Cisco-Catalyst C2960X-48LPS-L
The Cisco Catalyst C2960X-48LPS-L is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet managed PoE+ switch designed for enterprise access-layer, branch, campus, and small-to-medium business networks. It provides 48 × 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with PoE+, along with 4 × 1G SFP uplink interfaces, Layer 2 switching, IPv6 support, QoS, security features, and FlexStack-Plus stacking capabilities.
Description
The Cisco Catalyst C2960X-48LPS-L is part of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series, a family of enterprise-class fixed-configuration switches designed for reliable and secure access-layer connectivity.
The switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, with PoE+ support for powering compatible devices directly through Ethernet cabling. This makes it suitable for deploying IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, IoT devices, and other PoE-enabled endpoints without requiring separate power adapters for each device.
In addition to its copper access ports, the C2960X-48LPS-L provides four 1 Gigabit SFP uplink ports, allowing fiber connectivity to aggregation switches, distribution layers, servers, or other network infrastructure.
The switch operates with Cisco IOS Software and provides extensive Layer 2 switching capabilities, including VLANs, 802.1Q trunking, STP/RSTP/MST, EtherChannel, and VLAN management. It also supports basic static Layer 3 routing capabilities, depending on the installed software and configuration.
The FlexStack-Plus architecture allows compatible Catalyst 2960-X switches to be stacked together, providing centralized management and increased network scalability. Up to eight compatible switches can be combined within a stack, with stacking bandwidth of up to 80 Gbps.
Security features include 802.1X authentication, port security, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, MAC address security, and access-control lists, helping administrators control access and protect connected devices.
The switch also provides advanced QoS functionality for prioritizing voice, video, business-critical applications, and other latency-sensitive traffic.
