WS-C2960XR-24TS-I Use Case
Campus Access Layer with Flexible Stacking and Uplink Resiliency
In a large university campus, IT deploys WS-C2960XR-24TS-I Catalyst 2960-XR 24 GigE, 4 x 1G SFP, IP Lite switches at each building access closet. By leveraging FlexStack-Plus, up to eight units form a single logical switch, simplifying configuration, firmware upgrades and real-time monitoring. Four dedicated 1G SFP uplinks connect to the distribution core with redundant fiber paths, delivering sub-millisecond failover. Outcome: 99.99% network availability, centralized management across 600+ ports, and accelerated provisioning for new academic labs.
Branch Office Edge with Secure VLAN Segmentation and Static Routing
A multinational retailer’s suburban branch uses the Catalyst 2960-XR WS-C2960XR-24TS-I IP Lite switch to aggregate 24 workstation and POS endpoints. Administrators define three VLANs (employees, guests, VoIP) with robust ACLs enforced at the access layer. Built-in static routing on the IP Lite image directs inter-VLAN traffic to the site router, eliminating a dedicated Layer 3 router. Outcome: streamlined rollout in under two hours, 50% fewer hardware components, and end-to-end traffic segmentation that meets PCI DSS compliance requirements.
Retail Edge with High-Density Connectivity and Energy-Efficient Operations
A nationwide retail chain standardizes on WS-C2960XR-24TS-I Catalyst 2960-XR 24 GigE, 4 x 1G SFP switches in each store for point-of-sale terminals, digital signage and back-office PCs. Energy-Efficient Ethernet and Cisco EnergyWise features reduce port power draw by up to 30% during off-hours. Four fiber uplinks link to the regional distribution hub for video surveillance and inventory systems. Outcome: 20% lower electricity costs, consistent 1 Gbps performance for critical systems, and simplified multi-site firmware management under Cisco Prime.
