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
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
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
(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
Power over Ethernet Plus: provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3 for PoE/PoE+-powered devices
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
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
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
(SSL): encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI
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
