POE network switch

[OVERKILL]

Just a quick update. The switch is connected and working great. There were a few bonehead mistakes on my part, but the switch does just what I want. Thanks to @OVERKILL and @rijndael for your help!

No problem! Did you update the software? As I mentioned earlier in the thread, you can download the image with the WebUI if you want, there are a few more lines you need to add to the config to make it accessible, but it's pretty simple.

I have not been able to download the software. I created an account at cisco.com but when I log in and click the link in your post and try to download I see this:

If I click "this link" I get a blank page. I can't find a place to edit my profile.

I believe I need a support contract for software downloads.

Not for switches you don't, just ISR's and stuff.

I'll send you a DM.

There's not much new in the way of software for 2960Xs anyway, we're pretty deep in the EOL timeline.

Yeah, it's mostly just bug fixes and security patches:

Most potential "privilege escalations" i.e. being able to take control without the password were related to the web interface, which you should disable anyway.

Right, that's by design.

Regular bug fix support ended in 10/2023 ... we're in the "Vulnerability Support" part that ends in 10/2027.

which you should disable anyway.

Yep.
