The HP 2530 Switch Series switches deliver cost-effective, reliable, secure, and easy-to-use connectivity to business networks. Designed for entry-level to midsize enterprise networks, these Gigabit switches deliver full Layer 2 capabilities with Po E+, enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, and IPv 6 host support. Features Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) Simplified Qo S configuration Class of Service (Co S) Rate limiting Layer 4 prioritization Comm&-line interface (CLI) IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) IPv 6 host MLD snooping IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (Po E) IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus Auto-MDIX 16K MAC address table GARP VLAN registration protocol Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) It allows real-time traffic classification with support for eight priority levels mapped to either the queues, it uses weighted deficit round robin (WDRR) or strict priority (SP). Simplified Qo S configuration It prioritizes traffic by specifying a port & priority level. VLAN-based prioritizes traffic by specifying a VLAN & priority level. Class of Service (Co S) It sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (To S), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and Diff Serv. Rate limiting It sets per-port ingress enforced maximums for all ingressed traffic or for broadcast, multicast, or unknown destination traffic. Layer 4 prioritization It enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers. Comm&-line interface (CLI) It provides advanced configuration & diagnostics through a robust CLI. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv 1/v 2c/v 3) allows a switch to be managed with a variety of third-party network management applications. IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) It automates device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications. IPv 6 host It allows the switch to be deployed & managed at the edge of an IPv 6 network. Dual stack (IPv 4/IPv 6) supports connectivity for both protocols & provides a transition mechanism from IPv 4 to IPv 6. MLD snooping It forwards IPv 6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface;prevents IPv 6 multicast traffic from flooding the network. IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (Po E) It provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant Po E-powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus It provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3 for Po E/ Po E+ powered devices such as video IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, and advanced pan/tilt/zoom security cameras. Auto-MDIX It adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports. 16K MAC address table It provides access to many Layer 2 devices. GARP VLAN registration protocol It allows automatic learning & dynamic assignment of VLANs.
