•Scalability and stackability of the switch (Cisco Catalyst 2960-24S)
•Only one type of switch required (Cisco C2960 Series)
•No external routing device required for routing between OnAir Control-
and Livewire network (done by Cisco C2960-24)
•Cisco C2960G-8 has no fan
Disadvantages •High Costs as at least two switches are required
•Cisco C2960-24 has a fan (but is usually installed in a machine room)
•No redundant power supply available for Cisco C2960G-8
We recommend using the manageable switch Cisco WS-C2960-24TC-L
(Master) and the Cisco WS-C2960G-8TC-L. Basic configuration files are
provided by STUDER.
Customer switch configurations for this type of network topology are avail-
able for
•Cisco 2960-24 (master)
•Cisco 2960-8

9.4.2.1.2 Single-Console Solution
This Single-Console setup is very similar to the Multi-Console setup of chap-
ter 9.4.2.1.1. The smaller and cheaper Cisco C2960G-8 is also able to do IP
Routing, enable MVR and so on. It can be used in the same way as described
above in chapter 9.4.2.1.1.
The DHCP server on the Cisco C2960G-8 (Master) is disabled. OA consoles
must be configured with fix IP addresses.
Advantages •Lower price for one or two consoles
