The C2960S-STACK is a Cisco Catalyst 2960-S FlexStack hot-swappable stacking module. It adds Cisco FlexStack stacking with 20 Gbps of stack throughput to a 2960-S switch, and up to four 2960-S switches can be stacked through the module. The module can be added to any Catalyst 2960-S switch that runs LAN Base software.
A switch connected to a stack automatically upgrades to the Cisco IOS Software the stack runs and joins the stack without further steps. All switches in a stack act as a single unit with one unified data plane, one unified configuration and a single IP address for management. Cross-stack features include EtherChannel, SPAN and FlexLink.
FlexStack also allows mixed stacking: 2960-S and 2960-SF switches can be combined, giving a mix of Gigabit and Fast Ethernet ports in a single stack. Stacking cables for the Catalyst 2960-S come in three lengths: CAB-STK-E-0.5M at 0.5 m, CAB-STK-E-1M at 1.0 m and CAB-STK-E-3M at 3.0 m.
Catalyst 2960-S switches that take the module include the WS-C2960S-24TD-L 24-port Gigabit switch and the WS-C2960S-48LPS-L 48-port PoE switch. More stacking modules and Cisco add-on parts are in Cisco modules and power supplies.
