Switch Features - HP 2530 SERIES Installation And Getting Started Manual

Switch Features

The following are the features of the Switches:
■ 24 or 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports with Auto-MDIX.
Two SFP+ uplink slots supporting HP SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
■
■ PoE+ operation—the switches are IEEE 802.3 at compliant and provide
up to 30W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, Web
cameras, and more. For more information, see the HP Power over
Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on
the HP Web site at www.hp.com/networking/support.
The switches support some pre-standard PoE devices. However, the use
■
of a cross-over cable may be required.
Plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the
■
network cables to active network devices and your switched network is
operational.
■ Auto-MDIX on all twisted-pair ports, meaning that all twisted-pair
connections can be made using straight-through cables. Cross-over cables
are not required, although they will also work.
Automatic learning of the hardware addresses in each switch's 16000-
■
address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).
■ Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100/1000 RJ-45
ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices.
■ A "Save Power" mode option that keeps port LEDs turned off except for
when the LED Mode select button is pressed.
An automatic low-power mode for ports when a link is not present.
■
■ Easy management of the switches through several available interfaces:
• Console interface — a full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal
interface that is especially good for out-of-band switch management
or for Telnet access to the switch.
• Web browser interface — an easy to use built-in graphical interface
that can be accessed from common Web browsers.
• SNMP-based network management:
– HP PCM/PCM+ — a graphical network management tool that
you can use to manage your entire small to medium-sized
network.
