Cisco FlexStack
Cisco FlexStack provides stacking of up to four 2960-S switches through an optional module (Figure 2).

The FlexStack stack module is hot-swappable and can be added to any Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switch with LAN
Base software. Switches connected to a stack will automatically upgrade to the stack’s Cisco IOS Software version
and transparently join the stack without additional intervention.

Cisco FlexStack and Cisco IOS Software provide true stacking, with all switches in a stack acting as a single switch
unit. FlexStack provides a unified data plane, unified configuration, and single IP address for switch management.
The advantages of true stacking include lower total cost of ownership and higher availability through simplified
management and cross-stack features including EtherChannel, SPAN, and FlexLink. Note that cross-stack
features must be disabled before removing the stack module from an active stack member switch.

FlexStack also allows mixed stacking: 2960-S and 2960-SF switches can be combined to provide a combination of
Gigabit and Fast Ethernet ports in a single switch stack.

Figure 2. Cisco FlexStack Switch Stack

Power over Ethernet Plus - PoE+

Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switches support both IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up
to 30W per port) to deliver lower total cost of ownership for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones, Cisco

 Aironet® wireless access points, or other standards-compliant PoE/PoE+ end devices. PoE removes the need to
supply wall power to PoE-enabled devices and eliminates the cost of adding electrical cabling and circuits that
would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments. Table 2 shows the total PoE/PoE+ power
available in each 2960-S model.

Intelligent power management allows flexible power allocation across all ports.

Network Security
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches provide a range of security features to limit access to the network and
mitigate threats, including:

● Features to control access to the network, including Flexible Authentication, 802.1x Monitor Mode, and
RADIUS Change of Authorization
● Cisco SXP to simplify security and policy enforcement throughout the network
● Threat defense features including Port Security, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source Guard
● IPv6 First-Hop Security to protect against rogue router advertisements, spoofing, and other risks introduced
by IPv6

Enhanced Quality of Service

The Cisco 2960-S Series Switches offers intelligent traffic management that keeps everything flowing smoothly.
Flexible mechanisms for marking, classification, and scheduling deliver superior performance for data, voice, and
video traffic, all at wire speed. Primary QoS features include:

● Four egress queues per port and strict priority queuing so that the highest priority packets are serviced
ahead of all other traffic
● Shaped Round Robin (SRR) scheduling and Weighted Tail Drop (WTD) congestion avoidance
● Flow-based rate limiting and up to 64 aggregate or individual policers per port
● 802.1p class of service (CoS) and differentiated services code point (DSCP) field classification, with
marking and reclassification on a per-packet basis by source and destination IP address, MAC address, or
Layer 4 TCP/UDP port number
● Cross-stack QoS to allow QoS to be configured across a stack of 2960-S switches

 Cisco Catalyst SmartOperations
Cisco Catalyst SmartOperations is a comprehensive set of capabilities that simplify LAN planning, deployment,
monitoring, and troubleshooting. Deploying SmartOperations tools reduces the time and effort required to operate
the network and lowers total cost of ownership (TCO).

● Cisco Smart Install enables zero-touch deployment by providing automated Cisco IOS Software image
installation and configuration when new switches are connected to the network.
● Cisco Auto Smartports enables automatic configuration of switch ports as devices connect to the switch,
with settings optimized for the device type.
● Cisco Smart Troubleshooting is an extensive array of diagnostic commands and system health checks
within the switch, including Smart Call Home.

 Note: The wattage rating on the power supply does not represent actual power draw. It indicates the maximum power draw
possible by the power supply. This rating can be used for facility capacity planning. For PoE switches, cooling requirements are
smaller than total power draw as a significant portion of the load is dissipated in the endpoints.

Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty

Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches come with an enhanced limited lifetime warranty (E-LLW). The E-LLW
provides the same terms as Cisco’s standard limited lifetime warranty but adds next business day delivery of
replacement hardware, where available, and 90 days of 8X5 Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support.

Your formal warranty statement, including the warranty applicable to Cisco software, appears in the Cisco
information packet that accompanies your Cisco product. We encourage you to review carefully the warranty
statement shipped with your specific product before use. Cisco reserves the right to refund the purchase price as
its exclusive warranty remedy. For further information about warranty terms, visit http://www.cisco.com/go/warranty
