Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960-24TT-L 2960 24 Port 10/100 Switch- WS-C2960-24TT-L

The Cisco Catalyst 2960 24-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch with LAN Base Software is your answer to a cost effective fixed-configuration access switch designed for enterprise, midmarket and branch office networks. The switch, leading layer 2 edge, gives you a secured, sustainable, easy and a borderless network experience.

The Cisco Catalyst 2960 is part of the new line fixed-configuration standalone devices that provide desktop fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for entry-level enterprise, mid-market and branch office networks to enable enhanced LAN services.

The Cisco Catalyst 2960 helps network managers by giving the option of configurations featuring dual-purpose (alternatively wired) uplinks for Gigabit Ethernet. With this hardware enhancement, the switch allows the network manager to use either a copper or a fiber uplink.

 
24-Ports of Fast Ethernet Desktop Connectivity
Dual-purpose uplinks for Gigabit Ethernet uplink flexibility, allowing use of either a copper or fiber uplink; each dual-purpose uplink port has one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port and one SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet port, with one port active at a time. A wide range of software features is present to provide ease of operation, highly secure business operations, sustainability and a borderless networking experience.

Borderless Networks
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 switch consists of borderless networks and a Cisco architecture, that delivers the new workspace experience, connecting anyone, anywhere, using any device, to any resource securely, reliably and transparently. Cisco's borderless network architecture addresses primary IT and business challenges to help create a truly borderless experience by bringing interactions closer to the employee and customer. Borderless experience is only possible with intelligent network elements designed and architected to meet the needs of a global workspace. Cisco network access is a primary component of this architecture, enabling various borderless network services such as mobility, security, sustainability, EnergyWise and ease of operations for increased productivity and operational efficiency. When network access is intelligent, it knows the identity of the user, as well as where the user is on the network. It knows what is connecting to the network, to automatically provision the network for QoS and delivery. It becomes services-aware to optimize user experience. Only with an intelligent access network can your enterprise go borderless securely and transparently. Your business can save energy and simplify operations with better business efficiency and have an optimized total cost of ownership.

Sustainability
The Cisco Catalyst switching solution enables greener practices through measurable power efficiency, integrated services and continuous innovations such as Cisco EnergyWise, an enterprise wide solution that monitors and conserves energy with customized policies. Together, Cisco EnergyWise technology and Cisco Catalyst switch reduces greenhouse gas emissions and increases energy cost savings and sustainable business behavior.

Cisco EnergyWise Technology
Cisco EnergyWise is an innovative architecture added to the Cisco Catalyst 2960 switch that promoting companywide sustainability by reducing energy consumption across an entire corporate infrastructure and affecting more than 50 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions created by worldwide building infrastructure, a much greater effect than the 2 percent generated by the IT industry. Cisco EnergyWise enables companies to measure the power consumption of network infrastructure and network-attached devices and manage power consumption with specific policies, reducing power consumption to realize increased cost savings, and potentially affecting any powered device. 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. EnergyWise uses a unique domain-naming system to query and summarize information from large sets of devices, making it simpler than traditional network management capabilities. Cisco EnergyWise's management interfaces allow facilities and network management applications to communicate with endpoints and each other using the network as a unifying fabric. The management interface uses standard SNMP or TCP to integrate Cisco and third-party management systems.
Efficient Switch Operation
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 switch provides optimum power savings and low power operations for industry best-in-class power management and power consumption capabilities.

Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations is a comprehensive set of capabilities that simplify LAN deployment, configuration and troubleshooting. Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations enable zero touch installation and replacement of switches, fast upgrade, as well as ease of troubleshooting with reduced operational cost. Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations is a set of features that includes Smart Install, Auto Smartports, Smart Configuration and Smart Troubleshooting to enhance operational excellence:
• Cisco Smart Install is a transparent plug-and-play technology to configure the Cisco IOS software image and switch configuration without user intervention. Smart Install utilizes dynamic IP address allocation and the assistance of other switches to facilitate installation providing transparent network plug and play.
• Cisco Auto Smartports provide automatic configuration as devices connect to the switch port, allowing auto detection and plug and play of the device onto the network.
• Cisco Smart Configuration provides a single point of management for a group of switches and in addition adds the ability archive and backup configuration files to a file server or switch allowing seamless zero touch switch replacement.
• Cisco Smart Troubleshooting is an extensive array of debug diagnostic commands and system health checks within the switch, including Generic Online Diagnostics and Onboard Failure Logging.
