C2960 and SXP

Hello team,

I would like to  know if SXP is supported on C2960 switches?

I found 2 contradictory information and need to understand which one is correct

The Release note below is showing C2960 supporting SXP

Cisco IOS Software Release 15.0(1)SE for Cisco Catalyst 3750-X, 3560-X, 3750-E, 3560-E, 3750G, 3560G, 2960, and 2960-S S…

However, in this internal document (attached) is mentioned that SXP is not supported on C2960 switches

Eliane,

A simpler source of info would be to look at  https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/enterprise-networks/trustsec/platform-capability-matrix.pdf

You will see the versions like the 2960 S that do support SXP, but the base 2960 does not.

The difference between those that do and do not are all down to memory really (e.g. S has twice as much as the older base 2960 product) When we were in development testing, we were finding that running SXP with typical customer 802.1X/identity configurations was leading to unhealthy levels of memory utilisation so SXP was never supported on the base 2960.

Best regards,

Kevin
