I believe you mean to say Catalyst 2960 ?
The cisco 2960 series is considered to have layer 2+ functionality, as it demonstrates some routing abilities without being robust enough to handle the same as a 3560 / 3750 / 3850
The cisco 2960-X does have limited layer 3 routing capability. Simply, it only supports a limited number of static or default routes.
The 2960-XR uses something called IP-Lite and supports dynamic routing (RIP and partial OSPF), but is still very limited in its layer 3 functionality.

Hi,
The 2960-X series switches are mainly layer-2 with limited layer-3 functionalities based on the license you have. What is your license and what are you trying to do with this switch?

I plan to do Stack switch of 2690 ( 4 switches ) , the main role of this Stack is for user and some server Vlans in Production Env (Voice/data Vlan , and some Vlans for Vmware Env ) .The routing will be done by PaloAlto(Firewall) and before to purchase theses switches i want to know if they support POE,IP Helper...)

The 2960X series switches are designed for campus environments and not for data center, servers, and VM connectivity. For servers and VMs, Nexus is a better choice.
