security by allowing or denying traffic based on predefined rules. This helps to prevent unauthorized access and protect against network-based attacks.
- FlexStack: An optional module for the switch which allows for stacking multiple switches together for simplified management and increased bandwidth. This allows for easy expansion of the network as the business grows.
- Advanced Security: IEEE 802.1x, Private VLAN Edge, DHCP Snooping and IP Source Guard. This provides a secure access to the network as it requires authentication and authorization of the devices trying to connect to the network.
- Cisco EnergyWise: Allows you to monitor, measure and control energy consumption. It helps to reduce energy consumption, thereby reducing costs and improving the sustainability of the network.
- Cisco TrustSec: A security solution that enables identity-based security across wired and wireless networks, providing granular access control and threat defense.
- Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE): A network access control solution that provides secure guest access, endpoint profiling, and posture assessment.
- Cisco Security Group Access (SGA): A security solution that enables identity-based security across wired and wireless networks, providing granular access control and threat defense.
- Cisco Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS): A security solution that enables identity-based security across wired and wireless networks, providing granular access control and threat defense.
Power and Management
The WS-C2960G-24TC-L Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series 24 Ports Manageable Layer 2 Ethernet Switch provides several options for power and management:
- Power Over Ethernet (PoE): The switch can provide power to devices such as IP phones and wireless access points over the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for additional power supplies. This can simplify deployment and reduce costs.
- Redundant Power Supply: The switch can be configured with a redundant power supply to ensure that the network remains operational even if one power supply fails.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): The switch can be managed remotely using SNMP, allowing network administrators to monitor and configure the switch from a central location.
- Cisco Network Assistant (CNA): CNA is a free management tool that can be used to configure, troubleshoot, and manage Cisco switches. It provides a graphical user interface that makes it easy to perform common tasks such as configuring VLANs and creating access control lists.
- Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP): This is a web-based tool that allows network administrators to configure and manage Cisco devices. It provides a wizard-based interface that makes it easy to perform common tasks such as configuring VLANs and creating access control lists.
- Cisco Works LAN Management Solution (LMS): Cisco Works LMS is a comprehensive management solution that allows network administrators to manage and troubleshoot Cisco devices from a central location.
- Cisco EnergyWise: Allows you to monitor, measure and control energy consumption. It helps to reduce energy consumption, thereby reducing costs and improving the sustainability of the network.
- Cisco Smartports: A feature that provides pre-configured templates for different types of devices, making it easy to configure the switch for optimal performance and 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 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.

What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
