Security Management

Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) support enables the 2960-XR switches to offer security management for all

devices connected to it.

Figure 4. Fanless Quiet Cool 24-Port PoE Switch

The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series adds a new member to its 2960-X family, the WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L (Cool). This

is a 24-port 10M/100M/1000M switch that can power up to 8 ports of PoE (first eight ports only) with ability to

deliver a sum total of 110W of PoE power. This switch has four Gigabit Ethernet uplinks: two of them SFP and the

other two 10M/100M/1000M copper interfaces enabling choice of fiber or copper connectivity to the aggregation

point. This switch ships with the Cisco IOS LAN Base image.

Some important 2960-X “cool” switch highlights are:

●

Extends a highly secure, intelligent, managed Cisco Catalyst infrastructure with a single Ethernet cable or

fiber from the wiring closet

●

Support for advanced security and intelligent services, including Netflow-Lite and Switch Hibernation,

including voice, video, AP powering, and Cisco Enterprise Network services to remote endpoints

●

Less than 12” depth fit in user work spaces where multiple cable runs could be challenging with very low

power consumption and heat dissipation

●

Higher MTBF rates due to no moving mechanical parts, no fans help ensure that 2960X cool switch is

convenient to be used for colocated applications

●

Easy to deploy using smart-install, configure with auto-smart-ports and device sensors and manage using

Cisco Prime or CNA

2960-X Cool Switch Use Cases

Retail

Major retailers are increasingly moving customer-facing IP-based applications and services to the middle of the

sales floor or POS that is far away from their access router that connects the retail outlets to the outside network. A

typical retail outlet needs to serve customers at multiple sales points, each with a POS machine, phone, printer, or

video display with network and some PoE powering. Because of their quiet operation and ability to cater to up to 24

ports with flexible mounting options, these switches are ideally suited for mounting in confined spaces on the floor.
