Product Features

High-Speed FlexStack-Plus Technology

Firstly, the module supports FlexStack-Plus technology, delivering up to 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, which ensures fast inter-switch communication and reduces latency across stacked switches.

Simplified Network Management

Additionally, the stacking module enables centralized management by allowing administrators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot multiple switches as one device, significantly reducing operational complexity.

Enhanced Scalability

Furthermore, the module supports stacking of multiple Cisco Catalyst 2960X switches, allowing networks to expand easily without requiring additional management overhead or redesign.

Improved Network Resiliency

Meanwhile, FlexStack-Plus provides redundancy and high availability by maintaining network operations even if one switch in the stack experiences a failure.

Seamless Integration

Likewise, the module integrates seamlessly with Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24 switches, ensuring compatibility and stable performance without requiring additional hardware changes.

Enterprise Reliability

Finally, the stacking module includes Cisco’s enhanced limited lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and confidence for enterprise network deployments.

Why Choose the Cisco Catalyst C2960X-STACK= Module

Firstly, it simplifies switch management by consolidating multiple devices into a single logical unit. Additionally, high stacking bandwidth improves performance and responsiveness. Moreover, redundancy features enhance uptime and network stability. Consequently, scalability allows businesses to grow networks without complexity. Ultimately, Cisco-backed reliability ensures consistent and dependable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the primary function of the C2960X-STACK module?
   The C2960X-STACK is a hot-swappable FlexStack-Plus stacking module that allows you to connect multiple Cisco Catalyst 2960-X series switches into a single logical unit. Furthermore, by installing this module in the rear slot of your switch, you enable a unified data plane and a single point of management for your entire switch stack.

2. How many switches can be joined using the C2960X-STACK?
   This module allows you to stack up to 8 individual Catalyst 2960-X or 2960-XR switches together. Consequently, you can manage up to 384 Ethernet ports as one system, which significantly simplifies network administration and reduces the complexity of managing multiple IP addresses across your infrastructure.

3. What is the data throughput capacity of the FlexStack-Plus connection?
   The C2960X-STACK module delivers up to 80 Gbps of stack bandwidth when configured in a full-ring topology. Because it provides high-speed, low-latency communication between member switches, it ensures that local traffic and inter-switch data transfers occur at wire speed without causing network bottlenecks.

4. Is the C2960X-STACK backward compatible with older 2960-S models?
   Yes, FlexStack-Plus technology is designed to be backward compatible with the older FlexStack modules found in the Catalyst 2960-S series. Therefore, you can create a mixed stack containing both 2960-X and 2960-S switches, though the total stack bandwidth will default to the lower 40 Gbps speed of the 2960-S units.

5. Does Jazz Cyber Shield ship to Canada or Europe?
   Yes. Jazz Cyber Shield ships worldwide, including the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, and across Europe, with a full manufacturer warranty and a 30-day return policy.
