Product overview

HPE OiceConnect 1620 Switch Series are entry configurable switches for small business
networking, a step up from unmanaged devices, with features to enhance network security,
performance and reliability. The series is part of the OiceConnect portfolio of Hewlett Packard
Enterprise small business networking products.

These Gigabit switches are plug-and-play out of the box, yet network operations can be fine-tuned
through features available from a simple Web browser-based GUI, if necessary. Enhance security
using virtual LANs, link aggregation, or IGMP Snooping boost uplink performance, and loop
prevention enhances network reliability.

The series consists of 8-, 24-, and 48-port 10/100/1000BASE-T models each providing non­blocking gigabit per port performance. All models can be rack mounted and include the
necessary rack-mounting hardware; the 8-port model can also be wall mounted. All models come
with internal power supplies and localized power cord removing the need to manage external
power adapters. The 8- and 24-port models are fanless for silent operation.

This series comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty providing advance hardware replacement
with next business day shipment in most countries, 24x7 phone support available for the first
90 days, and electronic and business hours phone support for the entire warranty period.

Features and benefits

Management

• Simple Web management

Allows for easy management of the switch even by nontechnical users through an intuitive
Web GUI; supports HTTP and HTTP Secure (HTTPS)

• Secure Web GUI

Provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the switch via HTTPS

• SNMPv1, v2c, and v3

Facilitates management of the switch, as the device can be discovered and monitored from an
SNMP management station

• Port mirroring

Enables traic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring

• Default DHCP Client mode

Allows the switch to be directly connected to a network, enabling plug-and-play operation; in
absence of a DHCP server on the network, the switch will fall back to a unique static address
determined by the switch’s MAC address

• Network Time Protocol (NTP)

Synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps timekeeping
consistent among all clock-dependent devices within the network so that the devices can
provide diverse applications based on the consistent time

• Manual network time configuration

Manually set the date and time on the switch in the absence of a NTP server

• Dual flash images

Provide independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading

Quality of service (QoS)

• IEEE 8021p prioritization with DSCP

Delivers data from the switch to devices based on the priority and type of traic using
Dierentiated Services Code Point (DSCP)

• Broadcast control

Allows limitation of broadcast traic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traic

• Rate limiting

Sets per-port ingress enforced maximums and per-port, per-queue minimums

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

• Loopback detection

If the switch detects a loop, it disables the source port from forwarding data packets originating
from the switch to avoid broadcast storms

• Energy Eicient Ethernet

Compliant with IEEE 8023az standard requirements to save energy during periods of low data
activity

• Port power save mode

Enables a port to operate at the lowest transmission speed or go down during a specific time
range on certain days of a week. The port resumes when the eective time period ends

• Cable test

Performs a check on the status of the cable connected to an Ethernet port on the device.
The test determines whether a short circuit or open circuit is present on the cable and the
approximate length to the fault in the cable

Performance

• Half- and full-duplex auto-negotiating capability on every port doubles the throughput of
every port

• IGMP Snooping, v1, v2, and v3

Improves network performance through multicast filtering, instead of flooding traic to all ports

Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging

Supports IEEE 8021Q with 4096 simultaneous VLAN IDs

• Jumbo frame support

Supports up to 10 kilobyte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers
