The Cisco Catalyst 2924M XL 10/100 autosensing Fast Ethernet switch combines outstanding performance, ease of use, and from the leader in networking, integrated Cisco IOS software. The Catalyst 2924M XL is a flexible, scalable, and affordable solution, ideal for aggregating Ethernet and Fast Ethernet workgroups and delivering dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps connectivity for individual users and servers with high-speed uplink modules, including Gigabit Ethernet and ATM, to connect to servers and LAN backbones.
The Catalyst 2924M XL switch, a member of the Catalyst 2900 Series XL family, contains 24 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports and two versatile module slots to provide unmatched expansion capabilities and high-speed connectivity. The modular design allows users to easily add 10Base-T/100Base-T, 100Base-FX, Gigabit Ethernet, or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) (OC-3) ports to increase port density and deliver high-speed uplinks. With the Gigabit Ethernet module, Catalyst 2924M XL switches can be stacked (up to nine switches) with the low-cost Cisco GigaStack gigabit interface controller (GBIC). The advanced Cisco architecture incorporates a switch fabric of 3.2 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 3.0 million packets per second (pps) to deliver wire-speed performance across all ports.
