Features
The Catalyst 2950 switches are a family of Ethernet switches that you can use to
connect workstations and other network devices, such as servers, routers, and
other switches. All models of the switch are cluster-capable, but only some
models are stackable. You can use switches with Gigabit Interface Converter
(GBIC) module slots to create switch stacks by using Gigastack GBICs. Some
switch models can be deployed as backbone switches, aggregating 10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX, Gigabit Ethernet, and Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) traffic from
other switches and network devices. Refer to the switch software configuration
guide for examples that show how you might deploy the switches in your network.
