■Power-over-Ethernet or PoE power - The HP 2530 PoE+ switches support the IEEE 802.3at standard, which allows IP telephones, wireless LAN Access Points, and other appliances to receive power as well as data over existing LAN cabling, without needing to modify the existing Ethernet infrastructure.

■The HP 2530 PoE+ switches are designed with an internal PoE power supply capable of providing 370 watts of PoE power (HP 2530 48-port switches), 190 watts (HP 2530 24-port switches), or 62 watts (HP 2530 8- port switches). Each switch port can provide up to 30 watts (7.5 watts if all ports are used) of PoE power to connected devices. For further

1-3

Introducing the Switch

information regarding PoE power, see the HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/ PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the HP Web site at www.hp.com/networking/support.

■Dual-personality ports - These ports use either the 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 connector, or a supported HP SFP transceiver for fiber-optic connection. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled.

These switches can be directly connected to computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or routers. In addition, these switches can be fully managed by HP SNMP-based and browser-based network management tools.

Using HP SFPs, these products support optional network connectivity with the following speeds and technologies:

(green/orange)	Flashing	The cooling fan has failed. The switch Fault LED will be flashing
	orange2	simultaneously.
Test	Off	The normal operational state; the switch is not undergoing self test.
(green/orange)	On green	The switch self test and initialization are in progress after the switch has
		been power cycled or reset. The switch is not operational until this LED
		goes off. The Test LED also comes on briefly when you “hot swap” an SFP
		into the switch; the SFP is tested when it is hot swapped.
	Flashing	A component of the switch has failed its self test. The switch Fault LED,
	orange2	Test LED, and the failed component LED will flash simultaneously.
1 The flashing behavior is an on/off cycle once every 0.8 seconds approximately, a fast flash.

This button is for:

■Resetting the switch - When the switch is powered on. This action clears any temporary error conditions that may have occurred and executes the switch self test.

■Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the Clear button in a specific pattern, any configuration changes you may have made through the switch console, the Web browser interface, and SNMP management are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the switch. For the specific method to restore the factory default configuration, see “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration” on page 4-12 of this manual.

Clear Button

This button is used for:

■Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and need console access. This button is provided as a convenience, however if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location. This button can be disabled by a CLI command.

■Restoring Factory Default Configuration - See Reset Button above.

Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the RJ-45 to DB9 cable, supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “7. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch” on page 2-20 in chapter 2, “Installing the Switch.” The console can be a PC or workstation running a VT100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.

You can also connect a console to the switch using the Micro USB console port (cable not provided). Use a USB 2.0 high-speed cable with male type A (4-pin) to male micro-B (5-pin) connectors. The maximum allowable length is 5 meters.

Power Connector

The HP 2530 24-port and 48-port switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source. The switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

The HP 2530 8-port switches do not have a power switch, they are powered on when the external AC/DC power adapter is connected to the switch and to a power source. The external AC/DC power adapter supplies 12 volts DC or 54 volts DC (for PoE+ switches) to the switch and automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between 100-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.

Switch Features

The features of the HP 2530 Switches include:

■8, 24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports with Auto-MDIX, or 8, 24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports with Auto-MDIX.

■Two dual-personality ports (HP 2530 8-port switches).

■Two auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and two SFP uplink slots supporting HP SFP transceivers (HP 2530 24-port and 48-port Fast Ethernet switches).

■Four SFP uplink slots supporting HP SFP transceivers (HP 2530 24-port and 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switches).

1-12

Introducing the Switch

Switch Features

■PoE+ operation—the switches are IEEE 802.3at compliant and provide up to 30W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, Web cameras, and more. For more information, see the HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the HP Web site at www.hp.com/networking/support.

■The switches support some pre-standard PoE devices. However, the use of a cross-over cable may be required.

■Plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the network cables to active network devices and your switched network is operational.

■Auto-MDIX on all twisted-pair ports, meaning that all twisted-pair connections can be made using straight-through cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work.

■Automatic learning of the hardware addresses in each switch’s 16000address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).

■Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices.

■A “Save Power” mode option that keeps port LEDs turned off except for when the LED Mode select button is pressed.

■An automatic low-power mode for ports when a link is not present.

■Easy management of the switches through several available interfaces:

•Console interface — a full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal interface that is especially good for out-of-band switch management or for Telnet access to the switch.

•Web browser interface — an easy to use built-in graphical interface that can be accessed from common Web browsers.

•SNMP-based network management:

–HP PCM/PCM+ — a graphical network management tool that you can use to manage your entire small to medium-sized network.

–Intelligent Management Center (IMC) — the HP graphics network management tool intended to manage any sized network. IMC support for the HP 2530 switches is planned for early 2013. Go to www.hp.com/networking to check on support availability.

■Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops.

■Support for up to 512 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.

■Download of new switch software for product enhancements or bug fixes.

■Variable speed fans ensure quiet operation.

Installation Precautions

■The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.

Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.

■Wall-mount the switches with network ports facing up or down. Do not mount the switches with the ventilation or fan ducts facing up or down.

■When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off.

■Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded.

■Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cord (if applicable), supplied with the switch. Use of other adapters or power cords, including those that came with other HP Networking products, may result in damage to the equipment.

For those switches that use a power cord, if your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency the defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.

■Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. Maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.

■Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 45°C (113°F). This includes a fully-enclosed

rack. Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.

■Ensure all port covers are installed when the port is not in use.

Installation Procedures

Installation Procedures

These steps summarize your switch installation. The rest of this chapter provides details on these steps.

1.Prepare the installation site (page 2-8). Make sure the physical environment into which you will be installing the switch is properly prepared, including having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch and having an appropriate location for the switch. See page 2-6 for some installation precautions.

2.Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-9). Plug the switch into a power source and observe that the LEDs on the switch’s front panel indicate correct switch operation.

3.Mount the switch (page 2-11). The switch can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, under a table, or on a horizontal surface.

4.Connect power to the switch (page 2-16). Once the switch is mounted, plug it into the main power source.

5.Connect the network devices (page 2-18). Using the appropriate network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.

6.(Optional) Install SFP transceivers (page 2-19). The switch has four slots for installing SFP transceivers. Depending on where you install the switch, it may be easier to install the SFPs first. SFPs can be hot swapped—they can be installed or removed while the switch is powered on.

7.(Optional) Connect a console to the switch (page 2-20). You may wish to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP address so it can be managed using a Web browser, from an SNMP network management station, or through a Telnet session. Configuration changes can be made by using the included console cable to connect a PC to the switch’s console port.

At this point, your switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
