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 deliver full Layer 2 capabilities with optional PoE+
Enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, and IPv6 host support
The HP 2530 Switch Series offers uplink flexibility with four Gigabit Ethernet uplinks
Gigabit Ethernet uplinks are four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slots for fiber connectivity
The Fast Ethernet 24- and 48-port models have two SFPs and two RJ-45 Gigabit uplinks
The compact and fanless 8-port switches offer additional flexibility with two dual-personality port
Can be used as either RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet or SFP ports
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)
These switches include a lifetime warranty
As well as all software releases and technical phone support
HTML-based easy-to-use graphical interface allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser
Command-line interface (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 and 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
Power over Ethernet Plus: provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3 for PoE/PoE+-powered devices
Such as video IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, & advanced pan/tilt/zoom security cam
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
Improve the performance of large data transfers
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
To improve link bandwidth usage in network environments with multiple VLANs
Lifetime Warranty
