Cisco

Catalyst

2960 Series Switches with LAN Base software are a family of fixed-

configuration, standalone intelligent Ethernet devices that provide desktop Fast Ethernet

and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling enhanced LAN services for entry-level

enterprise, midmarket, and branch office networks. The Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base

Series offers integrated security, including Network Admission Control (NAC), advanced

quality of service (QoS), and resiliency to deliver intelligent services for the network edge.

The Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base Series offers:

●

Intelligent features at the network edge, such as sophisticated access control lists (ACLs)

and enhanced security

●

Dual-purpose uplinks for Gigabit Ethernet uplink flexibility, allowing use of either a copper

or a fiber uplink-each dual-purpose uplink port has one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port and one

Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)-based Gigabit Ethernet port, with one port active at a

time

●

Network control and bandwidth optimization using advanced QoS, granular rate limiting,

ACLs, and multicast services

●

Network security through a wide range of authentication methods, data encryption

technologies, and NAC based on users, ports, and MAC addresses

●

Easy network configuration, upgrades, and troubleshooting using Cisco Network Assistant

software

●

Autoconfiguration for specialized applications using Smartports

●

Limited lifetime hardware warranty

●

Software updates at no additional charge

Data Sheet As companies increasingly rely on networks as their strategic business infrastructure, it is more important than ever to help ensure their high availability, security, scalability, and control. By adding Cisco intelligent functions for LAN access, you can now deploy networkwide intelligent services that consistently address these requirements from the desktop to the core and through the WAN.

Data Sheet on the Web-based management interface provide the ability to give different levels of configuration capabilities to different administrators. Availability and Scalability The Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base Series is equipped with a large set of features that allow for network scalability and higher availability through multicast filtering as well as a complete suite of Spanning Tree Protocol enhancements aimed to maximize availability in a Layer 2 network.

Data Sheet For example, it would be undesirable to have a large file download destined to one port on a switch increase latency in voice traffic destined to another port on this switch. This condition is avoided by making sure that voice traffic is properly classified and prioritized throughout the network. Other applications, such as Web browsing, can be handled on a lower-priority basis.

Data Sheet Table 1. Features and Benefits of Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base Switches Feature Ease of Use and Deployment Benefit ● Express Setup simplifies initial configuration with a Web browser, eliminating the need for more complex terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge. ● DHCP autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.
PAGE 7
Data Sheet Superior Manageability ● Cisco IOS Software CLI support provides a common user interface and command set with all Cisco routers and Cisco Catalyst desktop switches. ● IP Service Level Agreement (responder only) uses active monitoring to generate traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner, thus enabling the measurement of network performance and health.
PAGE 8
Data Sheet CiscoWorks Support ● CiscoWorks network-management software provides management capabilities on a per-port and per-switch basis, providing a common management interface for Cisco routers, switches, and hubs. ● SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band management, and a CLI-based management console provides detailed out-of-band management. ● The CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution supports the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series.

Data Sheet Advanced QoS ● Standard 802.1p CoS and DSCP field classification are provided, using marking and reclassification on a per-packet basis by source and destination IP address, source and destination MAC address, or Layer 4 TCP or UDP port number. ● Cisco control-plane and data-plane QoS ACLs on all ports help ensure proper marking on a per-packet basis. ● Four egress queues per port enable differentiated management of up to four traffic types.
PAGE 10
Data Sheet Networkwide Security Features ● IEEE 802.1x allows dynamic, port-based security, providing user authentication. ● IEEE 802.1x with VLAN assignment allows a dynamic VLAN assignment for a specific user regardless of where the user is connected. ● IEEE 802.1x with voice VLAN permits an IP phone to access the voice VLAN irrespective of the authorized or unauthorized state of the port. ● IEEE 802.
