C2960S-STACK Overview
A Single Flexstack Connection Between Two Members Is A Full Duplex 10gbps Connection. Each CISCO Catalyst 2960-s Member Supports Two Flexstack Connections. Each Flexstack Member Can Simultaneously Send And Receive Ethernet Traffic Over Both Stack Links At Line Rate, Effectively Giving 20gbps Of Stack Bandwidth Per Member. Up To Four Switches Can Be Stacked Together Using Flexstack To Form A Single Logical Switch. Logical Switch Is Another Term Used To Identify A Stack Of Switches. There Are Multiple Physical Switches Acting As A Single Unit. This Single Unit Behavior Is A Logical Switch. CISCO Catalyst 2960-s Switches Running Flexstack Use A Hop-by-hop Method Of Transferring Ethernet Packets Across The Stack. Packets Traverse The Stack By Going From One Member To Another Over The Flexstack Links Until The Packet Reaches Its Destination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the C2960S-STACK-VHBRSN module? +
This FlexStack stacking module is designed to transform standalone Cisco Catalyst 2960-S series switches into a single, unified stackable unit. By installing this module, you gain the ability to manage multiple switches as one logical entity, simplifying network administration while providing high-speed backplane connectivity for increased bandwidth and resilience across your stack.
Which specific Cisco Catalyst switch models are compatible with this stacking kit? +
The C2960S-STACK-VHBRSN is engineered specifically for the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S series switches. It provides the necessary hardware interface to create a FlexStack connection, allowing for the stacking of up to four units. Ensure your switches are running the compatible Cisco IOS software version to fully support the stacking features and unified management capabilities.
Does the C2960S-STACK module support hot-swapping during operation? +
While the physical module can be inserted into the rear slot of the switch, adding or removing a switch from an active stack typically requires careful planning. It is recommended to follow standard Cisco stacking procedures, which often involve powering down or reloading the stack members to ensure the new hardware is correctly recognized and integrated into the existing stack configuration.
How much throughput does the FlexStack module provide for the switch stack? +
The FlexStack technology utilized by this module delivers a high-speed stacking bandwidth of up to 20 Gbps. This robust backplane throughput ensures that traffic between stack members is handled efficiently, minimizing latency and providing a high-performance interconnect that behaves as a single high-density switch rather than several separate devices.
Can I manage a stack created with this module as a single device? +
Yes, once you deploy the C2960S-STACK-VHBRSN and configure your members into a stack, you receive a single IP address for management. This significantly streamlines network operations, as you can deploy configurations, monitor performance, and manage software updates across all stacked switches simultaneously through a unified interface, reducing the management burden on your IT team.
What are the common deployment scenarios for using the C2960S-STACK-VHBRSN? +
This module is ideal for wiring closet deployments or branch offices where port density needs to scale over time. By stacking 2960-S units, you can easily grow your network capacity without needing to manage multiple independent switches, making it perfect for environments requiring reliable, high-density access layer connectivity with simplified operational overhead.
Does this stacking module require specific licensing to function? +
The FlexStack stacking functionality is tied to the hardware capability enabled by this module. While the module itself does not require an additional individual license to operate, you must ensure that your Catalyst 2960-S switches are running a feature set that supports stacking. Always verify that your switch software version is updated to meet the requirements for stable stack communication.
How does the C2960S-STACK-VHBRSN contribute to network reliability? +
Stacking your switches with this module enhances network reliability through the creation of a redundant backplane. If one switch within the stack encounters an issue, the stack master can redirect traffic, providing a layer of hardware redundancy. This architectural approach ensures higher uptime for critical end-user devices connected to the access layer of your enterprise network.
