Introduction to the L2 Switch
The WS-C2960X-24TS-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-X is a 24-port managed Ethernet switch designed for use in enterprise and mid-sized business networks. It offers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS), Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). This switch supports stackable and FlexStack-Plus technology which allows multiple switches to be combined and managed as a single entity, providing increased network scalability and redundancy.
It also supports web-based and command-line interface (CLI) management, allowing for easy configuration and monitoring of the network. Additionally, it supports various advanced features such as Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping, and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping.
The switch is also equipped with a robust security feature set, including support for Network Admission Control (NAC) and Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). This switch also supports network-wide visibility and control with Cisco Network Assurance Engine (NAE) and Cisco DNA Center. The WS-C2960X-24TS-L is a cost-effective solution for enterprise and mid-sized business networks that require advanced features, high performance, and resiliency.
Advanced Networking Capabilities
The WS-C2960X-24TS-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 24 Ports Ethernet Managed Switch offers a number of advanced networking capabilities that are designed to improve the performance, security, and scalability of enterprise and mid-sized business networks. Some of these advanced capabilities include:
- Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports advanced QoS features such as traffic prioritization, congestion management, and bandwidth control, which allow network administrators to prioritize critical network traffic and ensure that bandwidth-intensive applications receive the resources they need.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The switch supports ACLs, which allow network administrators to define and enforce security policies that restrict access to network resources based on user or device attributes.
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE): The switch supports EEE, which reduces power consumption by automatically shutting down ports when they are not in use. This feature can help to reduce energy costs and improve the overall efficiency of the network.
- Stackable and FlexStack-Plus technology: The switch supports stackable and FlexStack-Plus technology, which allows multiple switches to be combined and managed as a single entity. This provides increased network scalability, redundancy, and ease of management.
- Network-wide visibility and control: The switch supports Cisco Network Assurance Engine (NAE) and Cisco DNA Center, which provide network-wide visibility and control. This allows network administrators to detect and troubleshoot issues across the network, and to quickly identify and resolve problems before they impact network performance.
-Security: The switch supports robust security features, including support for Network Admission Control (NAC) and Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). This allows network administrators to implement comprehensive security policies that protect against unauthorized access, malware, and other security threats.
Security and Quality of Service
The WS-C2960X-24TS-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 24 Ports Ethernet Managed Switch offers advanced security and Quality of Service (QoS) features that are designed to improve the performance, security, and scalability of enterprise and mid-sized business networks.
Security:
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The switch supports ACLs, which allow network administrators to define and enforce security policies that restrict access to network resources based on user or device attributes.
- Network Admission Control (NAC) : This feature allows the switch to identify, authenticate, and authorize users and devices that attempt to access the network. It also provides a secure method to isolate and contain rogue devices and noncompliant systems.
- Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) : This feature allows to implement comprehensive security policies that protect against unauthorized access, malware, and other security threats.
Quality of Service (QoS):
- Traffic prioritization: This feature allows network administrators to prioritize critical network traffic, such as voice and video, to ensure that these applications receive the resources they need for optimal performance.
- Congestion management: This feature allows network administrators to control how network resources are allocated during periods of heavy traffic, ensuring that the most important traffic is given priority.
- Bandwidth control: This feature allows network administrators to set limits on how much bandwidth individual users or devices can consume. This can help to prevent bandwidth-intensive applications from consuming too many resources and impacting network performance.

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.
