Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configuration across
all switches.
●
For enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis, the embedded remote monitoring (RMON)
software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events).
●
Layer 2 trace route eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a packet takes from source
to destination.
●
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by downloading
from a centralized location.
●
Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all intranet switches.
Power Management
The 2960-L switches offer a range of industry-leading features for effective energy efficiency and energy
management.
●
IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) enables ports to dynamically sense idle periods between
traffic bursts and quickly switch the interfaces into a low- power idle mode, reducing power consumption.
●
Cisco EnergyWise
®
policies can be used to control the power consumed by PoE-powered endpoints,
desktop and data-center IT equipment, and a wide range of building infrastructure. Cisco EnergyWise
technology is included on all Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches. For more information about Cisco
EnergyWise technology, visit cisco.com/go/energywise.
Network Management
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches offer a superior CLI for detailed configuration and administration. 2960-
L Series Switches are also supported in the full range of Cisco network management solutions.
●
Cisco Prime

network. Cisco Prime technology integrates hardware and software platform expertise and operational
experience into a powerful set of workflow-driven configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, reporting, and
administrative tools.
●
Cisco Network Plug and Play provides a simple, secure, unified, and integrated offering for enterprise
network customers to ease new branch or campus device rollouts or for provisioning updates to an existing
network with a near zero-touch deployment experience.
●
Web UI on the 2960-L allows for easy and quick installation, configuration management, and monitoring of
the switch.
