The HP 2620 Switch Series consists of ve switches with 10/100 connectivity.
TheHP 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
acost-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 ber uplinks
• Enterprise-class features
