BUSINESS FORCE Cisco Catalyst® 2960 Switches The new LOW COST 24 Gigabit port is here New
The Cisco Catalyst 2960G-24T-E is a member of the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches, an affordable Gigabit-to-the-desktop Ethernet switch that delivers wire-speed intelligent services. With 24 x 10/100/1000 BaseT ports, the Catalyst 2960 switch is ideal for high-performance departmental workgroups and small enterprise branch offices that need to boost network performance over existing Category 5 copper cabling. Featuring a complete set of intelligent services, the Catalyst 2960 Series Switch can increase productivity for today's knowledge workers by intelligently scaling beyond 100 Mbps.

The following two configurations comprise the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series:

  • Cisco Catalyst 2960G-24TS — 24 Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports and 4 small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports
  • Cisco Catalyst 2960G-24T — 24 Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports

Available with Cisco Enhanced Image (EI) IOS ® Software, the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series offers a complete set of intelligent multilayer services to deliver security, quality of service (QoS), and availability with the simplicity of traditional LAN switching. Features such as access control list (ACL) filtering and QoS classification bring security to the edge of the network while enabling applications such as IP telephony and real-time streaming multimedia.

    • Configurable maximum transmission unit (MTU) of up to 9018 bytes (jumbo frames) for bridging on Gigabit Ethernet ports, and up to 1546 bytes for bridging on Fast Ethernet ports

    Enhanced Security

    • The Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS) feature in the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series prevents unauthorized access and helps to ensure that users get only their designated privileges. Using the 802.1x standard and the Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS), users can be assigned a virtual LAN (VLAN) or an ACL upon authentication, regardless of where they connect to the network. This allows IT departments to enable strong security policies without compromising user mobility—and with minimal administrative overhead.
    • To guard against denial-of-service and other attacks, ACLs can be used to restrict access to sensitive portions of the network, blocking unauthorized access to servers and applications, by denying packets based on source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, or Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) ports. ACL lookups are done in hardware, so forwarding performance is not compromised when implementing ACL-based security.
    • Port security can be used to limit access on an Ethernet port based on the MAC address of the device that is connected to it. It can also limit the total number of devices plugged into a switch port, reducing the risks of rogue wireless access points or hubs.
    • Secure Shell (SSH), Kerberos, and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) encrypt administrative and network management information, protecting the network from tampering or eavesdropping. Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) and Remote Access Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) authentication enable centralized access control of switches and restrict unauthorized users from altering the configurations. Alternatively, a local username and password database can be configured on the switch itself. Fifteen levels of authorization on the switch console and two levels on the Web-based management interface provide the ability to give different levels of configuration capabilities to different administrators.
    • The MAC Address Notification feature can be used to monitor the network and track users by sending an alert to a management station so that network administrators know when and where users entered the network. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Interface Tracker (Option 82) feature tracks where a user is physically connected on a network by providing both the switch and the port ID to a DHCP server.
    • The Private VLAN Edge feature isolates ports on a switch, helping to ensure that traffic travels directly from the entry point to the aggregation device through a virtual path and cannot be directed to another port.

    Advanced QoS

    • The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series offers superior multilayer, granular QoS features to avoid congestion and help ensure that network traffic is properly classified and prioritized. Configuration of QoS is greatly simplified through Automatic QoS (AutoQoS), a feature that detects Cisco IP phones and automatically configures switches for the appropriate classification and egress queuing. This optimizes traffic prioritization and network availability without the challenge of complex configuration.
    • The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series can classify, police, mark, queue, and schedule incoming packets, and can queue and schedule packets at egress. Packet classification allows the network elements to discriminate between various traffic flows and to enforce policies based on Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS fields.

    Management

    • Express Setup is a new feature that simplifies initial configuration of a switch. Users now have the option to set up the switch through a Web browser, eliminating the need for more complex terminal emulation programs and knowledge of the command-line interface (CLI). Express Setup reduces the cost of deployment by enabling less-skilled personnel to quickly and simply set up switches.
    • Embedded in Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series switches is the Cisco Cluster Management Suite (CMS) Software, which allows users to simultaneously configure and troubleshoot up to 16 Cisco Catalyst desktop switches—regardless of their physical location—using a standard Web browser. Cisco CMS Software provides an integrated management interface for delivering intelligent services such as multilayer switching, QoS, multicast, and security ACLs. Cisco CMS Software allows administrators to take advantage of benefits formerly reserved for only the most advanced networks, without having to learn the CLI or the details of the technology. The new Guide Mode in Cisco CMS Software leads the user step-by-step through the configuration of advanced features and provides enhanced online help for context-sensitive assistance. In addition, Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data) wizards provide automated switch configuration to optimally support video streaming or videoconferencing, voice over IP (VoIP), and mission-critical applications. These wizards can save hours of time for network administrators, eliminate human errors, and help to ensure that the configuration of the switch is optimized for these applications.

    BUSINESS FORCE Cisco Cluster Management Suite

    The Cisco Cluster Management Suite (CMS) is a Web-based software that is embedded in Cisco Switches.

    Through Cisco Switch Clustering technology, users can access Cisco CMS with any standard Web browser to manage up to 16 switches at once, regardless of their geographic proximity. Administrators also have the option of using a single IP address for the entire cluster if desired. By bringing the simplicity of traditional LAN switching to intelligent services such as multilayer switching, QoS, multicast, and security access control lists (ACLs), Cisco CMS allows administrators to take advantage of benefits formerly reserved for only the most complex networks.

    The new Guide Mode in Cisco CMS leads the user step-by-step through the configuration of high-end features and provides enhanced online help for context-sensitive assistance. In addition, a Configuration Wizard provides automated configuration of the switch for video streaming or video conferencing which can save hours of time for network administrators, eliminate human errors, and ensure the configuration of the switch is optimized for these applications.
