Designed to provide essential solutions to Small Business Networks, the ProCurve Switch 2510 Series consists of four Layer 2 managed switches that provide reliable 10/100 and 10/100/1000 connectivity. Building off of the popularity of the 2510-24, a 24-port 10/100 switch with two dual-personality ports, the 2510 series has expanded to include a higher-density 2510-48, with 48 10/100 ports and four Gigabit uplinks. Additionally, the 2510G switches add Gigabit to the 2510 series, with the 2510G-24 and 2510G-48, 24- and 48-port 10/100/1000 switches, each with 4 dual-personality ports--ideal for businesses that are ready to upgrade to increased network performance.
Connectivity
• 10/100 and 10/100/1000 connectivity: provides customers with the choice to select the network connectivity speed that best meets their needs, with a consistent user experience
Resiliency and high availability
• 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
Layer 2 switching
• VLAN support and tagging: support up to 64 port-based VLANs and dynamic configuration of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups
Security
• Protected Ports: provides increased security by allowing specified ports to be isolated from all other ports on the switch; the protected port or ports can only communicate with the uplink or shared resources
Convergence
• IP multicast snooping: automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
Quality of Service (QoS)
• IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
Manageability
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
