Overview Designed to provide essential solutions to Small Business Networks, the Pro Curve Switch 2510 Series consists of four Layer 2 managed switches that provide reliable 10/100 & 10/100/1000 connectivity. Building off of the popularity of the 2510-24, a 24-port 10/100 switch with two dual-personality ports, the 2510 series has expanded to include a higher-density 2510-48, with 48 10/100 ports & four Gigabit uplinks. in addition, the 2510G switches add Gigabit to the 2510 series, with the 2510G-24 & 2510G-48, 24- & 48-port 10/100/1000 switches, each with 4 dual-personality ports--ideal for businesses that are ready to upgrade to increased network performance. Features Connectivity • 10/100 & 10/100/1000 connectivity: provides customers with the choice to select the network connectivity speed that best meets their needs, with a consistent user experience Resiliency & high availability • IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees; provides legacy support for IEEE 802.1d & IEEE 802.1w Layer 2 switching • VLAN support & tagging: support up to 64 port-based VLANs & dynamic configuration of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups Security • Protected Ports: provides increased security by allowing specified ports to be isolated from all other ports on the switch; the protected port or ports can only communicate with the uplink or shared resources Convergence • IP multicast snooping: automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic Quality of Service (Qo S) • IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority & type of traffic Manageability • IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
