CISCO WS-C2960XR-48TS-I – Catalyst 2960-XR 48 GigE, 4 x 1G SFP, IP Lite

Detailed Description:

The CISCO WS-C2960XR-48TS-I, belonging to the Catalyst 2960-XR Series, is equipped with 48 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for solid, enterprise-grade access for branch and midsize campus networks. This model includes 4 one-Gigabit SFP uplink modules, facilitating resilient and versatile network connections. Offering the ‘IP Lite’ package, it enables a suite of Layer 2 functionalities and basic Layer 3 features such as static routing and RIP, tailored for moderate-scale operations that necessitate efficient routing capabilities. The switch promotes operational efficiency and cost reductions through accessible management tools and setups like Cisco’s Smart Install, Auto SmartPorts, and simplified Cisco IOS Software management. It advocates for network scalability and flexibility with FlexStack-Plus technology, allowing for up to 8 units to be stacked, achieving 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth. The focus on energy conservation is pronounced through the adoption of the IEEE 802.3az standard (Energy-Efficient Ethernet) and the implementation of dynamic power management and Cisco EnergyWise to optimize power use. Enhanced security measures, including Cisco TrustSec for advanced access control and Secure Core Technology, guarantee a secure operational environment and protect against unauthorized access, ensuring the integrity of the network.
