Key Features
Everything you need in one device
🛡️
Cisco IOS Access
Runs Cisco IOS LAN Lite or LAN Base — providing VLAN, QoS, 802.1X, port security, and spanning tree for access layer deployments.
🔌
1G SFP Uplinks
Fixed 1G SFP uplinks — the 2960-X does not support 10G uplinks. This is often the primary driver to upgrade to the Catalyst 9200 with 10G SFP+ options.
🔄
Clear Upgrade Path
Catalyst 9200L and 9200 are the direct replacements — delivering IOS-XE, DNA Center, MACsec, and 10G SFP+ uplinks at comparable port densities.
About the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X / 2960-XR
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR are fixed-configuration Layer 2/Layer 3 access switches that were widely deployed as enterprise access layer switches throughout the 2010s. The 2960-X offered FlexStack-Plus stacking of up to 8 switches, while the 2960-XR added IP Lite Layer 3 routing and redundant power supply options.
Cisco has announced end-of-sale for both the 2960-X and 2960-XR Series. Organisations still running these switches are advised to plan their migration to the Cisco Catalyst 9200 or 9200L — which deliver IOS-XE programmability, DNA Center integration, MACsec hardware encryption, 10G SFP+ uplink options, and StackWise-160 stacking not available on the 2960-X platform.
Servnet provides migration assessment, configuration review, and supply of Catalyst 9200/9300 replacement hardware and licensing for organisations transitioning from the 2960-X platform. Our Cisco-certified network engineers can design and implement the migration with minimal network disruption.
