Connectivity
-
10/100 and 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
NEW!
-
Gigabit uplinks:
-
2510-24 and 2510-48
the 2510-24 has two dual-personality ports for either 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC connectivity; the 2510-48 has four Gigabit ports, which can all be used concurrently with two 10/100/1000 ports and two open mini-GBIC slots
-
2510G-24 and 2510G-48
four dual personality for 10/100/1000 or SFP ports for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, -LH, or 100-FX
-
ProCurve Auto-MDIX:
automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 copper ports
Resiliency and 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 and IEEE 802.1w
-
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking:
-
2510-24 supports up to two 10/100 trunks each with four links/ports plus one Gigabit trunk
-
2510-48 supports up to 24 10/100 trunks with eight links/ports per trunk
-
2510G switches support up to 24 trunks with eight links/ports per trunk
Layer 2 switching
-
VLAN support and tagging:
support up to 64 port-based VLANs and dynamic configuration of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups
-
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol:
allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
-
Jumbo packet support:
supports up to 9,216-byte frame size to improve performance of large data transfers
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 uplinks or shared resources
-
Multiple user authentication methods:
-
IEEE 802.1X
industry-standard way of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server
-
Web-based authentication
similar to IEEE 802.1X, provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
-
MAC-based authentication
client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
-
Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port:
provides authentication of up to two IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents user "piggybacking" on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication
-
BPDU port protection:
blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks
-
Secure management access:
all access methods--CLI, GUI, or MIB--are securely encrypted through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3
-
TACACS+:
eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
Convergence
-
IP multicast (data-driven IGMPv3):
automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic (except 2510-24)
Quality of Service (QoS)
-
IEEE 802.1p prioritization:
delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
Manageability
-
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP):
automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
-
RMON:
provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
-
Friendly port names:
allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
-
Full-featured console:
provides complete control of the switch with a familiar command-line interface (CLI)
-
Web interface:
allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser on the network
-
Stacking capability:
single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches, including the ProCurve 2500 series, 2510 series, 2600 series, 2610 series, 2800 series, 2810 series, 2900 series, 3400cl series, 3500yl series, 4200vl series, 6108, 6200yl-24G-mGBIC, and 6400cl series
-
Find-Fix-and-Inform:
finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs administrator
-
Dual flash images:
provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
-
Software updates:
free downloads from the Web
Flexibility
-
Fanless design:
reduces noise and distractions when deployed in open spaces (2510-24 only)
-
Multiple port density and connectivity speed options:
provide choice and flexibility with a consistent user experience
