Connecting the FlexStack Cables

Table- or Shelf-Mounting

To install the switch on a table or shelf, locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet in the mounting-kit envelope. Attach the four rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the chassis. Place the switch on the table or shelf near an AC power source.

When you complete the switch installation, see the “After Switch Installation” section on page 2-17for information on switch configuration.

After Switch Installation

Configure the switch by running Express Setup to enter the initial switch configuration. See the switch getting started guide in the “Related Publications” section.

Use the CLI setup program to enter the initial switch configuration. See Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Connect to the stack ports. See the “Connecting the FlexStack Cables” section on page 2-17.

Install the power cord retainer (optional). See the “Installing the Power Cord Retainer (Optional)” section on page 2-18.

Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Installing SFP and SFP+ Modules” section on page 2-20, the “10/100 and 10/100/1000 PoE+ Port Connections” section on page 2-24, and the “10/100 and 10/100/1000 Port Connections” section on page 2-26.

Connecting the FlexStack Cables

Always use a Cisco-approved FlexStack cable to connect the switches.

Note Connect only Catalyst 2960-S switches in a switch stack.

Step 1 Remove the dust covers from the FlexStack cables, and store them for future use.

Cisco Systems 2960 series switches are a prominent solution in the networking landscape, known for their reliability, scalability, and feature-rich offerings. Ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises, these switches provide a robust foundation for network infrastructure, ensuring optimal performance and connectivity.

One of the standout features of the Cisco 2960 series is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. The switches support multiple VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), allowing network administrators to segment traffic efficiently and enhance security protocols. This is crucial in modern networks where managing traffic and isolating sensitive information is a priority.

The Cisco 2960 series also incorporates advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, enabling the prioritization of critical applications and services. This functionality ensures that time-sensitive data, such as voice and video traffic, maintains a high quality of service even in congested networks. With support for IEEE 802.1p and DSCP marking, administrators can fine-tune their network performance to meet specific organizational needs.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another significant characteristic of the Cisco 2960 series. This feature allows switches to deliver electrical power alongside data over Ethernet cables to devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. With PoE, organizations can reduce clutter from power cables and increase deployment flexibility for various devices.

In terms of security, the Cisco 2960 series is equipped with a range of integrated security features. The switch supports port security, 802.1X authentication, and Access Control Lists (ACLs), providing robust defenses against unauthorized access and potential network vulnerabilities. These security measures are essential for protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

Moreover, the Cisco 2960 series offers enhanced network management capabilities with Cisco's Intelligent Network Services. This includes support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Cisco Prime, and Embedded Event Manager (EEM), allowing for efficient monitoring, troubleshooting, and policy enforcement across the network.

Additionally, the Cisco 2960 switches provide various models and configurations, catering to different networking needs. Options include models with varying port densities, uplink configurations, and stacking capabilities, making it easy for organizations to choose solutions that align perfectly with their requirements.

In summary, the Cisco 2960 series is a versatile and essential component of modern networking environments. Its advanced features, including Layer 2 support, QoS, PoE, robust security, and diverse management tools, make it an excellent choice for organizations looking to build a strong and secure network infrastructure.
