HPE 2620 Switch Series

Product overview

The HPE 2620 Switch Series consists of five switches with 10/100 connectivity. The HPE 2620-24 Switch has a fan-less design for quiet operation, making it suitable for deployments in open spaces. The models 2620-24-PPoE+, 2620-24-PoE+ models, and

2620-48-PoE+ are IEEE 802.3afand IEEE 802.3at-compliant switches that provide up to 30 W per powered port. The 2620-48 model has variable-speed fans for quiet operation.

All 2620 switches include two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and two SFP slots for Gigabit Ethernet uplink connectivity. An optional redundant external power supply is also available to provide redundancy in the event of a power supply failure.

With IPv4/IPv6 static and RIP routing, robust security and management features, as well as a Limited Lifetime Warranty and included software updates, the 2620 Switch Series is a cost-effective solution for those building converged enterprise-edge networks.

Features and benefits

Unified Wired and Wireless

•New ClearPass Policy Manager

Supports unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager

•Switch auto-configuration

Automatically configures switch for different settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max power, and PoE priority when Aruba AP is detected

•New User Role

A set of switch-based policies in areas such as security, authentication, and QoS. A User Role can be assigned to a group of users or devices, using switch configuration or ClearPass

Quality of service (QoS)

•L4 prioritization

Enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers

•Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p)

Allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels that are mapped to eight queues

•Class of service (CoS)

Sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on the IP address, IP type of service (ToS), L3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ

•Rate limiting

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

Connectivity

•Auto-MDIX

Provides automatic adjustments for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports

•IPv6

––IPv6 host

Allows the switches to be managed and deployed at the edge of an IPv6 network

––Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6)

Provides a transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6; and supports connectivity for both protocols

––MLD snooping

Forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface; and helps prevent IPv6 multicast traffic from flooding the network

––Security

RA Guard, DHCPv6 Protection, Dynamic IPv6 Lockdown

•IEEE 802.3af power over Ethernet (PoE)

Provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras

•IEEE 802.3at PoE+

Provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3 for PoE-/PoE+-powered devices such as video IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, and advanced pan/tilt/zoom security cameras

•Pre-standard PoE support

Detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices (refer to the list of supported devices in the product FAQs, which can be accessed at hpe.com/networking/support)

•Single-IP-address management

Provides single-IP-address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches

Resiliency and high availability

•External redundant power supply Provides high reliability

•IEEE 802.3ad link-aggregation-control protocol (LACP) and HPE port trunking Support up to 24 trunks, each with up to eight links (ports) per trunk

•Multiple spanning tree protocol (STP) and IEEE 802.1s

Offers high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees; and provides legacy support for IEEE 802.1d and IEEE 802.1w

•SmartLink

Provides easy-to-configure link redundancy of active and standby links

Management

•New Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)

Uses settings in DHCP to enable ZTP with Aruba AirWave Network Management

•Dual flash images

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

•Friendly port names

Allows assignment of descriptive names to ports

•Multiple configuration files

Are easily stored with a flash image

•Port mirroring

Enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring

•sFlow® (RFC 3176)

Delivers wirespeed traffic accounting and monitoring, configured by the SNMP and CLI with three terminal encrypted receivers

•Remote monitoring (RMON)

Provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events

•Find, fix, and inform

Finds and fixes common network problems automatically, and then informs the administrator

•Comware CLI

––Comware-compatible CLI

Bridges the experience of HPE Comware CLI users who use the HPE ProVision software CLI

––Display and fundamental Comware CLI commands

Are embedded in the switch CLI as native commands; display output is formatted as on Comware-based switches and fundamental commands provide a Comware-familiar initial switch setup

––Configuration Comware CLI commands

Elicit CLI help to formulate the correct ProVision software CLI command

•TR-069 support

Enables zero-touch configuration for switches

L2 switching

•VLANs

Provide support for 512 VLANs and 4,094 VLAN IDs

•Jumbo packet support

Improves the performance of large data transfers; and supports frame sizes up to 9,220 bytes

•IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs

Isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs

•Per-VLAN spanning tree plus (PVST+)

Allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree, improving link bandwidth usage in network environments with multiple VLANs

L3 routing

•Static IP routing

Provides manually configured routing; and includes the ECMP capability

•Routing information protocol (RIP) Provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing

Security

•Access control lists (ACLs)

Provide IP L3 filtering, based on the source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number

•Secure FTP

Allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; and protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of a switch configuration file

•Custom banner

Displays the security policy when users log in to the switch

•Identity-driven ACL

Enables implementation of a highly granular and flexible access security policy and VLAN assignment—specific to each authenticated network user
