WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ is a fanless, Smart Managed Layer 2+ access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed configuration carries LAN Lite software in a Rack-Mount 1U chassis for branch-office and small-office networks. Its uplinks are built into the chassis rather than supplied through an expansion card. The copper interfaces connect wired clients and standards-compatible powered endpoints. WS-C2960L-SM-24TQ provides the corresponding non-PoE configuration; both models are discontinued.

128 Gbps switching capacity accommodates traffic across the access interfaces and fixed uplinks. 195W of shared PoE power requires an endpoint allocation rather than a full-power allowance for every powered port. WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ has 512 MB DRAM and 256 MB flash for software and configuration storage. The Catalyst 2960-L supports 16000 MAC entries and 256 active VLANs for access segmentation. Static IPv4 and IPv6 routes use manually assigned interfaces or next hops and require adjustment when network paths change. A second internal power supply cannot be added for redundancy. 247W consumption with PoE provides the AC-load planning figure, distinct from endpoint power allocation.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, including PoE output under load on every powered port, firmware verification, and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, accessories, and quantity on the PO; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is separate, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2026. For enterprise and volume purchases, submit quantities by PO; Net-30 is available for government.

During an endpoint refresh, phones, wireless access points, and PoE-powered lights can compete for the same shared power allocation. A port's 30W PoE+ ceiling does not make that power available to every endpoint simultaneously. Add each device's maximum demand and specify the endpoint power plan before issuing the PO.
When a rollout spans purchasing regions, stock and RMA arrangements become part of the procurement plan rather than a deployment feature. ORM Systems covers the UK, EU, US, and MEA. Specify the destination region, condition, and quantity for each site before issuing the purchase order.
When a staging team normally prepares access configurations through a terminal session, the Smart Managed operating model changes the preparation workflow. Use the on-box web interface for configuration and reserve the limited CLI for monitoring and troubleshooting. Confirm that the staging checklist covers browser-based setup before ordering the lab or replacement batch.
30W across every powered port
The 195W budget is shared across 24 ports; a 30W maximum on an individual port is not an allowance for every port simultaneously.
Full CLI configuration access
The Smart Managed model uses its web UI for configuration and provides limited CLI support for monitoring and troubleshooting, not unrestricted command-line configuration.
Internal redundant power supplies
The chassis has a single fixed internal power supply and no second internal supply option, so dual-supply redundancy cannot be added to this model.
Cisco support after October 2026
Cisco support for WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ ends October 31, 2026. C1300-24P-4X is the current migration destination, following the discontinued intermediate replacement C1000-24P-4X-L.

WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ identifies a Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switch with 24 Gigabit PoE+ access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. WS-C2960L identifies the family, SM means Smart Managed, 24 indicates port density, P denotes PoE+, and Q distinguishes the 10G SFP+ uplink configuration. LAN Lite is included.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ uses the Cisco Configuration Professional web UI for configuration and a limited CLI for monitoring and troubleshooting. Console, SSH, Telnet, Bluetooth, and SNMP provide access or monitoring; SSH requires the cryptographic image. Cisco Prime, Cisco DNA Center, and Network Plug and Play require separate management licensing.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ reached end of sale October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. Its named replacement, C1000-24P-4X-L, was discontinued April 30, 2025, and replaced by C1300-24P-4X. Remaining inventory does not extend these Cisco lifecycle milestones, so distinguish an exact replacement order from a hardware migration.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers eligible original owners, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ includes LAN Lite base software and supports Cisco DNA Essentials management add-ons with a 3-year minimum term; 5-year and 7-year terms also exist. Smart Accounts handle add-on licensing. When an add-on expires, renew it or deactivate it and reload to continue using the base capabilities.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ provides a shared 195W PoE budget across 24 powered access ports, with PoE+ supporting 30W on an individual port. The aggregate budget prevents every port from delivering its per-port maximum simultaneously. Check each endpoint's maximum power requirement before assigning the complete powered-device mix to this switch.
Yes, Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switches support static IPv4 and IPv6 routes and provide Layer 2+ functionality. Routes use a manually specified interface or next hop; IPv4 also supports a DHCP-learned next hop. Static routes do not automatically follow topology changes, so adjust them when network paths change.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ supplies PoE+ from its access ports, while WS-C2960L-SM-24TQ is non-PoE. Both are discontinued members of the Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed family. The PoE+ configuration suits standards-compatible powered endpoints; the non-PoE configuration suits legacy installations where connected devices receive power from another source.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C2960L-SM-24PS has four 1G SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The 10G configuration matches legacy installations requiring 10G upstream connections, while the 1G configuration matches installations whose existing upstream links and optical interfaces are standardized on Gigabit Ethernet.
C1300-24P-4X is the current migration destination, while WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ is discontinued and reaches its last Cisco support date on October 31, 2026. The intermediate C1000-24P-4X-L was also discontinued. Specify WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ for an exact legacy replacement and C1300-24P-4X for the current successor in the replacement chain.
No, WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ uses one fixed internal AC power supply and does not accept a second internal supply. Consumption is 247W with PoE, compared with 34W without PoE. Specify AC power provisioning for the switch and its powered endpoints rather than ordering an additional internal PSU.
