Intelligent Power over Ethernet Management
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series PoE models support the latest PoE devices including Cisco IP phones and Cisco
Aironet WLAN access points providing up to 15.4W of power per port, as well as any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end
device.
●
Per port power consumption command allows customers to specify maximum power setting on an
individual port.
●
Cisco Discovery Protocol Version 2 allows switches to negotiate a more granular power setting when
connecting to a Cisco powered device such as IP phones or access points than what is provided by IEEE
classification.
●
PoE MIB provides proactive visibility into power usage and allows customers to set different power-level
thresholds.
●
IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard PoE support comes with automatic discovery to detect a Cisco
prestandard or IEEE 802.3af endpoint and provide the necessary power without any user configuration.
Per-port PoE power sensing measures the actual power being drawn, enabling more intelligent control of
powered devices.
Table 2 lists the PoE capacity of the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches.

*Intelligent power allows flexible power allocation across all ports.
Ease of Operations
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches help reduce the operating costs through:
●
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations
●
Easy to use deployment and control features
●
Advanced, intelligent network management tools
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.
