HP 2530-24G-PoE+-2SFP+ Switch
Fixed Port L2 Managed Ethernet Switches

Features & Benefits:

Quality of Service (QoS)

• 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 — prioritize traffic by specifying a port and priority level
  • VLAN-based — prioritize 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, or for broadcast, multicast or unknown destination traffic
• Layer 4 prioritization — enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
• Flow control — helps deliver reliable communication during full-duplex operation

Management

• 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

  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv1/v2c/v3) — allows switch to be managed with a variety of third-party network management applications
• Virtual stacking — single IP address management up to 16 switches
• sFlow (RFC 3176) — wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring configured by SNMP and CLI with three terminal encrypted receivers
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (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

• Multiple configuration files — allow multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image
• Front-panel LEDs —
  • Locator LED — allows users to set the locator LED on a specific switch to either turn on, blink, or turn off; simplifies troubleshooting by making it easy to locate a particular switch within a rack of similar switches
  • Per-port LEDs — provides an at-a-glance view of status, activity, speed and full-duplex operation
  • Power and fault LEDs — display any issues

Connectivity

• 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
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (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 to IEEE 802.3 for PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as video IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points and advanced pan/tilt/zoom security cameras (see product specifications for total PoE power available)
• 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; see list of supported devices in the product FAQ at www.hp.com/networking/support
• Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) slots — provides fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, -LH, and -BX with four SFP slots
• Dual-personality (RJ-45 or USB micro-B) serial console port — gives easy access to switch CLI via front switch location of dual-personality RJ-45 or USB micro-B serial console port

Layer 2 switching

• VLANs — provide 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 transfers
• 16K MAC address table — provides access to many Layer 2 devices

Security

• Access control lists (ACLs) — accomnodates IPv4/IPv6 port and VLAN-based ACLs
• Source-port filtering — allows only specified ports to communicate with each other
• RADIUS/TACACS+ — eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
• 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
• MAC address lockout — prevents particular configured MAC addresses from connecting to the network
• Multiple user authentication methods —
  • IEEE 802.1X — is an industry-standard method of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server
  • Web-based authentication — similar to IEEE 802.1X, it provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
  • MAC-based authentication — authenticates the client with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
• Secure Shell (SSHv2) (client and server) — encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote CLI access over IP networks
• Secure Shell — encrypts all transmitted data for secure remote CLI access over IP networks
• STP BPDU port protection — blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks
• STP Root Guard — protects the root bridge from malicious attacks or configuration mistakes
• Secure management access — securely encrypts all access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2 and SNMPv3
• Custom banner — displays security policy when users log in to the switch
• Secure FTP — allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of a switch configuration file
• Protected ports CLI — offers intuitive CLI to configure the source-port filters feature by allowing specified ports to be isolated from all other ports on the switch; the protected port or ports can communicate only with the uplink or shared resources
• Authentication flexibility —
  • Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port — provides authentication of up to eight IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents user "piggybacking" on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication
  • Concurrent IEEE 802.1X and Web or MAC authentication schemes per port — switch port will accept any of IEEE 802.1X and either Web or MAC authentications
• Switch management logon security — helps secure switch CLI logon by optionally requiring either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication
