❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
🔹 Is this Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switch compatible with my existing network infrastructure?
Yes, the WS-C2960S-48TS-S is a fully manageable switch compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards, compatible with all network equipment on the market: routers, firewalls, NAS, servers, Wi-Fi access points, IP phones. Its 48 Gigabit auto-MDI/MDI-X ports work with any RJ-45 Cat5e/Cat6 cabling, and its SFP ports accept fiber optic or copper modules for high-availability uplink connections to your core network or core switch.
🔹 What is the difference between the LAN Lite (SI) and LAN Base (LI) versions on the 2960-S range?
The LAN Lite (SI) version of Cisco IOS offers all essential Layer 2 features for a professional network: VLAN management (802.1Q), QoS, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP), link aggregation (EtherChannel/802.3ad), broadcast storm control, SNMP, SSH, and console access. The LAN Base (LI) version adds Layer 3 capabilities (static IP routing). For nearly all access and distribution switching deployments in SMEs, the LAN Lite version is more than sufficient and offers an excellent performance/cost ratio.
🔹 Does this switch support PoE (Power over Ethernet) to power IP phones or cameras?
No, the WS-C2960S-48TS-S model does not have PoE or PoE+. If you need to power IP devices (Cisco phones, IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points) via the network cable, you should use external IEEE 802.3af/at PoE injectors or choose a Catalyst 2960-S switch with built-in PoE power supply (models with the "P" suffix like 48LPS-L or 48FPS-L). This TS-S model is ideal for connecting workstations, servers, and equipment that do not require power over the network cable.
🔹 Is it possible to create a stack with this switch to increase the number of available ports?
The WS-C2960S-48TS-S has an expansion slot compatible with the Cisco FlexStack module (sold separately, reference C2960S-STACK=). This stacking system allows grouping up to 4 Catalyst 2960-S switches into a single logical unit, managed by a single configuration, with stack bandwidth up to 20 Gbps. It is an ideal solution for progressive network scaling without changing the logical architecture or replacing existing equipment.
🔹 How to access the management interface of this Cisco switch to configure it?
The switch offers several management modes: via console access through the RJ-45 Console port or the mini-USB port (with console cable and software like PuTTY/SecureCRT), or remotely via SSH/Telnet after configuring a management IP address on the dedicated VLAN. A minimal web interface (HTTP) is also available. Initial configuration must be done via the console port with a serial terminal (9600 baud). Reminder: no configuration technical support is provided with this sale.
🔹 What are the delivery times and warranty conditions offered?
The equipment is shipped quickly and securely, with a carrier tracking number provided upon dispatch. A 30-day hardware warranty is included: returns are accepted in case of proven malfunction. A professional VAT 0% invoice in paper format is included in each package. This warranty exclusively covers the hardware — any issues related to Cisco IOS software configuration, firmware updates, or integration into your network are the buyer's responsibility.
