HP 2530 Switch Series
Product overview
The HP 2530 Switch Series consists of four fully managed Layer 2 edge switches, delivering cost-effective, reliable, and secure connectivity for business networks. Designed for entry-level to midsize enterprise networks, these Gigabit Ethernet switches deliver full Layer 2 capabilities with enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, IPv6 host support, and optional PoE+, and include a product lifetime warranty.Each 2530 switch has 24 or 48 RJ-45 10/100/1000 ports and four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slots for fiber connectivity. For customers implementing Power over Ethernet for voice, video, or wireless deployments, the HP 2530-24G-PoE+ and the HP 2530-48G-PoE+ Switches are IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at compliant with up to 30 W per port.
The HP 2530 Switch Series is easy to use, deploy, and manage via SNMP, CLI, and Web GUI. The series offers flexible wall, table, and rack mounting; quiet operation; and improved power savings, with features such as IEEE 802.3 az (Energy Efficient Ethernet). These switches include a lifetime warranty and all software releases and technical phone support.

- Power and fault LEDs — display any issues
Connectivity
- IPv6 —
- IPv6 host — allows the switch to be deployed and managed at the edge of an IPv6 network
- Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6) — supports connectivity for both protocols; provides a transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6
- MLD snooping — forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface; prevents IPv6 multicast traffic from flooding the network
- IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) — provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras

- Auto-MDIX — adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports
- Pre-standard PoE support — detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices; see list of supported devices in the product FAQ at www.hp.com/networking/support
- Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) slots — provides fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, -LH, and -BX with four SFP slots
- Dual-personality (RJ-45 or USB micro-B) serial console port — gives easy access to switch CLI via front switch location of dual-personality RJ-45 or USB micro-B serial console port
Layer 2 switching

- Secure management access — securely encrypts all access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2 and SNMPv3
- Custom banner — displays security policy when users log in to the switch
- Secure FTP — allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of a switch configuration file
- Protected ports CLI — offers intuitive CLI to configure the source-port filters feature by allowing specified ports to be isolated from all other ports on the switch; the protected port or ports can communicate only with the uplink or shared resources
- Authentication flexibility —
- Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port — provides authentication of up to eight IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents user "piggybacking" on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication
