Chapter 1 Product Overview Front Panel Description The Catalyst 2960-8TC-L and Catalyst 2960G-8TC-L switches do not support the 1000BASE-T or GLC-GE-100FX SFP modules. Some Catalyst 2960 switches have a redundant power system (RPS) connector for an optional Cisco RPS 2300 or Cisco RPS 675 redundant power system that operates on AC input and supplies backup DC power to the switch. See the compatibility matrix documents for the RPS systems on Cisco.com for more information about switch

Chapter 1 Product Overview Front Panel Description You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the command-line interface (CLI) to enable the auto-MDIX feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100/1000 or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch,

Chapter 1 Product Overview Front Panel Description On a per-port basis, you can control whether Catalyst 2960 PoE port automatically provides power when you connect an IP phone or an access point. The device manager, Network Assistant, and the CLI provide two PoE settings for each 10/100 PoE port: Auto and Never. When you select the Auto setting, the port provides power only if a valid powered device, such as an IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered device, a Cisco pre-standard IP phone, or
