Enhanced security: Modern businesses face both more serious security threats and more
●
demanding regulatory compliance requirements than ever before. The Cisco Catalyst 2960
Series with LAN Base software provides a wide range of security features to protect your
business' important information, keep unauthorized users off the network, guard privacy,
and protect against network downtime due to security breaches. Key features, including:
◦
An enhanced version of the Cisco Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS) solution,
which employs the 802.1x standard to provide advanced authentication, access control,
and security policy administration provides users access to designated priviledges
Access control lists (ACLs) to restrict sensitive portions of the network and guard against
network attacks by keep unauthorized users off the network
◦
Port-level security features, to limit access to designated addresses
◦
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping to identify and block spoofing
from untrusted sources
◦
MAC address notification features to monitor the network and allow administrators to
track where and when users enter the network
◦
Secure encryption of administrative and network management traffic to protect against
eavesdropping and tampering and comply with regulatory requirements such as the
Payment Card Industry (PCI) standard
Improved availability and scalability: The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series with LAN Base
●
software provides the redundancy and advanced QoS features you need to help ensure that
your employees stay connected and productive at all times. This intelligence allows your
network to more easily accommodate new technology deployments and continually deliver
optimal performance, even as your business and applications evolve. Important high-
availability and scalability features include:
◦
Spanning Tree Protocol enhancements that support increased redundancy and improved
convergence times in the event of a link outage, as well as efficiently optimizing the extra
capacity inherent in a redundant design
◦
Advanced QoS intelligence to classify and prioritize traffic, reducing network congestion
and bottlenecks
◦
Support for the Cisco Redundant Power System (RPS) 2300 solution to provide
transparent power backup of redundant switches
◦
Voice-aware 802.1x port security, which can block malicious data traffic on a port without
affecting voice traffic
Advanced QoS intelligence: The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series with LAN Base software
●
supports advanced QoS traffic shaping and policing features that give you optimal flexibility
in classifying and prioritizing the traffic on your network. For example, you can prioritize
traffic from mission-critical applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and
voice systems over less delay-sensitive traffic, reducing network congestion and ensuring
baseline performance for the most essential applications. The switches also support rate-
limiting features that allow you to allocate guaranteed bandwidth to specific applications and
users in increments as small as 1 Mbps. Administrators can easily configure these features
through tools such as automatic QoS (Auto QoS), which detects Cisco IP phones and
automatically configures the switch for the appropriate QoS.
