Product Review

The Cisco WS-C2960S-48TS-L offers 48 Ethernet interfaces and four SFP uplink interfaces, supporting a diverse range of connectivity needs for medium to large network environments. However, the switch is limited by its LAN Base IOS software feature set and lacks Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, which could restrict deployment options for environments requiring PoE for devices such as IP cameras and phones. Additionally, its forwarding rate of 77.4 Mpps and switching bandwidth of 176 Gbps ensure efficient data handling, making it suitable for high-demand applications, though the relatively low DRAM and Flash memory may not be optimal for complex configurations or future software updates.

Overview

The Cisco WS-C2960S-48TS-L is a switch designed to support enterprise-level networks with demanding data and throughput requirements. It features 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces for high-speed connectivity and data transfer across the network. Additionally, it is equipped with 4 uplink interfaces, utilizing the SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) module type, providing flexibility and scalability in network design and connectivity. This model runs on the Cisco IOS Software LAN Base feature set, delivering essential networking capabilities and services for a wide range of applications. Despite its extensive feature set, it does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE), indicating its specialization in data connectivity over power delivery to connected devices. Performance-wise, the WS-C2960S-48TS-L boasts a forwarding rate of 77.4 million packets per second (Mpps) and a forwarding bandwidth of 88 Gbps, ensuring efficient handling of data packets. The switching bandwidth is double the forwarding bandwidth at 176 Gbps, enabling high-speed data processing and transfer across the network. This switch supports up to 255 active VLANs, with a VLAN ID range extending to 4000, offering vast configuration flexibility for network segmentation and management. For networks requiring transmission of larger data packets, this switch supports a maximum Layer 3 packet MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of 9198 bytes and jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, facilitating efficient data transfer and reduced overhead for large file transmissions. The physical dimensions of the Cisco WS-C2960S-48TS-L are compact, with a height of 1.75 inches, a width of 17.5 inches, and a depth of 11.8 inches, making it suitable for rack mounting in standard equipment racks. It weighs 10.5 lbs, allowing for relatively easy installation and handling. Despite its power, it maintains a sound pressure level of 44 dB and a sound power of 5.4 B, balancing performance with a moderate noise level. - FlexStack stacking is optional, providing the flexibility to increase port density and redundancy through easy stacking with other compatible switches. - The switch is designed for long-term reliability, evidenced by its Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 328,058 hours. - It comes equipped with 128 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of Flash memory, supporting the operating system and configuration files. The operational environment specifications ensure that the switch can perform in a variety of conditions. It operates within a temperature range of -5 °C to 40 °C at an altitude of up to 10,000 feet, and a relative humidity range of 10% to 95% noncondensing. Storage temperature ranges from -25 °C to 70 °C, allowing for flexibility in non-operational conditions. In summary, the Cisco WS-C2960S-48TS-L is a feature-rich, scalable switch designed for medium to large scale enterprise networks. Its performance specifications, combined with operational flexibility and environmental resilience, make it a suitable choice for organizations seeking reliable, high-speed network connectivity and data transfer capabilities.
