SFP Switch Cisco 2960 Switch WS-C2960-48PST-S Type Of Tutorial

Cisco WS-C2960-48PST-L Switch Overview

WS-C2960-48PST-L belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960-C Series Switches; its enhanced features is best utilized in office branch networks, in entry level businesses who are just starting their business operations or in mid markets business who do not possess an excessively large network. Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches are a family of fixed-configuration, standalone intelligent Ethernet devices with Power Over Ethernet (PoE) or non-PoE configurations that provide desktop Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling enhanced LAN services for entry-level enterprise, midmarket, and branch office networks. The Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base Series offers integrated security, including Network Admission Control (NAC), advanced Quality of Service (QoS), and resiliency to deliver intelligent services for the network edge.

How to determine what types of optical transceivers for Cisco switches?

1. Finding the corresponding optical module compatibility matrix via Cisco official website. 
2. On the running switches, enter the privileged mode and input # "show idprom interface gi1 / 0/48" command, you can query the optical module model and serial number, If not, try to input other two commands: xuxic or show idprom int g2/6
3. Checking the type and port based on the specification, it can be used as long as it is gigabit SFP optical module interface. But the specific models to be decided according to the actual demand, such as type, the actual use of distance, single-mode or multimode, single fiber or dual fiber etc. Welcome to consult Cozlink engineer.

Summary
