Features
The HP 2530 Switch Series consists of 12 fully managed Layer 2 edge switches
Deliver cost-effective, reliable, secure, and easy-to-use connectivity to business networks
Designed for entry-level to midsize enterprise networks, these Gigabit and Fast Ethernet switches
With optional PoE+, enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, and IPv6 host support
For customers implementing Power over Ethernet for voice, video, or wireless deployments
The HP 2530 PoE+ switches are IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at compliant with up to 30 W per port
The switch series is easy to use, deploy, and manage via SNMP, CLI, and Web GUI
It offers flexible wall, table, and rack mounting
Quiet operation with fanless and variable speed fan models
Improved power savings, with features such as IEEE 802.3 az (Energy Efficient Ethernet)
Include a lifetime warranty, as well as all software releases and technical phone support
Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification
With support for eight priority levels mapped to either two or four queues
Uses weighted deficit round robin (WDRR) or strict priority (SP)
Simplified QoS configuration: Port-based: prioritizes traffic by specifying a port @ priority level
VLAN-based: prioritizes traffic by specifying a VLAN and priority level
Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address
IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ
Rate limiting: sets per-port ingress enforced maximums for all ingressed traffic
For broadcast, multicast, or unknown destination traffic
Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
Choice of management interfaces: Web graphical user interface (GUI)
HTML-based easy-to-use graphical interface allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser
(CLI): provides advanced configuration and diagnostics through a robust CLI
(SNMPv1/v2c/v3): allows a switch to be managed w/ a variety of third-party network management apps.
Virtual stacking: provides single IP address management for up to 16 switches
sFlow (RFC 3176): delivers wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring configured by SNMP
CLI with three terminal encrypted receivers
(LLDP): automates device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
Logging: provides local and remote logging of events via SNMP (v2c and v3) and syslog
Provides log throttling and log filtering to reduce the number of log events generated
IPv6: IPv6 host: allows the switch to be deployed and managed at the edge of an IPv6 network
Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6): supports connectivity for both protocols
Provides a transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6
MLD snooping: forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface
Prevents IPv6 multicast traffic from flooding the network
(PoE): provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices
Such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras
IEEE 802.3at Power Over Ethernet Plus: provides up to 30 W per port
Auto-MDIX: adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports
Pre-standard PoE support: detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices
VLANs: provides support for 512 VLANs and 4,094 VLAN IDs
Jumbo packet support: supports up to 9220-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data
8- and 24-port Fast Ethernet models automatically support up to 2000-byte frames
With no configuration needed
16K MAC address table: provides access to many Layer 2 devices
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+): allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree
Improve link bandwidth usage in network environments with multiple VLANs
Access control lists (ACLs): accommodates IPv4/IPv6 port and VLAN-based ACLs
(IPv6 ACL is supported only on Gigabit Ethernet and 48-port models)
RADIUS/TACACS+: eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication
Source-port filtering: allows only specified ports to communicate with each other
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): encrypts all HTTP traffic
Allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch
Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses
Which can be learned or specified by the administrator
Lifetime warranty, advance replacement, next business day, phone support, software releases
