The Cisco FlexStack Module (Part Number: C2960S-STACK=) is a network stacking module designed specifically for use with Cisco Catalyst 2960-S series switches. This module allows for the physical and logical stacking of up to four compatible switches, providing enhanced scalability and simplified management within a network.
A key feature of the module is its ability to support high data transfer speeds with a stacking bandwidth of 20 Gbps. This ensures that data is moved quickly and efficiently between the stacked switches, helping to mitigate network bottlenecks and improve overall network performance. The FlexStack technology allows for the connected switches to operate as a single logical unit, providing seamless network expansion without the need for complex configurations or re-cabling.
The Cisco FlexStack Module is hot-swappable, meaning it can be added or removed from the network without the need to power down the entire stack. This feature is essential for businesses and enterprise environments where uptime is critical. The module connects to switches via a dedicated rear port, ensuring easy installation and minimal interference with other switch ports.
With centralised management enabled through FlexStack, network administrators can manage all stacked switches as a single entity, simplifying software upgrades, policy implementation, and overall monitoring. This enhances operational efficiency, especially in larger network environments, and allows for rapid scaling as business needs grow.
