Cisco Catalyst 2960 is a new family of second-level switches with a fixed configuration that allows you to connect workstations to Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks at the speed of the transmission medium, meeting the growing needs for bandwidth on the periphery of the network. For aggregation, combined gigabit uplink ports are used, which can be combined into a single channel using the GigabitEtherChannel technology.
This series of switches is focused primarily on small and medium-sized businesses, as well as branches of large companies to solve the problem of implementing the network access level. Compared to the popular Catalyst 2950 series of switches, the 2960 family models provide a broader set of security and quality of service functions, as well as bandwidth management. To simplify the configuration task, the Catalyst 2960 series switches have a Smartports function that allows you to perform basic settings of the switch port based on its purpose. Cisco Catalyst 2960 provides the need for data transmission at a speed of 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s, allows you to use LAN services, for example, for data transmission networks built in corporate branches. The Catalyst 2960 family allows you to ensure high data security due to the built-in NAC, QoS support and a high level of system stability.
Main Features:
- High level of security, advanced Access control lists (ACLs);
- Organization of network control and optimization of channel width using QoS, differentiated speed limit and ACL.
- To ensure network security, switches use a wide range of user authentication methods, data encryption technologies and the organization of access differentiation to resources based on the user ID, port and MAC addresses.
- The switches are easy to manage and configure
- The auto configuration function via Smart ports is available for some specialized applications.
