Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switches
Managed gigabit switches give every access port 1Gb/s with VLAN, management and, on Layer 3 models, routing features, and these are rack-mount enterprise models rather than desktop units. The page covers the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X, 2960-XR, 9200L and 9300, Juniper EX2200, EX2300, EX3300, EX3400 and EX4300, HP ProCurve 2510G, 2810 and 3800, Dell N-series and the Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP, from 8 to 48 ports. Each is tested in-house before it ships and covered by a 2-year warranty.

Feature set and stacking on the Catalyst 2960-X family
On a gigabit access switch the feature level matters as much as the port count. Cisco ties each 2960-X and 2960-XR model to one feature set that cannot be upgraded later, and its data sheet sets these limits:
| Feature set (suffix) | IPv4 routes, direct / indirect | Stacking | Example models here |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAN Lite (-LL) | 320 / 32 | None | WS-C2960X-24TS-LL, WS-C2960X-48TS-LL |
| LAN Base (-L) | 2,000 / 1,000 | FlexStack-Plus, up to 8 switches at 80 Gbps | WS-C2960X-24TD-L, WS-C2960X-48FPD-L |
| IP Lite (-I, 2960-XR) | 4,000 / 1,250, plus HSRP, VRRP and EIGRP stub | FlexStack-Plus with other 2960-XR IP Lite switches only | WS-C2960XR-24PD-I, WS-C2960XR-48TD-I |
Other ways to build a gigabit edge
Juniper's EX2300 joins up to four switches in a Virtual Chassis, and its 12-port EX2300-C models are fanless. Cisco's Nexus 2248TP-E gives 48 gigabit ports to a parent Nexus switch, which holds all of its configuration, so treat it as an extension of that switch rather than a standalone unit. For fibre to the access port, the Juniper EX4200-24F and EX4300-32F take 1G SFP optics on every access port.
Pair fibre ports with 1G SFP transceivers, compare PoE+, 24-port, 48-port and 10GbE switches, or browse Catalyst 9200, the wider Cisco switch range, Juniper, Dell Networking and HP ProCurve and other networking in our enterprise network switches.
