Per-port LEDs
provides an at-a-glance view of status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation
Power and fault LEDs
display any issues
Comware CLI
Comware-compatible CLI
bridges the experience of HP Comware CLI users who are using the HP ProVision software CLI
Display and fundamental Comware CLI commands
are embedded in the switch CLI as native commands; display output is formatted as on Comware-based switches, and
fundamental commands provide a Comware-familiar initial switch setup
Configuration Comware CLI commands
when Comware commands are entered, CLI help is elicited to formulate the correct ProVision software CLI command
Connectivity
IPv6
IPv6 host
allows the switch to be deployed and managed at the edge of an IPv6 network
Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6)
supports connectivity for both protocols; provides a transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6
MLD snooping
forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface; prevents IPv6 multicast traffic from flooding the network
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and
security cameras
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus
provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3 for PoE/PoE+-powered devices such as video IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access
points, and advanced pan/tilt/zoom security cameras (see product specifications for total PoE power available)
Auto-MDIX
adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports
Pre-standard PoE support
detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices; see list of supported devices in the product FAQ at
www.hp.com/networking/support
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slots
provides fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, -LH, and -BX with four SFP slots on all 24- and 48-port Gigabit Ethernet
models; Fast Ethernet 24- and 48-port models have two SFP slots and two RJ-45 Gigabit uplinks; 8-port models have two dual-
personality ports supporting either SFP or RJ-45 Gigabit uplinks
Dual-personality (RJ-45 or USB micro-B) serial console port
gives easy access to switch CLI with front of switch location and flexibility of using either RJ-45 or USB micro-B serial console
port
Layer 2 switching
VLANs
provides support for 512 VLANs and 4,094 VLAN IDs
Jumbo packet support
supports up to 9220-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers; 8- and 24-port Fast Ethernet models
automatically support up to 2000-byte frames with no configuration needed
16K MAC address table
provides access to many Layer 2 devices
