Cisco 2960 Series 24-Port Power over Ethernet Switch

• Twenty-four 10/100-Mbps PoE ports providing up to 15.4 W per port (370 W total) for desktop, wireless access point, IP telephony, or closed-circuit TV camera connectivity
• Two dual-purpose uplink ports, each having one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port and one small form-factor pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Ethernet port, with one active at a time

The switch's LAN Base IOS software includes a rich Layer 2+ suite of intelligent services, including advanced quality of service (QoS), granular rate limiting, access control lists (ACLs), and multicast services.

There are two options for switch management: an embedded GUI device manager for all operating systems or the Windows-based Cisco Network Assistant available at no cost from the Cisco website.

Security is delivered through a wide range of authentication methods, data encryption technologies, and Network Admission Control (NAC) based on users, ports, and MAC addresses. Cisco TrustSec prevents unauthorized access and helps ensure that users get only their designated privileges.
