Overview

The ProCurve Switch 2600 series is a collection of low-cost, stackable, multi-layer, managed switches with 48, 24, or 8 auto-sensing 10/100 ports and dual-personality ports for 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC connectivity. The ProCurve Switch 2650-PWR, 2626-PWR, and 2600-8-PWR are IEEE 802.3af-compliant for Power over Ethernet and provide up to 15.4 W per port. A redundant external power supply is also available as an accessory.

Feature

Dual-personality functionality: two 10/100/1000 ports or mini-GBIC slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH
•     Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) compliant (HP ProCurve 2650-PWR, ProCurve 2626-PWR, ProCurve 2600-8-PWR): provides up to 15.4 W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, Web cameras, and more (HP ProCurve 2650-PWR may require an external power supply to provide full 15.4 W for all 48 PoE-ready ports)
•     13.6 Gbps (ProCurve 2650 and 2650-PWR)/9.6 Gbps (ProCurve 2626, 2626-PWR, 2600-8-PWR) backplane: wire-speed non-blocking architecture for low-latency throughput
•     IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 6 trunks, each with up to 4 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is supported
•     Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D): provides redundant links while preventing network loops
•     IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol: increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links
•     IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees
•     Optional external redundant power supply (ProCurve 2650-PWR, ProCurve 2626-PWR, ProCurve 2600-8-PWR): provides uninterrupted power; sold as an accessory
•     VLAN support and tagging: support complete IEEE 802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 253 VLANs simultaneously
•     GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
•     Basic IP routing: enables automatic routing to the connected VLANs and up to 16 static routes--including one default route--in IP networks
•     Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator
•     MAC address lockout: prevents configured particular MAC addresses from connecting to the network
•     Dynamic IP lockdown: works with DHCP protection to block traffic from unauthorized host, preventing IP source address spoofing
•     Dynamic ARP protection: blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data
•     Multiple user authentication methods: IEEE 802.1X: industry-standard method of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server; Web-based authentication: similar to IEEE 802.1X, provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant; MAC-based authentication: client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
•     IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
•     LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones
