HP 2620 Switch Series

Product overview

The HP 2620 Switch Series consists of ve switches with 10/100 connectivity.
TheHP 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 free lifetime warranty and software updates, the 2620 Switch Series is
acost-eective solution for those building converged enterprise-edge networks.

A summary of the highlights of the 2620 Switch Series:

• Cost-eective access layer switches

• Lite L3 IPv4/IPv6 static and RIP routing

• 30 W PoE+ support on PoE models

• Friendly port names

Allows assignment of descriptive names to ports

• Multiple conguration les

• sFlow (RFC 3176)

Delivers wire-speed trac accounting and monitoring, congured 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, x, and inform

Finds and xes common network problems automatically, and then informs the administrator

• NEW Comware CLI

– Comware-compatible CLI

Bridges the experience of HP Comware CLI users who use the HP 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
