Powered Enterprise Access for Campus and Branch Networks

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ downlinks and two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The rack-mount 1U chassis belongs to the Catalyst 2960-XR family and carries the hardware-bound IP Lite feature set. Powered copper connections serve standards-compliant IP phones and wireless access points, while the built-in fiber uplink cages connect upstream network links without an uplink expansion card. The discontinued WS-C2960XR-24TD-I provides the corresponding data-only configuration without endpoint power. Specify compatible uplink optics when assembling the order rather than a removable uplink module.

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I price for new stock is $1,695.75, a 85.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $11,691.00. WS-C2960XR-24PD-I refurb price is $219.45. WS-C2960XR-24PD-I is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

216 Gbps switching capacity defines the full-duplex switching bandwidth, while 95.2 Mpps forwarding rates the handling of 64-byte Layer 3 packets. A shared 370W PoE budget governs endpoint allocation rather than guaranteeing maximum power on every connection simultaneously. OSPFv2 Stub, OSPFv3 Stub, EIGRP Stub, RIP v1, and RIP v2 support routed access; HSRP and VRRP provide first-hop redundancy. WS-C2960XR-24PD-I carries 512 MB DRAM for control-plane operation and 128 MB flash for software storage, with a 4 MB egress buffer for queued traffic. The IPv4 SDM template supports a maximum of 24000 IPv4 unicast routes. Local administration includes console access, a web interface, and remote CLI access; SSH requires the cryptographic software image.

Ordering

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; ORM's new warranty is up to 3-year extended, and certified refurbished coverage is up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, a clean boot, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, optics, and required stacking hardware on the purchase order. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement; regional stock and RMA cover the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Separate optional software services

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I needs no subscription for base operation. Full Flexible NetFlow and DNS-AS require Cisco ONE Foundation or Cisco DNA Essentials; C2960XR-DNA-E-24-3 supplies the minimum three-year DNA term, managed through a Smart Account.

Size shared endpoint power

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I requires endpoint power sizing: 24 x 30W = 720W exceeds the shared 370W budget. Specify PWR-C2-640WAC as a second unit for redundancy, not additional endpoint capacity.

Specify stacking hardware separately

Every participating Catalyst 2960-XR member requires C2960X-STACK for FlexStack-Plus. Specify CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M for interconnects; Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base members cannot join the IP Lite stack.

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I Use Case

Branch Office Access Layer with High-Density PoE and 10G Uplink

In a 50-seat branch office deploying 20+ Wi-Fi 6 access points, IP phones and door controllers, the WS-C2960XR-24PD-I delivers 370 W of PoE+ over 24 GigE ports and two native 10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks to the campus core. Benefit: Simplifies cabling, ensures uninterrupted power for critical edge devices, and scales with zero-touch provisioning via Cisco DNA Center—outcome: 75 % faster rollout and 99.99 % network availability.

Retail Store IP Surveillance and Wireless Convergence

A regional retail chain outfits each store with 12 PoE cameras, 8 ceiling-mount APs and RFID kiosks. The Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite switch aggregates these devices on a single platform with resilient 10 Gbps uplinks to the distribution switch. Benefit: Centralized PoE management and hardened software deliver real-time video analytics and seamless guest Wi-Fi—outcome: 30 % reduction in security blind spots and 40 % lower operational costs.

Manufacturing Plant Industrial Automation and IoT Network

On a factory floor integrating programmable logic controllers, environmental sensors and smart conveyors, the WS-C2960XR-24PD-I provides deterministic PoE power and line-rate switching with IP Lite QoS for time-sensitive traffic. Dual 10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks feed a high-availability core. Benefit: Industry-grade reliability, streamlined device onboarding and granular traffic prioritization—outcome: 25 % boost in production throughput and zero unexpected downtime.

Best For

Separated Stack Expansion

When an existing stack must span separate wiring closets, FlexStack-Extended uses C2960X-FIBER-STK and runs at 40 Gbps. Treat the fiber connection as a separate hardware line item rather than assuming the local copper interconnect can be reused. Confirm compatible optics, connection distance, and module quantities before issuing the purchase order.

Dual-Stack Branch Staging

When a branch rollout needs both IPv4 and IPv6 routing, template selection becomes part of staging. The IPv4-only SDM template removes IPv6 unicast routes, whereas the default template retains both address families. Specify the required template and validate the intended routing configuration before the purchase order.

Not Suitable If

Per-port power above 30W

Each PoE+ port is limited to 30W. A second PWR-C2-640WAC does not raise that per-port ceiling or increase the shared endpoint budget.

Cisco support after October 2027

Cisco service ends October 31, 2027. C9200-24P is the current replacement for a forward refresh; plan legacy spares around the remaining support window.

Questions & Answers

What does the WS-C2960XR-24PD-I part number mean?

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I identifies the Catalyst 2960-XR configuration: WS-C2960XR names the family, 24 denotes the access-port count, P identifies powered ports, D identifies two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and I identifies IP Lite. The complete configuration includes a shared 370W endpoint power budget.

How is the Catalyst 2960-XR managed?

Catalyst 2960-XR supports Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI through SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 and USB consoles, SNMP, and optional USB Bluetooth access. Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco Network Plug and Play, and Cisco DNA Center provide network management. Centralized solutions require separate licenses; SSH requires the cryptographic software image.

What is the lifecycle status of WS-C2960XR-24PD-I?

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I reached end of sale on October 31, 2022, and its last date of Cisco support is October 31, 2027. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2023. Security support continues through October 31, 2027, and service contract renewal ends January 29, 2027, subject to existing coverage.

Which conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for WS-C2960XR-24PD-I?

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to 3-year extended for new and up to 1 year for refurbished. Returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the original end user, with service ending October 31, 2027.

Does WS-C2960XR-24PD-I require a software subscription?

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I includes hardware-bound IP Lite without a separate feature-set license. Optional Cisco ONE Foundation or Cisco DNA Essentials enables Full Flexible NetFlow and DNS-AS; DNA starts with three-year C2960XR-DNA-E-24-3 and also offers five years. Smart Accounts manage subscriptions. After DNA expiration, renew or deactivate the add-on and reload to retain base capabilities.

How much PoE power can the Catalyst 2960-XR 24-port model provide?

The Catalyst 2960-XR 24-port PoE+ model provides a shared 370W budget and a 30W per-port maximum. That budget supports 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W. Endpoint allocations must stay within the shared total; installing a second matching supply preserves redundancy without increasing available PoE power.

Can WS-C2960XR-24PD-I join a FlexStack-Plus stack?

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I supports eight-member FlexStack-Plus stacks at 80 Gbps with C2960X-STACK installed in each chassis. Interconnect choices are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, and CAB-STK-E-3M. Stack partners must be Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite members; Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base and Catalyst 2960-S or 2960-SF members cannot join.

What is the difference between WS-C2960XR-24PD-I and WS-C2960XR-24TD-I?

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I supplies PoE+, whereas WS-C2960XR-24TD-I has data-only access ports. Both models are discontinued, so this distinction is relevant to legacy replacement purchases rather than a new-series selection. The powered model suits existing endpoint-power requirements; the data-only model suits installations where attached equipment receives power separately.

What is the difference between WS-C2960XR-24PD-I and WS-C2960X-24PD-L?

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I accepts a second internal power supply, whereas WS-C2960X-24PD-L has a fixed internal supply. Both models are discontinued. Matching access-port counts do not make their power arrangements interchangeable: the XR model suits legacy installations requiring internal supply redundancy, while the X model matches existing fixed-supply deployments.

What is the difference between WS-C2960XR-24PD-I and C9200-24P?

WS-C2960XR-24PD-I is discontinued, while C9200-24P is its current replacement in the Catalyst 9200 family. This is a lifecycle decision rather than an interchangeable spare selection. The older model suits maintaining an existing installation through its support boundary; the replacement suits a forward refresh with the complete configuration specified separately.
