The Cisco FlexStack Module (Part Number: C2960S-STACK) is a network stacking module designed to improve the scalability and flexibility of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series switches. This module allows multiple switches to be interconnected and function as a single logical unit, simplifying management and operational tasks within the network. The module supports stack bandwidth up to 20 Gbps, ensuring high-speed data transfer between stacked switches, which is useful for network expansion and load balancing.
One of the key advantages of the Cisco FlexStack is its ability to support the hot-swappable feature, meaning the unit can be added or removed without requiring a system reboot. This minimises downtime when upgrading or configuring the network. The module also offers a redundant stacking topology, improving the overall reliability of the network by allowing the remaining switches to continue functioning if one switch in the stack fails. This contributes to a more resilient and robust network infrastructure.
The Cisco FlexStack Module can support up to four switches per stack, depending on your configuration, providing flexible deployment options for small to medium-sized organisations. The stacking capability allows all switches in the stack to share a single management IP address, thus streamlining device management and centralising the control of the network. Stacking also allows for simplified firmware upgrades across all the switches within the stack through a synchronised process initiated from a single point of control.
Constructed with reliability and efficiency in mind, this Cisco stacking module is an essential addition for businesses looking to grow their network infrastructure while maintaining a high level of performance and minimising complexity.
