HP ProCurve Switch 2800 Series

The HP ProCurve Switch 2800 Series consists of two switches: the 24-port HP ProCurve Switch 2824 with 20
10/100/1000 ports, and the 48-port HP ProCurve Switch 2848 with 44 10/100/1000 ports. In addition, each
switch has four dual-personality ports for RJ-45 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC connectivity. The 2800 series is
ideal for secure 10/100/1000 connectivity, and it offers access security and advanced prioritization and
traffic-monitoring capabilities. With support for IP static routing, the 2800 series is well-suited for environments
that need basic routing at the edge of the network.

Features and benefits

Industry-leading warranty

Connectivity

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

-LX, or -LH

Performance

• 48 Gbps backplane with up to 34.7 million pps (HP ProCurve

Switch 2824) and 96 Gbps backplane with up to 69.8 million
pps (HP ProCurve Switch 2848): ten times the bandwidth for

low-latency throughput

Resiliency and high availability

• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and
ProCurve trunking: support up to 24 trunks, each with up to 8
links (ports) per trunk

• 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: provides
uninterrupted power

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

• Jumbo packet support: supports up to 9,216 byte frame size to
improve performance of large data transfers

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

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

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

• 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

• 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

• 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
