Description
The WS-C2960C-8PC-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-C 8 Ports Manageable Ethernet Switch is known for its reliability and robust design. It has several features that contribute to its reliability, including:
Redundant Power Supplies: The switch has dual power supplies that can be configured in a redundant mode, ensuring that power is always available to the switch, even if one power supply fails. This helps to prevent downtime and keep the network running smoothly.
StackWise Technology: The switch supports StackWise technology, which allows multiple switches to be stacked together and managed as a single device. This provides redundancy and high availability, as if one switch in the stack fails, the other switches can take over.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The switch supports LACP, which allows multiple links to be grouped together and treated as a single logical link. This provides redundancy, as if one link in the group fails, the other links can take over. This helps to ensure that network connectivity is maintained even in the event of a link failure.
Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports advanced QoS features, which allow for the prioritization of different types of traffic. This helps to ensure that mission-critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, even during times of high network traffic.
Advanced Security Features: The switch supports advanced security features, such as access control lists (ACLs) and port security, to help protect the network from unauthorized access and other security threats.
Easy Management: The switch is easy to manage, thanks to its web-based graphical user interface (GUI) and command-line interface (CLI). This makes it easy to configure and troubleshoot the switch, which helps to ensure that the network is up and running smoothly.
Power and Innovation
The WS-C2960C-8PC-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-C 8 Ports Manageable Ethernet Switch is known for its power and innovation. It has several features that contribute to its power and innovation, including:
High-Speed Connectivity: The switch has 8 ports, which provide high-speed connectivity options and support for Gigabit Ethernet. This allows the switch to handle high-speed data transfer and support high-bandwidth applications.
Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports advanced QoS features, which allow for the prioritization of different types of traffic. This helps to ensure that mission-critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, even during times of high network traffic.
Advanced Security Features: The switch supports advanced security features, such as access control lists (ACLs) and port security, to help protect the network from unauthorized access and other security threats.
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE): The switch supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which reduces power consumption when the network is idle. This helps to lower energy costs and reduce the environmental impact of the network.
Easy Management: The switch is easy to manage, thanks to its web-based graphical user interface (GUI) and command-line interface (CLI). This makes it easy to configure and troubleshoot the switch, which helps to ensure that the network is up and running smoothly.
Compact Form Factor: The switch has a compact form factor, which makes it easy to install in small spaces and provides a great solution for small and medium-sized businesses.
Resiliency and High Availability
The WS-C2960C-8PC-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-C 8 Ports Manageable Ethernet Switch is designed with resiliency and high availability in mind. It supports various features to ensure that network connectivity is maintained even in the event of a failure.
Redundant Power Supplies: The switch has dual power supplies that can be configured in a redundant mode, ensuring that power is always available to the switch, even if one power supply fails.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP): The switch supports RSTP, which allows for rapid recovery in the event of a failure in the network. This ensures that network connectivity is maintained and that traffic is quickly rerouted to avoid loops.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The switch supports LACP, which allows multiple links to be grouped together and treated as a single logical link. This provides redundancy, as if one link in the group fails, the other links can take over.
Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports advanced QoS features, which allow for the prioritization of different types of traffic. This helps to ensure that mission-critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, even during times of high network traffic.
Advanced Security Features: The switch supports advanced security features, such as access control lists (ACLs) and port security, to help protect the network from unauthorized access and other security threats.
