Cisco 2960 Router Confusion

Posted by: Catcat on 25 April 2018

Hi

Based on the positive forum reports, I'm looking to purchase a s/h Cisco 2960 but I'm confused by the various models.

I have an option to buy a used Cisco 2960-8TC-L WS-C2960-8TC-L V03 which has been fully tested, factory reset and has the most up-to-date s/w installed.

But there are some new old stock, unopened 2960G models suddenly available on the auction site.

Any views of which one makes the most sense to purchase?  I'd prefer to avoid having to do any set-up if possible.  Thanks all.

Thanks for the info, Frank. SecureCRT seems to work fine for me, the head scratching being the inevitable consequence of my inexperience of such things. Having got the switch to work properly, and configured the SFP ports to work, I'm hoping I won't need to log in too often in future, as everything is now working nicely.
