Introducing the Switch
■ The HP 2530-48G-2SFP+ and HP 2530-48G-PoE+-2SFP+ switches have 48
auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, and two SFP+ slots for
supported HP SFP and SFP+ transceivers (ports 49-50).
■ Power-over-Ethernet or PoE power - The HP 2530-24G-PoE+-2SFP+
and HP 2530-48G-PoE+-2SFP+ switches support the IEEE 802.3 at
standard, which allows IP telephones, wireless LAN Access Points, and
other appliances to receive power as well as data over existing LAN
cabling, without needing to modify the existing Ethernet infrastructure.
■ The HP 2530-24G-PoE+-2SFP+ and 2530-48G-PoE+-2SFP+ switches are
designed with an internal PoE power supply capable of providing
370 watts of PoE power (HP 2530-48G-PoE+-2SFP+), 190 watts (HP 2530-
24G-PoE+-2SFP+), each switch port can provide up to 30 watts (7.5 watts
if all ports are used) of PoE power to connected devices. For further
information regarding PoE power, see the HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/
PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the HP Web site
at www.hp.com/networking/support.
These switches can be directly connected to computers, printers, and servers
to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched
network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or
routers. In addition, these switches can be fully managed by HP SNMP-based
and browser-based network management tools.
Using HP SFPs, these products support optional network connectivity with
the following speeds and technologies:
