A converged voice and data network has the greatest power availability when a Cisco Catalyst
2960 Series Switch is combined with the Cisco RPS 2300 Redundant Power System for
protection against internal power supply failures and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
system to safeguard against power outages. For more information about the Cisco RPS 2300,

The Cisco Catalyst 2960 compact switches and Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite switches do not
have RPS support.
Q. What are the notable differences between the Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base and LAN
Lite switches?
A. Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches have several advantages:
●
Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in 8-, 24-, and 48-port configurations.
●
RPS support and support for a wide range of SFP transceivers.
●
Enhanced security through Layer 2–4 access control lists (ACLs), DHCP Snooping, and
more extensive Network Admission Control capabilities such as web authentication and
802.1x enhancements.
●
Additional QoS capabilities: The LAN Base Cisco IOS Software supports policing, class and
policy maps, differentiated services code point (DSCP), AutoQoS, and configurable queue
weights, buffers, and thresholds.
●
Higher network-level availability with features such as FlexLinks and Link State Tracking.
●
Increased number of VLANs (256) and other enhancements such as IPv6 Host, MLD
Snooping, LLDP-MED, RSPAN, MVR, DHCP Option 82, and IP SLA (responder).
Q. What are the similarities between the Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base and LAN Lite
switches?
A. Both Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base and LAN Lite switches support the following capabilities:
●
Scalable and highly secure network management: Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Copy Protocol (SCP), and SNMPv3 crypto
●
Network management tool support by CiscoWorks, Cisco Network Assistant, and Cisco
Catalyst Device Manager
●
Baseline Network Admission Control and 802.1x MAC Auth Bypass and Protected Port
●
Voice VLAN and voice-aware port security, BPDU Guard, and Root Guard
●
Standard QoS with Class of Service (CoS) marking, Shaped Round Robin, Weighted Tail
Drop, and Strict Priority scheduling
●
Link aggregation using Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) and 802.3ad LACP
●
Complete Spanning Tree Protocol support using 802.1s, 802.1w, and PVST+
