Cisco WS-C2960XR-24TD-I | Catalyst 2960-XR 24-Port Gigabit Switch, 2x 10G SFP+, IP Lite

Q: Does the WS-C2960XR-24TD-I support Power over Ethernet?
A: No, this model does not support PoE. It is a non-PoE switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2x 10G SFP+ uplinks. For PoE requirements, consider the WS-C2960XR-24PS-I or WS-C2960XR-48FPS-I models in the same series.

Q: What Layer 3 routing features are included with IP Lite?
A: The IP Lite feature set includes static routing, RIPv1/v2, OSPF stub routing, EIGRP stub routing, policy-based routing (PBR), HSRP, VRRP, and PIM routing protocols. It supports up to 26,750 IPv4 routes and 192 routed ports per stack, making it suitable for basic Layer 3 access deployments.

Q: Can this switch be stacked with other Catalyst 2960-X or 2960-XR models?
A: Yes, the WS-C2960XR-24TD-I supports FlexStack-Plus stacking with up to 8 switches per stack and 80 Gbps stack bandwidth. It can stack with other 2960-XR models using the optional FlexStack-Plus module (sold separately). The switch can also use FlexStack-Extended for lower-cost stacking with 40 Gbps bandwidth.

Q: What is the difference between the 2960-X and 2960-XR series?
A: The 2960-XR series includes field-replaceable modular power supplies with support for redundant secondary power supplies, while 2960-X models have fixed power supplies. The 2960-XR series is only available with IP Lite software for Layer 3 routing, whereas 2960-X models offer LAN Base or LAN Lite feature sets.

Q: Is FlexStack-Plus hardware included or sold separately?
A: FlexStack-Plus stacking modules are sold separately and must be purchased as optional accessories. Each switch requires a stacking module to participate in a stack. The modular design allows you to add stacking capability when needed.
