Description
The WS-C2960X-48TS-L is a fixed-configuration, stackable Ethernet switch from Cisco's 2960-X series. It has 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4 SFP (small form-factor pluggable) uplink ports, and a LAN Base feature set.
Some key features include:
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support: This feature reduces power consumption by disabling the Ethernet physical layer (PHY) when there is no data traffic.
StackWise Plus technology: This allows you to stack up to 8 2960-X switches together and manage them as a single entity, providing a scalable and cost-effective solution for your network.
Quality of Service (QoS): The L2 supports various QoS features such as traffic shaping, congestion avoidance, and prioritization of voice and video traffic.
In addition, this Switch has a number of security features, including access control lists (ACLs), Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) integration, and support for IEEE 802.1X authentication. It also supports various management protocols such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Remote Monitoring (RMON), and Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP).
High-Performance for SFP Switch
The WS-C2960X-48TS-L is a high-performance Ethernet switch that is capable of supporting a wide range of network applications. It has a switching capacity of 176 Gbps, which means that it can handle a large amount of traffic without experiencing any performance bottlenecks.
In terms of forwarding rate, the is capable of forwarding packets at a rate of 128.8 mpps (million packets per second). This means that it can process a very large number of packets per second, which is important for ensuring that network traffic flows smoothly and efficiently.
The switch also has a number of features that are designed to improve its overall performance. For example, it supports Quality of Service (QoS) functions, which allow you to prioritize certain types of traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need. It also supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which helps to reduce power consumption by allowing the switch to enter a low-power state when not in use.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Cisco WS-C2960X-48TS-L is a 48-port, stackable, fixed-configuration switch that provides enterprise-class access for campus and branch networks. It supports Cisco FlexStack-Plus for stacking of up to 8 switches with 80 Gbps of stack throughput.
Troubleshooting:
To troubleshoot the switch, you can use the built-in diagnostic commands and tools, such as the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) and the Cisco Network Assistant.
If you are experiencing connectivity issues, you can use the "show interfaces" command to check the status and statistics of the interfaces.
If you are experiencing performance issues, you can use the "show process cpu" command to check the CPU utilization of the switch.
Maintenance:
To maintain the switch, you should regularly check for software updates and apply them as needed.
You should also check the system log for any error messages and troubleshoot accordingly.
It is recommended to schedule regular backups of the switch configuration and to check the integrity of the system's flash memory.
It's also important to check the status of the fan and power supply units, as well as the temperature of the switch.
Keep your switch running at optimal performance by keeping it in a clean and secure environment, and by monitoring the system resources on a regular basis.
It's always recommended to have a backup plan and knowledge of the hardware replacement process in case of failure.
