ProCurve 2520-24 PoE Switch

Overview
The ProCurve 2520-8-PoE Switch is a fully managed, Layer 2, 8-port 10/100 switch with 2 dual-personality Gigabit ports for copper or SFP connectivity. The 2520-8-PoE is fanless, ensuring quiet operation and making it ideal for deployment in open spaces. In addition, the compact-form factor allows for flexible deployment including wall, surface, or rack-mounting

Features
Management

• Choice of management interfaces: Web graphical user interface (GUI): easy-to-use graphical interface allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser; Command-line interface (CLI), robust command-line interface provides advanced configuration and diagnostics; Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2c/SNMPv3): allows switch to be managed with a variety of third-party network management applications


Connectivity

• Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports


Performance

• Switch on a chip: highly integrated, high-performance switch design with a non-blocking architecture


Resiliency and high availability

• Port trunking and link aggregation: Trunking, supports up to eight links per trunk to increase bandwidth and create redundant connections; IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP), eases configuration of trunks through automatic configuration


Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and up to 256 port-based VLANs simultaneously


Security

• Manager and operator privilege levels: enables read-only (operator) and read-write (manager) access on management interfaces


Convergence

• LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): a standard extension of LLDP that automatically configures network devices such as IP phones
