Cisco WS-C2960X-48TS-LL | Catalyst 2960-X 48-Port Gigabit Switch, 2x 1G SFP, LAN Lite

Q: What is the difference between the LAN Lite and LAN Base versions?
A: The LAN Lite version (WS-C2960X-48TS-LL) does not support FlexStack-Plus stacking, has only 2x 1G SFP uplinks, and provides basic Layer 2 switching features. The LAN Base version (WS-C2960X-48TS-L) offers 4x 1G SFP uplinks, supports stacking up to 8 switches, and includes advanced Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 features like static routing.

Q: Does this switch support Power over Ethernet?
A: No, the WS-C2960X-48TS-LL does not support PoE or PoE+. For PoE support, consider the Catalyst 2960-X PoE+ models such as the WS-C2960X-48LPD-L or WS-C2960X-48FPD-L.

Q: Can this switch be stacked with other Catalyst switches?
A: No, the LAN Lite version does not support FlexStack-Plus stacking and operates only in standalone mode. If stacking capability is required, choose a LAN Base model from the Catalyst 2960-X Series.

Q: What type of redundant power supply options are available?
A: The WS-C2960X-48TS-LL has a single fixed internal power supply and does not support the Cisco RPS 2300 external redundant power supply. For redundant power options, consider the Catalyst 2960-XR Series models.

Q: What are typical deployment scenarios for this switch?
A: This switch is ideal for small branch offices, campus edge access layers, and SMB networks requiring basic Layer 2 switching with Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It provides reliable access switching for connecting end-user devices, IP phones (without PoE), and wireless access points with external injectors.
