What feature of the Catalyst 2960-L allows customers to get a small branch or office network running within minutes?

Question

Options

• Asupport for Cisco DNA center
• Bon-box web interface for configuration
• Cflexible deployments with Stackwise-160
• Dcomplete CLI support

• A

• B

• D

Explanation

Option B is correct because the Catalyst 2960-L includes an on-box web interface (also called the Device Manager GUI) that lets non-technical staff configure and bring up a small network quickly - no CLI knowledge or external management software required.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Cisco DNA Center): DNA Center is a centralized network management platform suited for larger enterprise deployments, not a quick-start feature for small branches.
• C (Stackwise-160): Stackwise-160 is a stacking technology found on higher-end Catalyst models (like the 2960-X/XR), not the 2960-L.
• D (Complete CLI support): While the 2960-L does support CLI, CLI requires expertise and time - it's the opposite of a "within minutes" solution for non-technical users.

Memory tip: Think "L = Lightweight setup." The 2960-L targets small, simple deployments where ease of use matters most - a browser-based GUI is the fastest path to getting a branch online without needing a network engineer on-site.
