Well,
Not mush reason for telling that bandwidth is full duplex w/o a number. I think that missing line
E.G. for 2960X data is following:
Performance and Scalability |
| 2960-X LAN Lite | 2960-X LAN Base | 2960-XR IP Lite |
Forwarding bandwidth | 50 Gbps | 108 Gbps | 108 Gbps |
Switching bandwidth* | 100 Gbps | 216 Gbps | 216 Gbps |
* Switching bandwidth is full-duplex capacity.

So swithcing bandwidth ine is missing. You can consider that usually multiplying FW rate by 2. Swithicng rate is showing if switch fabric can accomadate both Tx and Rx forwrading rate (if yes then = FW rate * 2).
