Cisco WS-C2960XR-48FPS-I | Catalyst 2960-XR 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, 740W, 4x 1G SFP

Q: What Layer 3 routing features does the IP Lite feature set include?
A: The IP Lite feature set on the WS-C2960XR-48FPS-I includes RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF stub, EIGRP stub, HSRP, VRRP, PIM stub, and policy-based routing. It supports IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols including EIGRPv3 stub and PIMv6 stub, providing enterprise-level Layer 3 capabilities for access layer deployments.

Q: Can this switch be stacked with other Catalyst 2960 models?
A: The WS-C2960XR-48FPS-I can stack with other Catalyst 2960-XR series switches with the IP Lite feature set only, supporting up to 8 units with 80 Gbps stack bandwidth via FlexStack-Plus. It cannot stack with 2960-X LAN Base or LAN Lite models, as stacking is restricted to switches with matching feature sets.

Q: How much PoE power can this switch deliver per port?
A: The switch supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ delivering up to 30W per port and IEEE 802.3af PoE delivering 15.4W per port. With a total PoE budget of 740W, it can power 24 ports at 30W each or all 48 ports at 15.4W each, making it ideal for high-density IP phone and wireless access point deployments.

Q: Does the IP Lite feature set require a separate license?
A: No separate license is required. The IP Lite feature set is bound to the hardware model and comes pre-configured. All Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR switches use a single universal Cisco IOS image, and the feature set automatically activates based on the switch model.

Q: What is the benefit of the dual modular power supply support?
A: The 2960-XR series includes a field-replaceable modular primary power supply and can accommodate a second redundant power supply. When both supplies are installed, the switch shares the load between them for continuous operation and enhanced power resiliency, ideal for mission-critical deployments.
