Cisco WS-C2960X-24PS-L Catalyst Overview

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960X-24PS-L is a highly versatile and efficient stackable Layer 2 switch tailored for enterprise network environments, particularly suitable for campus and branch applications. This model features 24 Ethernet ports that support 10/100/1000 Mbps connections, ensuring high-speed data transfer for a wide range of network devices. A standout feature of the WS-C2960X-24PS-L is its Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability, compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard, which enables the delivery of power alongside data over Ethernet cables, providing up to 30W of power per port. This is particularly beneficial for powering devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras, streamlining installations and reducing the need for separate power sources.

In addition to its port capabilities, the switch is equipped with four 1G SFP uplink interfaces, allowing for high-capacity connections to core network switches or other data center equipment. This enhances the overall network throughput and provides flexibility in network design.

With its LAN Base feature set, the switch supports essential Layer 2 functionalities including Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), which help to efficiently manage network traffic and prevent loops. Furthermore, the Catalyst 2960X-24PS-L includes advanced security features that protect against unauthorized access, thereby safeguarding sensitive data within the network.

The compact design, fitting into a 1RU (1 Rack Unit) space, makes the switch suitable for environments where space is at a premium, such as server rooms or network closets. The management of the switch is facilitated through Cisco’s IOS Software, which provides an intuitive interface and comprehensive tools for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Overall, the Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24PS-L delivers a reliable and scalable solution for modern enterprise networks, balancing performance, security, and operational efficiency to meet evolving connectivity needs.
