Catalyst 2960 and 2960-S Switches Software Configuration Guide, Release 15.0(1)SE
OL-26520-01
Chapter 1 Overview
Features
• Supports the third-party UPoE power device that complies with Cisco Catalyst 3000 switches.
• Sources up to 60 W of power by configuring the 4-pair forced mode interface even if the power
device does not support the Layer-2 power negotiation protocol, such as CDP or LLDP.
• Supports 60 W of power per port, up to 30 ports, on a 48-port SKU or a total power budget of 1800
W with a combination of PoE, PoE+, and UPoE ports.
For more information on UPoE, see Universal Power Over Ethernet, page 12-11.
Note Only Catalyst 2960-C switches support Universal Power over Ethernet.
Monitoring Features
• Switch LEDs that provide port- and switch-level status
• Switch LEDs that provide port-, switch-, and stack-level status
• MAC address notification traps and RADIUS accounting for tracking users on a network by storing
the MAC addresses that the switch has learned or removed
• Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and Remote SPAN (RSPAN) for traffic monitoring on any port or
VLAN
• SPAN and RSPAN support of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to monitor, repel, and report
network security violations
• Four groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events) of embedded RMON agents for network
monitoring and traffic analysis
• Syslog facility for logging system messages about authentication or authorization errors, resource
issues, and time-out events.
• Layer 2 traceroute to identify the physical path that a packet takes from a source device to a
destination device
• Time Domain Reflector (TDR) to diagnose and resolve cabling problems on 10/100 and
10/100/1000 copper Ethernet ports
• SFP module diagnostic management interface to monitor physical or operational status of an SFP
module
• Generic online diagnostics to test hardware functionality of the supervisor engine, modules, and
switch while the switch is connected to a live network(Catalyst 2960-S only).
• On-board failure logging (OBFL) to collect information about the switch and the power supplies
connected to it (Catalyst 2960-S only)
• IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLAs) responder support that allows the switch to be a target
device for IP SLAs active traffic monitoring
Note To use IP SLAs, the switch must be running the LAN Base image.
