HPE 2615 Switch Series
Data sheet
Product overview
The HPE 2615 Switch Series is a family of fully managed 8-port 10/100 switches, each with two
additional dual-personality gigabit Ethernet ports for copper or SFP connectivity. Bringing together
static and RIP IPv4 routing, robust security and management, enterprise-class features, Limited
Lifetime Warranty, and software updates included, these PoE switches deliver a comprehensive and
cost-eective solution.
The 2615 Switch Series has a fan-less design for quiet operation, making it suitable for deployments
in open spaces. In addition, its compact form factor allows for flexible deployments—including wall,
surface, or rack mounting. These switches can be deployed at the enterprise edge and remote
branch oices, as well as on converged networks.
A summary of the highlights of the 2615 Switch Series:
• Scalable 10/100 connectivity
• L2 and L3 switching capabilities
• sFlow, ACLs, and rate limiting
• Energy-eicient design and quiet operation
• Rack-mountable, compact form factor

• Flow control
Helps ensure reliable communications during full-duplex operation
• To S

commands; display output is formatted as on Comware-based switches, and fundamental
commands provide a Comware-familiar initial switch setup
– Configuration Comware CLI commands - when Comware commands are entered, CLI help
is elicited to formulate the correct ProVision software CLI command
