Stacking
Q. What is Cisco FlexStack-Plus stacking?
A. Cisco FlexStack-Plus is a hot-swappable, modular stacking solution that provides a true stacking capability,
with all switches acting as a single switching unit with a unified data plane, using a single IP address. Cisco
FlexStack-Plus is supported by the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series and allows the stacking of up to eight
switches, with a throughput of 80 gigabits per second.
Q. What is difference between FlexStack and FlexStack-Plus technology?
A. The FlexStack-Plus technology is similar to FlexStack technology with the differences listed in Table 3.

Platform Members Bandwidth Convergence
FlexStack 4 40 Gbps 1–2 sec
FlexStack-Plus 8 80 Gbps 100 msec
Q. What are the stackable models of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series?
A. The LAN Base and IP Lite feature set models are stackable models in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series.
The LAN Lite feature set model is a standalone model. Note: The fanless SKU (WS-C2960S-PSQ-L with Lan
Base) does not support stacking
Q. Can LAN Base and IP Lite feature set models stack together in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series?
A. No, LAN Base and IP Lite feature set models cannot be stacked together. LAN Base feature set models can
stack with LAN Base feature set models only. Similarly, IP Lite feature set models can stack with IP Lite
feature set models only.
Q. Can Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switches stack with Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR switches?
A. No. Cisco Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR switches can’t stack together since they don’t share common feature
set model.
