Application Visibility
Catalyst 2960-X Series Switches support NetFlow Lite, which enables IT teams to understand the mix of traffic on
their network and identify anomalies by capturing and recording specific packet flows. NetFlow Lite supports
flexible sampling of the traffic, and exports flow data in the NetFlow Version 9 format for analysis on a wide range
of Cisco and third-party collectors.
NetFlow Lite is included on all Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR LAN Base and IP Lite models.
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 services enable minimal-touch deployment by providing automated Cisco IOS
Software image installation and configuration when new switches are connected to the network. This
enables network administrators to remotely manage IOS image installs and upgrades.
Cisco Auto SmartPorts services enable automatic configuration of switch ports as devices connect to the
switch, with settings optimized for the device type resulting in zero-touch port-policy provisioning.
Cisco Auto QoS is a service that automatic configuration of QoS that allows switch to manage QoS
policies based on traffic types resulting in zero-touch traffic engineering.
Cisco Smart Troubleshooting is an extensive array of diagnostic commands and system health checks
within the switch, including Smart Call Home. The Cisco GOLD
®
(Generic Online Diagnostics) and Cisco
online diagnostics on switches in live networks help predicting and detecting failures faster.

Operational Simplicity Features
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot
server eases switch deployment.
Stacking master configuration management and Cisco FlexStack Plus technology helps ensure that all
switches are automatically upgraded when the master switch receives a new software version. Automatic
software version checking and updating help ensure that all stack members have the same software
version.
Autonegotiation on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize
bandwidth.
