Stack your Catalyst 2960-X switches — unified management, redundancy, and simplified growth
Product Description
The Cisco C2960X-STACK is a stacking hardware module/kit designed for use with Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series switches. When installed in supported 2960-X models, this stacking option enables you to interconnect up to four switches (depending on model capabilities) into a single logical unit. The result is easier network administration, improved resilience, and consolidated management.
