2960-X Vlans

[abernathy]

Hello Cisco Community.

I need to purchase three stack-able switches for our new remote office.  I am looking at the 2960-X LAN Base models (WS-C2960X-48FPS-L).  The distributor that I am using told me that I can only have one default gateway and 16 VLANs????

This is a remove branch that connects to our DC via an iPSec tunnel provided by my FortiGates.  I do not need any type of routing protocols (OSPF, BGP).  I know it does not do dynamic routing and am okay with having to do static routing for everything.

I think the re-seller is just trying to up sale me.

As long as this stack is L2 and static routing this model ok with Lanbase.

Thank you for the reply.

So there should be no limit on the number of VLANs I can have correct?

1K VLAN for 2960-X

Your distributor mixed up two different things. I assume he was thinking about the number of static routes when routing is activated on these devices. There you can only have 16 static routes on the 2960-X which should also be not a relevant limit in your scenario.
