Preface
Audience
The Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Software Configuration Guide is for the network manager
responsible for configuring the Catalyst 2950 switches, hereafter referred to as the switches. Before
using this guide, you should be familiar with the concepts and terminology of Ethernet and local area
networking.
Purpose
This guide provides information about configuring and troubleshooting a switch or switch clusters. It
includes descriptions of the management interface options and the features supported by the switch
software. The Catalyst 2950 switch is supported by either the standard software image or the enhanced
software image. The enhanced software image provides a richer set of features, including access control
lists (ACLs) and enhanced quality of service (QoS) features.
The enhanced software image supports these switches:
• Catalyst 2950C-24
• Catalyst 2950G-12-EI
• Catalyst 2950G-24-EI
• Catalyst 2950G-24-EI-DC
• Catalyst 2950G-48-EI
• Catalyst 2950T-24
The standard software image supports these switches:
• Catalyst 2950-12
• Catalyst 2950-24
Use this guide with other documents for information about these topics:
• Requirements—This guide assumes that you have met the hardware and software requirements and
cluster compatibility requirements described in the release notes.
• Start-up information—This guide assumes that you have assigned switch IP information and
passwords by using the setup program described in the release notes.
