WS-C2960XR-24PS-I is a managed Layer 3 access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ downlinks and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks in a rack-mount 1U chassis. The Catalyst 2960-XR series serves enterprise campus and branch access, combining endpoint connectivity with IP Lite routing. Cisco IOS provides the operating environment for voice, data, and powered endpoint connections. Private VLANs support isolation between attached hosts, while multidomain authentication accommodates an IP phone and a computer on the same access connection. The discontinued WS-C2960XR-24TS-I is the nearest non-PoE sibling, removing endpoint power delivery. This 24-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch uses built-in uplink cages rather than a removable network uplink card, so changing the uplink speed requires a different switch model.
WS-C2960XR-24PS-I price for new stock is $1,391.25. WS-C2960XR-24PS-I refurb price is $183.75. WS-C2960XR-24PS-I is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

216 Gbps switching capacity provides the internal switching bandwidth, while 71.4 Mpps forwarding performance measures handling of 64-byte Layer 3 packets. OSPF for Routed Access, RIPv1, RIPv2, and EIGRP Stub support local routing; EIGRP operation remains stub rather than full-feature routing. HSRP and VRRP support routed gateway redundancy. WS-C2960XR-24PS-I has 512 MB DRAM and 128 MB flash for software operation and storage, with 4 MB egress buffers for queued traffic. The default configuration supports 16000 MAC entries; the IPv4 SDM template supports a total of 24000 IPv4 unicast routes. Administrators must select the resource allocation appropriate to their routing requirements. A maximum electrical rating of 0.46 kVA informs facility planning, distinct from the measured 43.4W consumption at 100% traffic. PSU-integrated fans provide active cooling, so installation must preserve ventilation around the chassis and power supply.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960XR-24PS-I new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Testing covers power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status. New units carry up to a three-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to one year, and every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Specify condition, quantity, and required accessories on the purchase order; enterprise and volume orders accept POs, government orders qualify for Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement supports UK, EU, US, and MEA regions.

In a multi-site enterprise, the WS-C2960XR-24PS-I Catalyst 2960-XR 24 GigE PoE 370W switch powers IP phones and 802.11ac access points at a remote branch, delivering a full 370W PoE+ budget across 24 ports and 4 x 1G SFP redundant uplinks. Benefit: streamlined cabling and PoE management via Cisco IP Lite, guaranteed QoS for voice/data traffic, and 99.99% uptime with Cisco resiliency features for consistent business communications.
In a national retail chain, the WS-C2960XR-24PS-I supplies PoE+ to IP cameras, digital signage and RFID sensors across the sales floor, while its 4 x 1G SFP uplinks deliver high-speed connectivity to the central network. Benefit: consolidated PoE infrastructure reduces installation time, enables real-time video analytics and inventory tracking, and enforces secure VLAN segmentation with IP Lite static routing to protect customer data.
At a university campus, the WS-C2960XR-24PS-I serves as an edge aggregation switch for computer labs and classrooms, leveraging IP Lite for inter-VLAN routing and OSPF connectivity to dual core routers. Benefit: enhanced network segmentation for student, faculty and guest traffic, fast convergence with Minimal Spanning Tree and OSPF, and simplified network operations with Cisco IOS automation tools.
When an existing routed-access installation needs another matching unit, resource allocation matters alongside hardware identity. The Catalyst 2960-XR supports 48 EtherChannel groups, allowing the intended aggregation configuration to be checked during staging. Specify the required interface configuration and resource template before releasing the purchase order.
When replacement hardware must be configured before shipment to a site, local console access provides a staging path independent of the production network. CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 and CAB-CONSOLE-USB provide the supported console cable choices. Include the appropriate cable PID and identify the staging computer connection before ordering.
When a branch commissioning process requires access without a console cable, Bluetooth management requires an external USB Bluetooth dongle. A laptop or tablet can reach the CLI or browser interface through that connection. Specify the required access method and confirm the dongle arrangement before issuing the purchase order.
10G links to distribution
The built-in SFP uplinks operate at 1G, not 10G. The current C9200-24P retains 24 PoE+ downlinks and provides modular uplink options supporting 10G connections.
Mixed-family stack expansion
Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite members cannot join Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base or Catalyst 2960-S stacks. An existing stack from either family cannot be extended with this model.
Cisco support beyond October 2027
Cisco service ends October 31, 2027, limiting the remaining support window. The current C9200-24P is the replacement for a new 24-port PoE+ deployment.

WS-C2960XR-24PS-I identifies a Catalyst 2960-XR switch with 24 Gigabit PoE ports, four 1G SFP uplinks, and IP Lite. WS-C2960XR names the family, 24 identifies the access-port count, P identifies powered ports, S corresponds to the four SFP uplinks, and I identifies IP Lite.
WS-C2960XR-24PS-I supports a Configuration Professional web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 and USB console access, SNMP, and Bluetooth access through an external dongle. Network management paths include Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center, and Network Plug and Play. The network management applications require appropriate licensing.
Yes, WS-C2960XR-24PS-I reached end of sale on October 31, 2022, with the last date of support set for October 31, 2027. Software maintenance releases ended October 31, 2023. The replacement is C9200-24P, so maintenance purchases should be distinguished from a new-generation migration.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960XR-24PS-I new sealed with up to a three-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to one year. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty is separate, subject to eligibility, and bounded by the October 31, 2027 last support date.
WS-C2960XR-24PS-I does not require a subscription for hardware-bound IP Lite operation. Optional Cisco ONE Foundation or Cisco DNA Essentials enables Full Flexible NetFlow and DNS-AS; Cisco DNA Essentials has three- or five-year terms. When the term expires, deactivate the add-on and reload to retain base operation, or renew it.
The Catalyst 2960-XR 24-port PoE+ configuration powers 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W within its 370W shared budget. Power allocation can be distributed across the ports according to endpoint demand. A second PWR-C2-640WAC maintains that budget during a supply failure rather than increasing it.
Yes, WS-C2960XR-24PS-I supports an eight-member FlexStack-Plus stack at 80 Gbps with optional C2960X-STACK modules. Cable options are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, and CAB-STK-E-3M. Members must remain Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite; Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base and Catalyst 2960-S models cannot join this stack.
Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite provides static routing, RIP, OSPF for Routed Access, and EIGRP Stub, with IPv6 routing features including OSPFv3 and RIPng. The IPv4 SDM template supports 24000 total IPv4 unicast routes. That total requires the corresponding resource template and is not the default allocation.
WS-C2960XR-24PS-I ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC, while a second PWR-C2-640WAC is optional. Installing the second supply provides internal power redundancy without increasing the 370W PoE budget. Both supplies draw power in shared mode when installed, and their integrated fans contribute to chassis cooling.
WS-C2960XR-24PS-I delivers PoE+ endpoint power, whereas WS-C2960XR-24TS-I is non-PoE. Both models are discontinued. The powered model suits maintenance of installations needing power from the access switch; the data-only model suits matching existing connections whose attached devices receive power elsewhere rather than from the switch.
WS-C2960XR-24PS-I has four 1G SFP uplinks, while WS-C2960XR-24PD-I has two 10G SFP+ uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The PS model suits maintenance of existing four-link Gigabit uplink arrangements; the PD model suits matching an installed design that already uses two higher-speed uplink connections.
WS-C2960XR-24PS-I has fixed 1G SFP uplinks, whereas the current C9200-24P uses modular uplinks. C9200-24P is the replacement and requires an uplink configuration to be specified. The older model suits like-for-like maintenance; C9200-24P suits migration purchases where the buyer selects the uplink architecture separately.
