The model number is listed. You have two different models of 48 port 2960S switches. I would need to look up the specific models to see what the differences are.

sorry man, but I'm asking why do I have all these switches coming up when running that cmd?

are these all switches in a stack? and is the astrix indicate the switch I'm logged into?

Yes, they are in a stack. When they are stacked, there is only 1 switch as far as configuration goes. I believe the * shows which chassis is acting as the master.

If I want to make changes, do I need to log into master? What is the cmd to get stack information?

If you connect via ssh, you will always connect to the current master. You don't have 4 switches, you have 1 logical switch that has 4 physical components, but there is only 1 configuration. Just configure it like a normal switch. The only difference is in the syntax for designating a port. Do "show run" and you will see the entire configuration.

Nice! Thank you! If I configure a VLAN will it automatically update all other switches in stack? Is there a cmd that I can use to see my stack information for each switch I SSH into? <br><br>

Hi - I did a show hardware on a cisco switch and wondering what these switches are.

What are these switches?Hello

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
