Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+): In addition to PoE 802.3af, the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches
support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at standard)
, which provides up to 30W of power per port. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-
S and 2960 Series Switches simplify the deployment of solutions such as wireless LANs, IP telephony
systems, and IP video surveillance cameras. This capability eliminates the need for separate power supplies
for Ethernet-powered devices, as well as the costs of running additional cable and circuits. The switches also
provide intelligent, integrated PoE management features that give you greater visibility into and control over
your power usage and streamline interoperability in multivendor networks. Table 1 shows the power supply
combinations required for different PoE needs.

*Intelligent power management allows flexible power allocation across all ports.

Cisco EnergyWise technology: Cisco EnergyWise is an innovative architecture embedded in the Cisco
Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches that enables the measurement of power consumption in the
network infrastructure and network-attached devices. The network discovers Cisco EnergyWise manageable
devices, monitors their power consumption, and takes action based on business rules to reduce power
consumption. Cisco EnergyWise helps to manage power consumption, resulting in companywide optimized
power delivery and reduced energy costs. Together, Cisco EnergyWise technology and Catalyst switches help
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, optimize power consumption, and increase energy cost savings.

Enhanced security: Modern businesses face both more serious security threats and more demanding
regulatory compliance requirements than ever before. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches
with LAN Base software provide a wide range of security features to protect your business’s important
information, keep unauthorized users off the network, guard privacy, and protect against network downtime
due to security breaches. Key features include:
◦ Cisco TrustSec™, provides authentication, access control, and security policy administration to secure
network connectivity and resources. On the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches with LAN
Base Software, the TrustSec solution prevents unauthorized access and helps ensure that users get
only their designated privileges. It provides the ability to dynamically administer granular levels of
network access.
◦ Port-level security features, to limit access to designated addresses as well as limit the number of
devices plugged into a switch port.
◦ Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping to identify and block spoofing from
untrusted sources.
