Switch features
The features of the HP PS1810 Switches include:
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—all connections can be made using
■
straight-through twisted-pair cables. Cross-over cable is not required, although
it works.
Support for IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) features that reduce
■
power consumption when connected with EEE-compliant devices.
Support for automatic discovery and health status reporting of HP ProLiant Gen8
■
Servers.
Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for all 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-
■
45 ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices.
Easy management of the switch through several available interfaces:
■
•
Switch-web interface —an easy-to-use built-in graphical interface that can
be accessed from common Web browsers.
•
HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) — allows network administrators
to discover and map the switches within their network and launch the built-
in graphical interface from within IMC to configure the switches.
Support for up to 4 trunks for the PS1810-8G and up to 12 trunks for the PS
■
1810-24G so that you can assign physical links to one logical link (trunk) that
functions as a single, higher-speed link providing dramatically increased
bandwidth. Also known as Link Aggregation.
Support for up to 64 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the
■
attached end nodes into logical groups that fit your business needs.
Support for many advanced features to enhance network performance—for a
