The HP 2810 Switch Series consists of two switches: the 24-port HP 2810-24G Switch with 20 10/100/1000 ports, and the 48-port HP 2810-48G Switch with 44 10/100/1000 ports. Each switch also has four dual-personality ports for RJ-45 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC fiber Gigabit connectivity. Ideal for high-performance and secure 10/100/1000 connectivity, the 2810 switch series offers access security and advanced prioritization and traffic-monitoring capabilities. The series is cost-effective and easy to use, with a shallow, 1U form factor that provides operational flexibility for use in smaller wiring closets.

Quality of Service (QoS)
• Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ

Connectivity
• Dual-personality functionality: four 10/100/1000 ports or SFP slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, and -LH, or 100-FX

Resiliency and high availability
• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and HP port trunking: support up to 24 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk

Manageability
• sFlow (RFC 3176): wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring

Layer 2 switching
• VLAN support and tagging: supports IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously

Security
• Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator

Convergence
• IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP: automatically prevent flooding of IP multicast traffic
