Catalyst 2960 and 2960-S Switch Software Configuration Guide
OL-8603-09
Preface
Audience
This guide is for the networking professional managing the Catalyst 2960 and 2960-S switches,
hereafter referred to as the switch. Before using this guide, you should have experience working with the
Cisco IOS software and be familiar with the concepts and terminology of Ethernet and local area
networking.
Purpose
This guide provides the information that you need to configure Cisco IOS software features on your
switch.
Catalyst 2960 and 2960-S switches run one of these images:
• The LAN base software image provides enterprise-class intelligent services such as access control
lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS) features. On a Catalyst 2960-S switch, stacking is also
supported.
• The LAN Lite image provides reduced functionality.
The Catalyst 2960-S ships with a universal image that includes cryptographic functionality. The software
image on the switch is either the LAN base or LAN Lite image, depending on the switch model. To
determine which image your switch is running:
• Switches running the LAN Lite image do not support the FlexStack module. They do not have a
FlexStack module slot on the rear of the switch.
• On the front of the switch, the label in the top right corner ends in -S if the switch model runs the
LAN Lite image.
• Enter the show version privileged EXEC command. The line that shows the product ID also ends in
either -L (if running the LAN base image) or -S (if running the LAN Lite image). For example,
WS-C2960S-48PD-L is running LAN base; WS-C2960S-24TS-S is running LAN Lite image.
