HP 2810 Switch Series

 HP 2810 Switch series consist of two types of switches in it. One is the 24-Port HP 2810-24G switch & the Second one is 48-Port HP 2810-48G Switch. First one has the 20 10/100/1000 ports while the second one consists of 44 10/100/1000 ports.

            Each of the switches consists of four Dual personality ports for RJ-45 (normal internet, cable connector) 10/100/1000 or mini GBIC Fiber Gigabit connectivity.

Layer 2 features with 24 or 48 GB Port:

            HP 2810 Switch series comes up with the layer 2 approach (traditional switching) which means its OSI operates on layers 2, where MAC addresses or physical addresses are used to send the packets to the destination device. A layer 2 approach is very easy to deploy because in this approach the device (sender) is, in other words directly connected to another device (receiver). For example, if a device having MAC address XY sends the packet on Port 1, so the switch has its data saved in it and it will directly extract data from that port instead of searching within all the ports and wasting its time. That’s why this is a very timely device and effective in use.

Security:

            This switch series of HP allows the security of port that means the administrator can have direct access to specific ports using its MAC address. It also enables the facility of protected ports that means there can be a number of specified ports which can only be used by the shared resources. No one will be allowed to use them except the allowed ones.

            This series enables the speed traffic accounting and monitoring, also facilitates the remote monitoring that refers to reporting capabilities for statistics, alarms & history. It has the feature of the Dual Flash image which provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading.

            It automatically prevents the flooding of IP multicast traffic. It is very easy to use as it provides a Locator LED (switch) on it which allows the user to set the LED on a specified switch to either turn it on/off or blinking. It simplifies Troubleshooting.
