on the network, the switch falls back to a default, fixed IP address.
Quality of Service (QoS)
Traffic prioritization
Provides time-sensitive packets (like VoIP and video) with priority over other traffic based on DSCP or IEEE 802.1p
classification; packets are mapped to eight hardware queues for more effective throughput.
Broadcast control
Allows limiting of broadcast traffic rate to reduce unwanted network broadcast traffic.
IEEE 802.1p/Q
Delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic; supports IEEE 802.1Q.
Connectivity
Auto-MDI/MDIX
Automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports.
IEEE 802.3X flow control
Provides a flow throttling mechanism propagated through the network to prevent packet loss at a congested node.
Loop protection
If the switch detects a loop, it disables the source port from forwarding data packets originating from the switch to avoid
broadcast storms.
SFP ports for fiber connectivity
Provides fiber connections for uplinks and other connections across longer distances than copper cabling can support;
SFP ports are in addition to available copper Ethernet ports, providing a higher total number of available ports. SFP ports
available on 24- and 48 port models.
IEEE 802.3af PoE-powered device option
Obtains power provided by a standard PoE device connected to Port 1; deploy the switch wherever an Ethernet cable can
reach as a power outlet is not needed (8-port GbE non-PoE+ model only).
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+)
Provides up to 30W per port, which allows support of the latest PoE+-capable devices such as IP phones, wireless access
points, and security cameras, as well as any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device; lowers the cost of additional electrical
cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments.
PoE+ port availability
Ports 1-4 provide PoE+ on the HP 1820-8G-PoE+ (65W) switch. Ports 1 – 12 provide PoE+ on the HP 1820-24G-PoE+
(180W) switch. Ports 1-24 provide PoE+ on the HP 1820-48G-PoE+ (370W) switch.
Auto PoE power configuration
The switch automatically assigns the required power to a port for a PD device based on LLDP (Link Layer Discovery
Protocol). Optionally, the switch permits manual, per port, PoE power configuration.
PoE shut down mode
A PoE scheduler provides the ability to define the hours of PoE power being supplied on a group of switch ports based on
a 24 hour day. The scheduler enables the flexibility to select individual days of a week as well as reoccurrence on a weekly
basis with a start and end date.
Energy Efficient Ethernet
Compliant with IEEE 802.3az standard requirements to save energy during periods of low data activity.
Auto port shut-down
The switch saves power by automatically shutting down power to inactive ports. Power is restored on a port upon link
detection.
Energy savings status
The switch provides an estimated cumulative energy savings due to green Ethernet features enabled.
Security
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch.
