Table 1. Features and Benefits of Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series

Feature Benefit

Ease of Use and Deployment

• Express Setup simplifies initial configuration with a Web browser, eliminating the need for more complex

terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.

• DHCP autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.

• Automatic QoS (Auto QoS) simplifies QoS configuration in voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks by issuing interface

and global switch commands to detect Cisco IP phones, classify traffic, and enable egress queue configuration.

• Autosensing on each 10/100 port detects the speed of the attached device and automatically configures the

port for 10- or 100-Mbps operation, easing switch deployment in mixed 10- and 100-Mbps environments.

• Autonegotiating on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.

• Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) helps enable dynamic trunk configuration across all switch ports.

• Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast EtherChannel® groups or Gigabit

EtherChannel groups to link to another switch, router, or server.

• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that conform

to IEEE 802.3ad. This feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP.

• DHCP Server enables a convenient deployment option for the assignment of IP addresses in networks that do

not have without a dedicated DHCP server.

• DHCP Relay allows a DHCP relay agent to broadcast DHCP requests to the network DHCP server.

• 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, 1000BASE-BX, 100BASE-FX, 100BASE-LX, 100BASE-BX,

and coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) physical interface support through a field-replaceable

SFP module provides unprecedented flexibility in switch deployment.

• The default configuration stored in flash memory ensures that the switch can be quickly connected to the

network and can pass traffic with minimal user intervention.

• Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (Auto-MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs

if an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed on a copper port.

• Time-domain reflectometer (TDR) to diagnose and resolve cabling problems on copper ports.

AVAILABILITY AND SCALABILITY

Superior Redundancy for

Fault Backup

• Cisco UplinkFast and BackboneFast technologies help ensure quick failover recovery, enhancing

overall network stability and reliability.

• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides rapid spanning-tree convergence independent of

spanning-tree timers and the benefit of distributed processing.

• Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree Plus (PVRST+) allows rapid spanning-tree reconvergence on a per-VLAN

spanning-tree basis, without requiring the implementation of spanning-tree instances.

• Command-switch redundancy enabled in Cisco Network Assistant software allows designation of a backup

command switch that takes over if the primary command switch fails.

• Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD allow unidirectional links to be detected

and disabled to avoid problems such as spanning-tree loops.

• Switch port autorecovery (errdisable) automatically attempts to re-enable a link that is disabled because of

a network error.

• Cisco Redundant Power System 675 (RPS 675) support provides superior internal power-source redundancy

for up to six Cisco networking devices, resulting in improved fault tolerance and network uptime.

• Bandwidth aggregation up to 8 Gbps through Cisco Gigabit EtherChannel technology and up to 800 Mbps

through Cisco Fast EtherChannel technology enhances fault tolerance and offers higher-speed aggregated

bandwidth between switches and to routers and individual servers.
