Advanced Features and Security
The WS-C2960X-24TS-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 24 Ports Ethernet Managed Switch offers a number of advanced features and security capabilities that are designed to improve the performance, security, and scalability of enterprise and mid-sized business networks.
Advanced Features:
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): This feature allows multiple physical links to be bundled together to form a single logical link, providing increased bandwidth and redundancy.
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping: This feature helps to prevent DHCP spoofing attacks by verifying the DHCP messages received on a network.
- Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping: This feature allows the switch to optimize the multicast traffic by controlling the multicast data distribution.
- FlexStack-Plus: This feature allows multiple switches to be combined and managed as a single entity, providing increased network scalability, redundancy, and ease of management.
- Stackable: This feature allows multiple switches to be combined and managed as a single entity, providing increased network scalability, redundancy, and ease of management.
Security:
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): This feature allows 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.
- Secure Shell (SSH) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v3: This feature provide secure access and remote management of the switch.
Maximizing Network Performance
Maximizing network performance of the WS-C2960X-24TS-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 24 Ports Ethernet Managed Switch can be achieved by implementing the following best practices:
- Utilize Quality of Service (QoS) features: The switch supports advanced QoS features such as traffic prioritization, congestion management, and bandwidth control. By properly configuring these features, network administrators can ensure that critical network traffic, such as voice and video, is given priority over less important traffic, helping to improve overall network performance.
- Implement Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): This feature allows multiple physical links to be bundled together to form a single logical link, providing increased bandwidth and redundancy. This can help to improve network performance by increasing the available bandwidth and reducing the likelihood of network outages.
- Monitor and troubleshoot network issues: Use the switch's built-in monitoring and troubleshooting tools, such as Cisco Network Assurance Engine (NAE) and Cisco DNA Center, to identify and resolve network issues before they impact network performance.
- Implement 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. By properly configuring these features, network administrators can help to prevent unauthorized access and other security threats, which can help to improve network performance.
- Regularly update the firmware: Regularly updating the switch firmware can help to improve performance and security by providing new features, bug fixes, and security patches.
- Properly size the switch: Make sure that the switch has sufficient memory and CPU resources to handle the network traffic and features that are being used. This can help to prevent performance bottlenecks.
- Monitor the network traffic: Continuously monitor the network traffic, check the data rate, and identify the top talkers and listeners. This will help to identify any potential bottleneck or underutilized resources in the network, and can be used to adjust the network configuration to optimize performance.
By following these best practices, network administrators can help to ensure that their networks are running at optimal performance.
Power Options and Redundancy
The WS-C2960X-24TS-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 24 Ports Ethernet Managed Switch offers several options for power and redundancy to ensure that the network remains up and running in case of failures or power outages.
Power:
- 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.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): The switch supports PoE, which allows devices such as IP phones and wireless access points to receive power over the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.
- Redundant Power Supply (RPS) : This feature allows the switch to continue operation even if one of the power supplies fails.
Redundancy:
- Stackable: The switch supports stackable technology, which allows multiple switches to be combined and managed as a single entity, providing increased network scalability, redundancy, and ease of management.
- FlexStack-Plus: This feature allows multiple switches to be combined and managed as a single entity, providing increased network scalability, redundancy, and ease of management.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): This feature allows multiple physical links to be bundled together to form a single logical link, providing increased bandwidth and redundancy.
