The HPE 1820 Switch Series offers more choice & flexibility for smaller organizations that require ease of use & lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), while delivering better network performance. They are smart-managed, fixed configuration, Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switches in an easy-to-administer solution that have the latest energy-saving capabilities. These switches are plug-&-play out of the box, where network operation can be fine-tuned through features available from a simple Web browser-based GUI, when needed. Key selling points Easy-to-Use, Simple to Deploy & Manage The HPE 1820 Switch Series features an intuitive Web management interface with an enhanced navigation pane for easy management of devices by non-technical users. The HPE 1820 Switch Series is ideal for organizations that require simplicity. The series gives you flexibility & choice with a complete portfolio. You get six rack-mountable models including three non-Power over Ethernet (Po E) models. Some models include SFP ports for fiber connectivity. Customizable features include VLANs, Spanning Tree, Link aggregation trunking, & IGMP Snooping. All models include Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) & DSCP Qo S policies. These switches support flexible installation options, including mounting on walls, under tables or on desk tops. Some models are of a fan-less design, making them quiet for office deployments. Energy Efficiency & Lower TCO The HPE 1820 Switch Series include the latest energy-savings capabilities, including Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE), idle-port power down & Po E Port Scheduler. The 8-port Gigabit Ethernet model can be powered by an upstream Po E switch for environments where no line power is available. All switches are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Quality of Service (Qo S) The HPE 1820 Switch Series traffic prioritization provides time sensitive packets (like Vo IP & video) with priority over other traffic based on DSCP or IEEE 802.1p classification. Packets are mapped to eight hardware queues for more effective throughput. Broadcast control allows limiting of broadcast traffic rate, to reduce unwanted network broadcast traffic. IEEE 802.11p/Q delivers data to devices based on the priority & type of traffic. Ideal for Standards-based switches range from plug-&-play simplicity to fully-managed with the performance needed to support bandwidth-intensive applications such as video. They are energy-efficient & many are backed by comprehensive lifetime warranties.
