Scalable and Secure Networking
Scalability refers to the ability of a network to expand and adapt to changing demands and requirements. The WS-C2960S-24TS-S Cisco Catalyst 2690-S Series switch is designed to be stackable, meaning that multiple units can be connected together to increase the number of ports and provide a more flexible and scalable network solution. This allows organizations to easily add more devices and users to the network without having to replace the entire switch.
Security is also an important aspect of networking, and the WS-C2960S-24TS-S Cisco Catalyst 2690-S Series switch provides advanced security features to help protect the network from unauthorized access and malicious attacks. These features include Access Control Lists (ACLs) which can be used to restrict access to specific parts of the network, and Cisco Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS) which provide identity-based security policies for endpoint devices.
Additionally, the switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) which enables network administrators to prioritize network traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need. VLANs (Virtual Local Area Network) support allows to segment the network into smaller, logical networks, this allows to reduce the broadcast traffic and increase security.
Simplifying Network Management
The WS-C2960S-24TS-S Cisco Catalyst 2690-S Series switch is designed to simplify network management by providing a range of tools and features that make it easy to monitor and control the network.
One key feature that simplifies management is the switch's web-based graphical user interface (GUI). This interface provides a user-friendly way to configure and manage the switch, including setting up VLANs, creating ACLs, and monitoring network performance.
Additionally, the switch supports Cisco's industry-standard command-line interface (CLI) which allows network administrators to easily automate configuration tasks and troubleshoot issues. This helps to simplify the management of large networks with many switches and devices.
The switch also supports Cisco's Smartports and Auto Smartports features, this feature allows network administrators to easily configure the switch ports based on the type of device connected to them, such as a server or a workstation, without having to manually configure each port.
Additionally, the switch can be managed remotely via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) which allows network administrators to monitor and control the switch from a central location.
Maintenance and Support
The WS-C2960S-24TS-S Cisco Catalyst 2690-S Series switch is a reliable and durable networking device, but like all electronic devices, it requires regular maintenance and support to ensure optimal performance.
Cisco offers several options for maintaining and supporting the WS-C2960S-24TS-S switch. One option is a software maintenance contract, which provides access to software updates, bug fixes, and technical support. This contract can also include advanced replacement of hardware, which allows for quick replacement of a failed component without having to wait for the failed component to be repaired.
Another option is Cisco's Smart Net Total Care, which provides comprehensive support for the switch, including hardware and software maintenance, technical support, and access to Cisco's online resources. This service also includes proactive monitoring and diagnostics to help identify and resolve potential issues before they cause downtime.
Cisco also offers a hardware warranty for the WS-C2960S-24TS-S switch, which covers defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period of time. In addition, this switch is part of Cisco End of Life (EOL) program, that means that is not being manufactured anymore, but you can still get support for it.

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.
