Product overview
The HP E2915-8G-PoE Switch is a fully managed 8-port 10/100/1000 switch with an additional 2 dual-personality Gigabit ports
for copper or SFP connectivity. Together with static and RIP IPv4 routing, robust security and management, enterprise-class features,
a free lifetime warranty, and free software updates, the HP E2915-8G-PoE Switch is a cost-effective solution. The HP E2915-8G-PoE
Switch is fanless, providing quiet operation and making it ideal for deployments in open spaces. In addition, the compact form factor
allows for flexible deployments, including wall, surface, or rack mounting. These switches can be deployed at enterprise edge and
remote branch offices, as well as converged networks.
