Introduction
The HP 2520 switch series is ideally suited for small and medium businesses looking to deploy voice, video, or wireless solutions that
require Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity. The series consists of three switches: the HP 2520-8-PoE, 2520-24-PoE, and 2520-8G-
PoE Switches. The three models offer a choice of either Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. All models also include support
for dual-personality Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be used for either copper or fiber connectivity. All products are fully managed via
SNMP, command-line interface (CLI), and graphical user interface (GUI) and offer a Layer 2 feature set. In addition, the products provide
deployment flexibility with compact, quiet, and energy-efficient designs.
Features and Benefits
Quality of Service
(QoS)
Selectable queue configuration
: allows you to increase performance and/or traffic reliability by selecting the number of
queues that best meet the requirements of your network applications; switch will map 8 priorities to either 2 or 4 queues
Simplified QoS configuration
:
Port-based: prioritize traffic by specifying a port and priority level
VLAN based: prioritize traffic by specifying a VLAN and priority level
IEEE 802.1p traffic prioritization
: honors and sets IEEE 802.1p priority in the VLAN tag
Type of service
:
IP precedence
: honors IP precedence bits and allows mapping to a priority queue
Differentiated Services Code Point values
: honors Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) bits and allows mapping to
a priority queue
Flow control
: helps ensure reliable communications during full-duplex operation
Management
Choice of management interfaces
:
Web graphical user interface
(GUI): easy-to-use graphical interface allows configuration of the switch from any Web
browser
Command-line interface
(CLI): robust command-line interface provides advanced configuration and diagnostics
Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMPv2c/SNMPv3): allows switch to be managed with a variety of third-party
network management applications
Integration with HP PCM
: enables discovery, mapping, logging, and configuration via HP PCM, which is available as a free
