Q&A

Q. What are the benefits of Power over Ethernet?

A. 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 midspans for powering IP devices.

Q. How many devices can the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series power?

A. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24PC-L can support 24 simultaneous full-powered PoE devices at

15.4W for maximum powered-device support. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24LT-L can support

eight PoE devices at 15.4W.

Q. Can Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches support devices that require more than

15.4W?

A. 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 ports at 15.4W

for maximum powered-device support. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24LT-L24 has 24 10/100

ports with 8 simultaneous full-powered PoE ports at 15.4W. For support of higher than 15.4W,

Cisco Catalyst 3560-E and 3750-E Series Switches are recommended.

Q. Does the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series support standards-based Power over Ethernet?

A. 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 prestandard Power over Ethernet (inline power).

Q. Can the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series provide power to IEEE 802.3af and Cisco

prestandard Power over Ethernet simultaneously?

A. Yes. It automatically detects the endpoint to provide the appropriate power without any user

intervention.

Q. What are the advantages of Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with the LAN Base

software relative to Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with the LAN Lite software?

A. Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches deliver intelligent services for branch offices and

wiring closets. The LAN Base Cisco IOS

Software supports enhanced Layer 2+ security,

quality of service (QoS), availability, and scalable management to enable new converged

applications. Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches include both 10/100 Fast Ethernet and

10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in 8-, 24-, and 48-port configurations.

Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite switches are for entry-level branch office and wiring closet

networks. They simplify the migration from nonintelligent hubs and unmanaged switches to a

fully scalable and reliable network. The LAN Lite Cisco IOS Software supports standard Layer

2 security, QoS, and availability while lowering the network total cost of ownership. Cisco

Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite switches deliver 10/100 Fast Ethernet connectivity in 24- and 48-port

configurations.

All Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches have technical support service options available

through Cisco SMARTNet

service. All come with a limited lifetime hardware warranty, and

LAN Base and LAN Lite software updates are provided at no additional cost.
