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
Offers uplink flexibility with four Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on all 24- and 48-port models
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
With two dual-personality ports that can be used as either RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet or SFP ports
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)
These switches 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
Rate limiting: sets per-port ingress enforced maximums for all ingressed 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 with a variety of third-party network management app.
Virtual stacking: provides single IP address management for up to 16 switches
(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
Auto-MDIX: adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports
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
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
