HP ProCurve Switch 2600 Series

The ProCurve Switch 2600 series is a collection of low-cost, stackable, multi-layer, managed switches with 48,
24, or 8 auto-sensing 10/100 ports and dual-personality ports for 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC connectivity. The
ProCurve Switch 2650-PWR, 2626-PWR, and 2600-8-PWR are IEEE 802.3af-compliant for Power over
Ethernet and provide up to 15.4 W per port. A redundant external power supply is also available as an
accessory.

HP ProCurve Switch 2600 Series

Features and benefits

Connectivity

• Dual-personality functionality: two 10/100/1000 ports or
mini-GBIC slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX,

-LX, or -LH

• Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) compliant (HP ProCurve

2650-PWR, ProCurve 2626-PWR, ProCurve 2600-8-PWR):

provides up to 15.4 W per port to power IP phones, wireless
access points, Web cameras, and more (HP ProCurve 2650-PWR
may require an external power supply to provide full 15.4 W for all
48 PoE-ready ports)

Performance

• 13.6 Gbps (HP ProCurve 2650 and 2650-PWR)/9.6 Gbps (HP

ProCurve 2626, 2626-PWR, 2600-8-PWR) backplane:

wire-speed non-blocking architecture for low-latency throughput

Resiliency and high availability

• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and
ProCurve trunking: support for up to six trunks, each with up to
eight links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is supported

• Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D): provides redundant
links while preventing network loops

• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol:
increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links

• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link
availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple
spanning trees

• Optional external redundant power supply (HP ProCurve

2650-PWR, ProCurve 2626-PWR, ProCurve 2600-8-PWR):

provides uninterrupted power; sold as an accessory

Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging: support complete IEEE 802.1Q
(4,096 VLAN IDs) and 253 VLANs simultaneously

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

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

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

• Dynamic IP lockdown: works with DHCP protection to block
traffic from unauthorized hosts, preventing IP source address
spoofing

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

• 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

NEW 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

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

• RADIUS/TACACS+: eases switch management security
administration by using a password authentication server

• Source-port filtering: allows only specified ports to
communicate with each other

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

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

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

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

Security

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

HP ProCurve Switch 2600 Series

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time HP
ProCurve Switch 2600 Series traffic classification into eight priority
levels mapped to four queues

• 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

Manageability

• RMON: provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities
for statistics, history, alarms, and events

• Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to
ports

• Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or
crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports

• Dual flash images: provides independent primary and
secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading

• Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual
stack of up to 16 switches, including the HP ProCurve Switch
2500 Series, 2510 Series, 2600 Series, 2800 Series, 2810 Series,
2900 Series, 3400cl Series, 3500yl Series, 4200vl Series, 6108,
6200yl-24G-mGBIC, and 6400cl Series

• Find-Fix-and-Inform: finds and fixes common network problems
automatically, then informs administrator

• Troubleshooting: ingress/egress port monitoring enables
network problem-solving (HP ProCurve Switch 2626 and
2626-PWR only)

• Software updates: free downloads from the Web
