WS-C2960S-48LPS-L (USED)

Does the 10 Gigabit uplink upgrade require a separate module?

No. The SFP+ and SFP slots are built in.

Can I have different Cisco Catalyst 2960-S or 2960-SF models in the same FlexStack?

Yes. All Catalyst 2960-S or 2960-SF models that run the LAN Base image can be stacked together. Cisco Catalyst 2960-S or 2960-SF switches that run LAN Lite cannot be stacked.

Do Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960-SF Series Switches use a spanning tree across the stack?

No. FlexStack uses a formula based on the shortest path to help ensure that packets that need to be sent to all stack members are forwarded to all members but that no member sees the same packet twice. It’s not Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) but is based on the master’s computation of the shortest path.

Can I stack a Cisco Catalyst 2960-S with the 2960-SF in the same stack?

Yes. Both these families support FlexStack and can be in the same stack.

How can I monitor or track activities in my network?

The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960-SF Series can complement an IDS or firewall with features such as MAC address notification, which sends an alert to a management station so that network administrators know when and where users come onto the network and can take appropriate action. The DHCP Interface Tracker (option 82) feature tracks where a user is physically connected on a network by providing both switch and port ID to a DHCP server. DHCP snooping enables the administrator to keep track of both dynamic and static IP/MAC mapping tables.

Do I need a software license for the WS-C2960S-48LPS-L?

No. Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960-SF Series Switches use the Universal image, but no license is required. The feature is bound to the hardware model type and cannot be changed. For convenience, a single software image is used for all Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960-SF Series Switches, regardless of whether they are a LAN Base or LAN Lite model.

Can I upgrade or downgrade a Cisco Catalyst 2960-S or 2960-SF Series Switch between the LAN Base and LAN Lite images?

No. Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches cannot be upgraded from LAN Lite to LAN Base and cannot be downgraded from LAN Base to LAN Lite.

Does the WS-C2960S-48LPS-L has redundant power supply (RPS) support?

Yes, the WS-C2960S-48LPS-L has RPS support

What is Cisco FlexStack stacking?

Cisco FlexStack is a hot-swappable, modular stacking solution that provides a true stacking capability, with all switches acting as a single switching unit with a unified data plane, using a single IP address. Cisco FlexStack is supported by the Catalyst 2960-S and 2960-SF series and allows the stacking of up to four switches, with a throughput of 20 gigabits per second.

How many fans do the WS-C2960S-48LPS-L switch has?

The Catalyst 2960-S 2960S-48LPS-L just have one blower (just one fun can not be replaceable)in the center rear.
