Cisco Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C Compact Series Software
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-C Series Compact Switches come IP Base and the Cisco Catalyst 2960-C Series Compact
Switches come with LAN Base, neither switch can be upgraded.
The LAN Base feature set offers enhanced intelligent services that includes comprehensive Layer 2 features.
The IP Base feature set provides baseline enterprise services in addition to all LAN Base features. IP Base also
includes the support for routed access, MACSec, and OSPF.
Cisco Networked Sustainability: Good for Business, Better for Environment
Together, Cisco EnergyWise technology and Cisco Catalyst Compact switches enable greenhouse gas (GhG)
emissions reduction, increased energy cost savings, and sustainable business behavior.
●
PoE pass-through gives the ability to power PoE end devices through drawing PoE from the wiring closet.
The Cisco Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L has eight 10/100 ports with two PoE or PoE+ input ports to allow it to
be powered by another switch. This switch does not need a power supply and receives power over the uplink
from an upstream PoE device, providing deployment flexibility and availability. It is ideal for wiring and space-
constraint applications.
●
Cisco EnergyWise is an innovative architecture, added to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C series
compact switches, that enables the measurement of power consumption in the network infrastructure and
network-attached devices. EnergyWise encompasses a highly intelligent network-based approach to
communicate messages that measure and control energy between network devices and endpoints. The
network discovers Cisco EnergyWise-manageable devices, monitors their power consumption, and takes
action based on business rules to reduce power consumption.
●
Efficient switch operation: Cisco Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C series compact switches use hardware
components created by Cisco providing optimum power saving, low-power operations for industry best-in-
class power management, and power consumption capabilities. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-C ports are capable
of reduced power modes so that ports not in use can move into a lower power utilization state.
●
IEEE 802.3at or PoE+ available on the Cisco Catalyst 3560-C is the latest in PoE technology, allowing
capable devices to be powered with power output up to 30 watts per port. Table 2 outlines switch models and
power capacity for the Cisco Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C series compact switches.
