Introducing the HP 2920 Switches
Switch Features
1-20
Automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch's 16,000-
■
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—the SFP/SFP+
ports (available on an optional 10G module) always operate at full duplex.
Easy management of the switch through several available interfaces:
■
• console interface—a full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal
interface for out-of-band switch management (through the console
port or Management network ports) or in-band Telnet access to the
switch.
• Web browser interface—an easy to use built-in graphical interface
that can be accessed from common web browsers.
• HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC)—an SNMP-based,
graphical network management tool that you can use to manage your
entire network.
■ Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops.
Support for up to 256 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide
■
the attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.
Support for many advanced features to enhance network performance—

for a description, see the HP 2920 Management and Configuration
Guide at www.hp.com/networking/support.
■ Ability to update the switch software. Software updates are routinely
available from HP.
An auxiliary port (USB Type A connector) for processing a USB command
■
file and updating switch software.
■ Low power operation:
• Ports on a switch or stack member may be set to operate at reduced
power.
• Port status LEDs may be turned off.
RJ-45 ports will operate at reduced power if the port is not connected (link
partner is not detected).
