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 802.3af- and 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-eective solution for those building converged enterprise-edge networks.
A summary of the highlights of the 2620 Switch Series
• Cost-eective access layer switches
• Lite L3 IPv4/IPv6 static and RIP routing
• 30 W PoE+ support on PoE models
• Gigabit fiber uplinks
• Enterprise-class features

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 dierent 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
• Traic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p)
Allows real-time traic 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 DiServ
• 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 traic to the appropriate interface; and helps prevent IPv6 multicast
traic 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
Oers 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 traic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring
• sFlow® (RFC 3176)
Delivers wirespeed traic 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
• Source-port filtering
Allows only specified ports to communicate with each other
• RADIUS/ TACACS+
Eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
• Secure shell
Encrypts all transmitted data for secure remote CLI access over IP networks
• Secure sockets layer (SSL)
Encrypts all HTTP traic, enabling secure access to the browser-based management GUI in
the switch
• Port security
Allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the

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
