Data-Only Campus Access for Locally Powered Wired Endpoints

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I is a managed Layer 3 access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The data-only configuration connects locally powered endpoints without allocating switch power to attached devices. Its full-width 1U rack chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR Series, which serves enterprise campus and branch access networks. Cisco IOS runs the IP Lite feature set, giving this configuration routed-access capabilities rather than limiting operation to Layer 2 switching. The discontinued WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I is the nearest powered sibling, adding PoE+ where endpoint power must travel over Ethernet. Fixed uplinks distinguish this configuration from switches that require a separate network card to establish upstream connectivity; the uplink interfaces are already built into the chassis.

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I price for new stock is $971.25, a 93.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $15,468.00. WS-C2960XR-48TD-I refurb price is $176.40. WS-C2960XR-48TD-I is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

216 Gbps full-duplex switching capacity supports simultaneous traffic across the switching fabric. 130.9 Mpps forwarding performance applies to 64-byte Layer 3 packets, providing a separate packet-processing figure for traffic sizing. Routing includes OSPF for Routed Access, OSPFv3, static routes, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and EIGRPv3 Stub; PBR controls forwarding decisions independently of the selected routing protocol. HSRP and VRRP support redundant routed links, while PIM-SM, PIM-DM and PIM Sparse-Dense Mode handle IPv4 multicast. WS-C2960XR-48TD-I provides 128 MB of flash for software storage and a default MAC address capacity of 16000 entries. SDM templates redistribute forwarding resources between switching, routing, security and QoS requirements. LACP supports aggregated Ethernet links, while RSTP and MSTP provide spanning-tree operation. Eight egress queues per port support traffic scheduling. 45.6W measured consumption at 100% traffic provides an operating-power reference under controlled laboratory conditions with Energy Efficient Ethernet enabled.

Ordering

ORM Systems offers WS-C2960XR-48TD-I new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year ORM warranty; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with every port linking at rated speed, optics bay recognition checked, firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantity on the purchase order; Cisco’s Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is restricted to the original end user, with eligible Cisco service ending October 31, 2027.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Application visibility license choices

Full Flexible NetFlow and DNS-AS require Cisco ONE Foundation or Cisco DNA Essentials. WS-C2960XR-48TD-I orders should distinguish these add-ons from included IP Lite; Cisco DNA Essentials offers three-year and five-year terms.

Existing service entitlement matters

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I cannot receive a new Cisco service attachment after October 31, 2023. Existing service contract renewals end January 29, 2027, so confirm existing entitlement before adding Cisco support to the purchase order.

Dedicated stacking hardware required

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I stacking orders require the optional C2960X-STACK module and appropriate cables. Specify CAB-STK-E-0.5M for 0.5 m, CAB-STK-E-1M for 1 m or CAB-STK-E-3M for 3 m connections rather than ordering chassis alone.

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I Use Case

Branch Office Resilient Connectivity with WS-C2960XR-48TD-I

In a distributed retail environment, the Catalyst 2960-XR 48 GigE switch (WS-C2960XR-48TD-I) with IP Lite and dual 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks delivers local VLAN segmentation, static Layer 3 routing and rapid uplink failover. This ensures continuous POS transactions, secure guest-Wi-Fi isolation and sub-second recovery in link outages, reducing branch downtime and accelerating application performance.

Industrial IoT Data Aggregation on the Factory Floor

On a smart-manufacturing line, the WS-C2960XR-48TD-I aggregates 48 GigE sensors, PLCs and IP cameras, enforces QoS policies and ACL-based traffic segregation using IP Lite, and uplinks real-time telemetry over 2 x 10 G SFP+ to edge compute nodes. The result is deterministic latency for SCADA streams, simplified network zoning and a 30% boost in operational throughput.

Campus Access Layer Scalability and Security

In a higher-education campus, stackable Catalyst 2960-XR 48 GigE switches (WS-C2960XR-48TD-I) provide 370 W PoE for IP phones, wireless APs and cameras, plus static routing for inter-VLAN routing. Leveraging IP Lite ACLs and dual 10 G uplinks, IT teams achieve centralized policy enforcement, 20% lower CAPEX via FlexStack-Plus and consistent user experiences across lecture halls and labs.

Best For

Rack Replacement Planning

When replacing equipment in an existing rack, chassis depth alone does not settle rear clearance. PWR-C2-250WAC power supplies can add 79 mm beyond the chassis. Include the RCKMNT-1RU-2KX= rack-mount kit when replacement mounting hardware is required, and confirm rear clearance and mounting contents before the purchase order.

Departmental Network Consolidation

When consolidating separately administered departmental connections, the VLAN requirement can determine whether one configuration accommodates the existing segmentation plan. The switch supports 1023 active VLANs, with 4096 VLAN IDs available. Separate active VLAN requirements from identifier assignments, then check the intended configuration before specifying the consolidation order.

Managed Spare Staging

When preparing managed spares for an encrypted administration environment, software image selection matters before deployment. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image because of export restrictions. Establish the required image and management credentials during staging, then include the software requirement with the hardware condition and quantity on the purchase order.

Not Suitable If

PoE power for attached endpoints

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I supplies no endpoint power. C9200-48P is a current 48-port PoE+ alternative when phones, access points or other powered devices require Ethernet-delivered power.

More than two 10G uplinks

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I has two fixed 10G uplinks. C9200-48T with C9200-NM-4X provides four 1G/10G uplink interfaces through a separately selected network module.

Mixed Catalyst 2960-X hardware stacks

Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite members cannot join Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base or Catalyst 2960-S/SF stacks. Existing mixed-family stacks cannot accept this configuration as another member.

Network management also includes Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center and Cisco Network Plug and Play through APIC-EM or Cisco DNA Center; these network-management solutions require licenses.

What is the lifecycle status of WS-C2960XR-48TD-I?

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I reached end of sale on October 31, 2022, and its last date of Cisco support is October 31, 2027. Software maintenance releases ended October 31, 2023. C9200-48T is the named replacement, while applicable support for the discontinued model depends on existing entitlement.

Which licensing options does WS-C2960XR-48TD-I support?

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I includes IP Lite; Full Flexible NetFlow and DNS-AS require Cisco ONE Foundation or Cisco DNA Essentials. Cisco DNA Essentials offers three-year and five-year terms, making three years the minimum listed term. Smart Accounts manage licenses, and an expired add-on can be deactivated before reloading to retain base capabilities.

What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for WS-C2960XR-48TD-I?

ORM Systems offers WS-C2960XR-48TD-I new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco’s Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the original end user, with eligible Cisco service ending October 31, 2027.

How many Catalyst 2960-XR switches can be stacked?

Catalyst 2960-XR FlexStack-Plus stacks eight IP Lite members with 80 Gbps stack bandwidth using C2960X-STACK modules. Cable options are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M and CAB-STK-E-3M for 0.5 m, 1 m and 3 m connections. Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base and Catalyst 2960-S/SF members cannot join that stack.

Which routing protocols are available on WS-C2960XR-48TD-I?

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I supports static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPF for Routed Access, OSPFv3, EIGRP Stub and EIGRPv3 Stub under IP Lite. PBR provides policy-directed forwarding, while HSRP and VRRP support routed-link redundancy. Multicast options include PIM-SM, PIM-DM, PIM Sparse-Dense Mode, SSM and PIMv6 Stub.

Does WS-C2960XR-48TD-I include redundant power supplies?

No, WS-C2960XR-48TD-I ships with one PWR-C2-250WAC power supply; a second PWR-C2-250WAC is optional. Installing the second matching supply enables switch-power redundancy. Both supplies serve the data-only chassis rather than creating PoE capability, so a second supply does not turn its copper ports into powered ports.

Which uplinks does the 48-port Catalyst 2960-XR data switch provide?

The WS-C2960XR-48TD-I configuration provides two fixed 10G SFP+ uplink interfaces alongside its copper access ports. These interfaces are built into the chassis rather than added through a removable uplink card. Select compatible transceivers for the intended connection; dedicated stacking connections are separate from these Ethernet uplinks.

What is the difference between WS-C2960XR-48TD-I and WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I?

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I provides data-only ports, whereas WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I supplies PoE+ from a shared 370W budget. Both configurations are discontinued. The data-only model fits existing connections to locally powered endpoints; the powered model addresses Ethernet-powered endpoints whose combined demand must remain within its available budget.

What is the difference between WS-C2960XR-48TD-I and WS-C2960X-48TD-L?

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I carries IP Lite, whereas WS-C2960X-48TD-L carries LAN Base. IP Lite adds EIGRP Stub, EIGRPv3 Stub and RIPng capabilities to this comparison. Both models are discontinued, and LAN Base cannot be upgraded to IP Lite; each model fits replacement requirements for its existing software feature level.

What is the difference between WS-C2960XR-48TD-I and C9200-48T?

WS-C2960XR-48TD-I has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas C9200-48T uses a modular uplink bay. C9200-NM-4X adds four 1G/10G interfaces to C9200-48T. The discontinued model fits fixed-uplink replacement requirements; its current successor fits purchases requiring a separately selected uplink configuration rather than the existing two-interface arrangement.
