WS-C2960-24PC-L (USED)

How do I get the cryptography features, and is there an additional charge for them?

 The features with advanced cryptography (such as SSH, SSL, SCP, and SNMPv3) are packaged in a special "k9" version of the Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base and LAN Lite IOS images. You must go to the Software Download Center on Cisco.com to get the "k9" software versions and upgrade your switches. There is no additional charge for this software version.

Can you provide more details about how Cisco intelligent switching will help my network?

New applications are requiring higher bandwidth and the need to differentiate and control the traffic flow. Applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP; Oracle or SAP, for example), voice (IP telephony traffic), and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) require priority over less time-sensitive applications such as FTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). It is undesirable to have a large file download destined to one port on a switch increasing latency in voice traffic destined to another port on the same switch. This condition is avoided by making sure that voice traffic is properly classified and prioritized throughout the network. Cisco Intelligent Ethernet switches implement superior QoS to help ensure that network traffic is classified and prioritized and congestion is avoided.

Does WS-C2960-24PC-L support Cisco switch clustering technology?

 Yes. Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches can be managed using Cisco Network Assistant software, which uses Cisco switch clustering technology.

Does the WS-C2960-24PC-L support standards-based Power over Ethernet?

 Yes. The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series supports IEEE 802.3af, and it provides investment protection for the installed base of Cisco IP phones and Cisco Aironet wireless LAN access points by also supporting the Cisco pre-standard Power over Ethernet (inline power).

Can Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches support devices that require more than 15.4W?

No, Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches support only up to 15.4W on PoE ports. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24PC-L can support 24 simultaneous full-powered PoE port at 15.4W for maximum powered-device support. 

What are the benefits of Power over Ethernet ?

 Power over Ethernet can provide a lower total cost of ownership for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones and Cisco Aironet ® wireless LAN access points, as well as any IEEE 802.3af compliant end device. Power over Ethernet removes the need for wall power to each PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost for additional electrical cabling that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and wireless LAN deployments. PoE switches also eliminate the need for power injectors and PoE mid-spans for powering IP devices.
