Datasheet

HP ProCurve Switch 2610 Series

The HP ProCurve Switch 2610 Series consists of five switches—the HP ProCurve Switch 2610-24 and
2610-48 provide 24 and 48 ports of 10/100 connectivity. The HP ProCurve Switch 2610-24 is fanless, providing
quiet operation and making it ideal for deployment in open spaces. The HP ProCurve 2610- 24/12PWR,
2610-24-PWR, and 2610-48-PWR are IEEE 802.3af-compliant for Power over Ethernet (PoE) and provide up
to 15.4 W for 12, 24, and 48 ports. The 2610-24/12PWR has 24 10/100 ports and provides 12 ports of PoE. All
switches include two 10/100/1000Base-T ports and two mini-GBIC slots for Gigabit uplink connectivity. An
optional redundant external power supply is also available to provide redundancy in the event of a power
supply failure. With static routing, robust security and management features, free lifetime warranty, and free
software updates, the 2610 series is a cost-effective solution for customers who are building converged
enterprise edge networks.

• Software updates: free downloads from the Web

• Troubleshooting: ingress/egress port monitoring enables
network problem-solving

Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE 802.1Q (4,094
VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously

• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning
and dynamic assignment of VLANs

• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link
availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple
spanning trees; provides legacy support for IEEE 802.1d and
IEEE 802.1w

• Optional redundant power supply: provides uninterrupted
power (provided by HP ProCurve 600 RPS/EPS)

Manageability

• RMON, XRMON, and sFlow: provide advanced monitoring and
reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events

• Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors a link
between two switches and blocks the ports on both ends of the
link if the link goes down at any point between the two devices

♦ For as long as you own the product, with next-business-day advance replacement (available in most countries). The following hardware products and their related series modules have a one-year
hardware warranty with extensions available: HP ProCurve Routing Switch 9300m series, HP ProCurve Switch 8100fl series, HP ProCurve Network Access Controller 800, and HP ProCurve DCM

refer to the ProCurve Software License, Warranty, and Support booklet at http://www.procurve.com/warranty.

Layer 3 routing

• Basic IP routing: enables automatic routing to the connected
VLANs and up to 16 static routes--including one default route--in
IP networks

Security

• Multiple user authentication methods:

- IEEE 802.1X: industry-standard method of user authentication
using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with
a RADIUS server

- Web-based authentication: similar to IEEE 802.1X, provides a
browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not
support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant

- MAC-based authentication: client is authenticated with the
RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address

HP ProCurve Switch 2610 Series

• Authentication flexibility:

- Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port: provides authentication of
up to eight IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents user
"piggybacking" on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication

- Concurrent IEEE 802.1X and Web or MAC authentication
schemes per port: switch port will accept any of IEEE 802.1X
and either Web or MAC authentications

• Access control lists (ACLs): provide IP Layer 3 filtering based
on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination
TCP/UDP port number

• Identity-driven ACL: enables implementation of a highly
granular and flexible access security policy and VLAN assignment
specific to each authenticated network user

• Dynamic ARP protection: blocks ARP broadcasts from
unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network
data

• Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses,
which can be learned or specified by the administrator

• MAC address lockout: prevents configured particular MAC
addresses from connecting to the network

• 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 (SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted data for secure,
remote command-line interface (CLI) access over IP networks

• Port monitoring for network threats: Provides sampled port
traffic using sFlow technology to the HP ProCurve Network
Immunity Manager application for Network Behavior Anomaly
Detection (NBAD) analysis to detect threats and mitigate threats at
the port where the threat originated

• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing
secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the
switch

• Secure FTP: allows secure file transfer to/from the switch;
protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying
of switch configuration file

• Switch management logon security: can require either
RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication for secure switch CLI logon

• STP Root Guard: protects root bridge from malicious attack or
configuration mistakes

Convergence

• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP):
automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network
management applications

• LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): a standard extension
of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN
to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones

• IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP: automatically
prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based
on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), L3 protocol, TCP/UDP
port number, source port, and DiffServ

• Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP
port numbers

• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time traffic
classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues

Monitor and diagnostics

• Port mirroring: enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously
sent to a network analyzer for monitoring

Warranty and support

• ProCurve Lifetime Warranty: for as long as you own the
product, with next-business-day advance replacement (available
in most countries).

• Electronic and telephone support: limited electronic and
telephone support is available from HP. Refer to the HP Web site
at www.procurve.com/support for details on the support provided
and the period during which support is available.

• Software releases: refer to the HP Web site at
www.procurve.com/support for details on the software releases
provided and the period during which software releases are
available.

• DHCP protection: blocks DHCP packets from unauthorized
DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks

• STP BPDU port protection: blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units
(BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged
BPDU attacks
