  • Page 6 Rear interfaces Description Uplink port (RJ-45 or punch-down Auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port with both an RJ-45 connector and block) punch-down block. Only one connector can be used at a time. Managed by the access device. Ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 are connected to the Uplink port by way of the internal Ethernet switch.
  • Page 7: Integrated Switch

    Integrated switch Ports 1 to 4 and the Uplink port are connected to the built-in Ethernet switch. Each port on the switch can be a member of a VLAN. These port-based VLANs let you reduce broadcast traffic and increase network security. Reset button The reset button is located to the left of Port 1.
  • Page 8: Power

    The access device will be powered off by the PoE power source if there is an over-current situation. The HP Switch 2610 series features several models with PoE support that can be used in conjunction with the access device to build a cost-effective wireless networking infrastructure.
  • Page 9 Cabling: You must use the appropriate cables, and where applicable, surge protection, for your given region. For compliance with EN55022 Class-B emissions requirements use shielded Ethernet cables. Country of use: In some regions, you are prompted to select the country of use during setup. Once the country has been set, the controller will automatically limit the available wireless channels, ensuring compliant operation in the selected country.

    packets and simply drops them. Loop protection has no such limitation, and can be used to prevent loops on unmanaged switches. Quality of service The quality of service (QoS) feature provides a number of different mechanisms to prioritize traffic from the switch ports when it is forwarded on the Uplink port. This is useful when the access device handles traffic from multiple devices that have different data flow requirements.

    DiffServ (Differentiated Services) This mechanism classifies traffic based on the value of the Differentiated Services (DS) codepoint field in IPv4 and IPv6 packet headers (as defined in RFC2474).

    Egress rate Set the maximum rate at which this port will send traffic. This rate applies to all outgoing traffic (broadcast, multicast, and unicast). Traffic in excess of the set rate is delayed. Traffic Indicates the type of traffic to which egress rate limiting applies. It is set to All (broadcast, multicast, and unicast), and cannot be changed.

    Under Global, specify a name to identify the MAC address list. Under MAC list, specify the MAC address and mask that you want to match, then select Add. For example: The following definition matches a single MAC address: MAC address=00:03:52:07:2B:43 Mask=FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF By changing the last digit of the mask, the definition now matches a range of MAC addresses from 00:03:52:07:2B:40 to 00:03:52:07:2B:4F: MAC address=00:03:52:07:2B:43 Mask=FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F0...
