Frequently asked questions about this product
Are the 24 ports of the Catalyst 2960-24LT-L Gigabit?
No: they are 10/100 Mbps. Only the two dual-purpose SFP ports go faster. This is the point to check before connecting recent workstations or cameras: 100 Mbps remains the ceiling on the access ports.
What are this switch's two dual-purpose ports?
Two ports that can be used as copper or SFP fibre, never both at once: they serve as uplinks to the network core, over fibre as soon as the distance exceeds the reach of copper.
How is this switch managed remotely?
Through SNMP v1, v2c and v3, Telnet and HTTP, with RMON groups 1, 2, 3 and 9 for reporting statistics. Access is protected by SSL, and authentication relies on RADIUS, TACACS+ or SSH2.
Which switching standards does this model support?
The Layer 2 essentials: 802.1Q VLANs, 802.1D Spanning Tree, 802.1w RSTP and 802.1s MSTP, 802.3ad link aggregation, 802.3x flow control, 802.1p prioritisation and 802.1X port-based access control.
What does this switch's LAN Lite software image mean?
It is the entry-level version of the Cisco software supplied with this model: it covers Layer 2 switching, VLANs and quality of service, but not the advanced routing features of the higher images. The switch remains a Layer 2 device.
How much rack space does this switch take up?
445 × 332 × 44 mm and 5.4 kg: 1U high, but 33 cm deep and fairly heavy. Check the usable depth of the rack before mounting it, and use rails rather than mounting it by the front brackets alone.
Is the switch new and covered by a warranty?
Yes, new equipment, with the invoice serving as the warranty document. This is the Cisco Catalyst 2960-24LT-L, a Layer 2 access switch with 64 MB of internal memory and 32 MB of flash memory.
Layer 2 Gigabit switch for SMEs, with PoE+ ports to power cameras and Wi-Fi access points, plus SFP fibre links. Silent rackable format, driven through UniFi Network.
Managed switch that powers up to 24 devices (cameras, Wi-Fi access points, IP phones) over the network cable, with a 400 W PoE+ budget. Uplinks at 2.5 Gbps for recent access points.
Aruba Instant On switch for small businesses: full L2+ managed from the mobile app, the cloud portal or a local web interface, with a more measured PoE budget for flexible deployment of Wi-Fi access points and IP cameras.
Managed switch that keeps your PoE equipment powered even during a restart (perpetual PoE), for continuity of service on critical cameras or Wi-Fi access points. Configurable through the HUAWEI eKit App cloud or locally.
48 Gigabit ports, half of them PoE+ (ports 1 to 24), for mixed SME or campus deployments — simplified control from the Aruba Instant On app, with no subscription.
•24 of the 48 ports in PoE+ (802.3at), ports 1 to 24
Managed access switch designed for SMEs and branch offices: powers workstations, Wi-Fi access points and IP cameras over Power over Ethernet, with centralised control from Aruba Central and automated deployment.
•Managed via Aruba Central (cloud or on-premise), web GUI, CLI and REST API
•PoE+ up to 30 W per port (IEEE 802.3af/at, class 4)
Fast PoE instantly powers cameras, Wi-Fi access points and IP phones over the network cable, with no break on restart. Four 10G links absorb traffic to the network core. Web, cloud app or command line control, built-in DoS/802.1X security.
