Product Overview

The Catalyst 2960 switch—also referred to as the switch—is an Ethernet switch to which you can connect devices such as workstations, Cisco Wireless Access Points, Cisco IP Phones, and other network devices including servers, routers, and other switches. This chapter provides a functional overview of the Catalyst 2960 switch. These topics are included:

• Features, page 1-1

• Front Panel Description, page 1-4

• Rear Panel Description, page 1-19

• Management Options, page 1-22

You can deploy the 24- and 48-port Catalyst 2960 switches as backbone switches, aggregating 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet traffic from other network devices. The Catalyst 2960 8-port compact switches provide the same Ethernet connectivity, but you can deploy these switches outside of the traditional wiring closet environment, such as in office workspaces and classrooms. See the switch software configuration guide for deployment examples.

Table 1 -1 describes the switch model features.

The first member of the pair (port 1) is above the second member (port 2), port 3 is above port 4, and so on. The SFP module slots are numbered 21 to 24 on the Catalyst 2960G-24TC-L switch and 45 to 48 on the Catalyst 2960G-48TC-L switch. See Figure 1-15 and Figure 1-16.

The Catalyst 2960G-24TC-L and Catalyst 2960G-48TC-L switches have dual-purpose ports, meaning ports 21 to 24 or 45 to 48 can use either the SFP module or the RJ-45 connector for that port, but not both. Use the software to set the connector type for these ports. For more information about the dual-purpose port, see the “Dual-Purpose Port” section on page 1-13.

2 10/100/1000 ports

You can set the 10/100 ports to operate at 10 or 100 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can also set these ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation. The default setting is autonegotiate. When the port is set to autonegotiate, it senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best connection (that is, the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters).

100BASE-TX traffic requires a Category 5 or higher cable. 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 cables.

When you connect the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, be sure that the cable is a straight-through cable. When you connect the switch to switches or hubs, use a crossover cable. Pinouts for the cables are described in Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”

You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the command-line interface (CLI) to enable the auto-MDIX feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100/1000 or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.

10/100/1000 Ports

You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can also set these ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation. (The default setting is autonegotiate.) When you set the port for autonegotiation, it senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best connection (that is, the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters).

100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires a Category 5 or higher cable. 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 cables.

When you connect the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, be sure that the cable is a straight-through cable. When you connect the switch to switches or hubs, use a crossover cable. When using a straight-through or crossover cable for 1000BASE-T connections, be sure to use a twisted

four-pair, Category 5 or higher cable for proper operation. Pinouts for the cables are described in

Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”

You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100/1000 or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.

PoE Ports (Only Catalyst 2960 PoE Switches)

This section applies only to the Catalyst 2960-24PC-L, 2960-24LT-L, 2960-24PC-S, 2960-24LC-S, 2960 48PST-L, and 2960-48PST-S switches.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Warning

Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security.

Statement 1072

2960-48PST-L, 2960-Plus 48PST-S, 2960-48PST-S, 2960-Plus 24PC-S, and 2960-24PC-S, switches and ports 1 to 8 of the 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 2960-24LT-L, 2960-Plus 24LC-L, 2960-Plus 24LC-S, and 2960-24LC-S switches provide PoE support for devices that are compliant with IEEE

802.3af. The Cisco prestandard PoE is also supported for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.

• Each of the PoE ports on the Catalyst 2960 switches deliver up to 15.4 W of PoE.

The Catalyst 2960-Plus 24PC-L, 2960-24PC-L, 2960-Plus 48PST-L, 2960-48PST-L, 2960-Plus 48PST-S, 2960-48PST-S, 2960-Plus 24PC-S, and 2960-24PC-S switches deliver a maximum power output of approximately 370-W PoE power.

The Catalyst 2960-24LT-L, 2960-Plus 24LC-L, 2960-Plus 24LC-S, and 2960-24LC-S switches deliver a maximum power output of approximately 124-W PoE power.

• On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a Catalyst 2960 PoE port automatically provides

power when an IP phone or an access point is connected. The device manager, Network Assistant, and the CLI provide PoE settings for each 10/100 PoE port:

–

Auto: When you select the Auto setting, the port provides power only if a valid powered device, such as an IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered device, a Cisco prestandard IP phone, or a Cisco prestandard Cisco access point, is connected. The Auto setting is the default.

1-12

–

Never: When you select the Never setting, the port does not provide power even if a Cisco IP phone or an access point is connected.

OL-7075-09

Chapter 1 Product Overview

• You also can connect a Cisco IP Phone or Cisco Aironet Access Point to a Catalyst 2960 PoE switch

10/100 port and to an AC power source for redundant power. The powered device might switch to the AC power source as its primary power source upon being connected to it. In that case, the PoE port becomes the backup power source for the powered device.

If the primary source fails, the second power source becomes the primary power source to the powered device. During the power transfer, an IP phone might reboot or reestablish link with the switch.

For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the switch software configuration guide. For information about Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points, see the documentation that came with your IP phone or access point.

Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access points that do not fully support IEEE 802.3af, might not support PoE when connected to the switches by a crossover cable.

SFP Module Slots

The Catalyst 2960 switches (other than those listed) use Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules for Gigabit uplink connections and 100-Megabit SFP modules for 100-Megabit connections to establish fiber-optic connections. These Catalyst 2960 switches do not have an SFP module slot:

• Catalyst 2960PD-8TT-L

Front Panel Description

• Catalyst 2960-24LT-L

• Catalyst 2960-24-S

• Catalyst 2960-24TT-L

• Catalyst 2960-48TT-L

• Catalyst 2960-48TT-S

The transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when you insert an SFP module. You can use the SFP modules for Gigabit uplink connections to other switches. You use fiber-optic cables with LC connectors to connect to a fiber-optic SFP module. You use Category 5 or higher cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect to a copper SFP module.

For more information about these SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation or the release notes for your switch software. For more information about cabling requirements, see Appendix B,

“Connector and Cable Specifications.”

Dual-Purpose Port

You can configure a dual-purpose port as either a 10/100/1000 port or as an SFP module port. Each port is considered as a single interface with dual front ends—an RJ-45 connector and an SFP module connector. The dual front ends are not redundant interfaces. The switch activates only one connector of the pair at a time.

By default, the switch dynamically selects the interface type that first links up. However, you can use the media-type interface configuration command to manually select the RJ-45 connector or the SFP module connector. For information about configuring speed and duplex settings for a dual-purpose uplink, see the software configuration guide.

OL-7075-09

Each uplink port has two LEDs: one shows the status of the RJ-45 port, and one shows the status of the SFP module port. The port LED is on the active connector.
