Redundant Power System
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches support the new generation of the Cisco Redundant
Power System (RPS) 2300, which increases availability in a converged data, voice, and video
network by providing transparent power backup to two of six attached switches at the same time.
Intelligence in the Network
Networks of today are evolving to address four new developments at the network edge:
●
Increase in desktop computing power
●
Introduction of bandwidth-intensive applications
●
Expansion of highly sensitive data on the network
●
Presence of multiple device types, such as IP phones, WLAN access points, and IP video
cameras
These new demands contend for resources with existing mission-critical applications. As a result,
IT professionals must view the edge of the network as critical to effectively manage the delivery of
information and applications.
As companies increasingly rely on networks as their strategic business infrastructure, it is more
important than ever to help ensure their high availability, security, scalability, and control. By
adding Cisco intelligent functions for LAN access, you can now deploy networkwide intelligent
services that consistently address these requirements from the desktop to the core and through
the WAN.
Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Ethernet switches help you realize the full benefits of adding intelligent
services into your networks. Deploying capabilities that make the network infrastructure highly
available to accommodate time-critical needs, scalable to accommodate growth, secure enough to
protect confidential information, and capable of differentiating and controlling traffic flows is critical
to further optimizing network operations.
Enhanced Security
The wide range of security features that the Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base Series offers helps you
protect important information, keep unauthorized people off the network, guard privacy, and
maintain uninterrupted operation.
The Cisco Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS) solution provides authentication, access
control, and security policy administration to secure network connectivity and resources. Cisco
IBNS in the Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base Series prevents unauthorized access and helps ensure
that users get only their designated privileges. It provides the ability to dynamically administer
granular levels of network access. Using the 802.1x standard and the Cisco Secure Access
Control Server (ACS), users can be assigned a VLAN upon authentication, regardless of where
they connect to the network. This setup allows IT departments to enable strong security policies
without compromising user mobility and with minimal administrative overhead.
To guard against denial-of-service (DoS) and other attacks, ACLs can be used to restrict access to
sensitive portions of the network by denying packets based on source and destination MAC
