The HP 2530 Switch Series consists of 17 fully managed L2 edge switches that deliver cost-effective, reliable, protected and easy-to-use connectivity to business networks. Designed for entry-level to midsize enterprise networks, these Gigabit and Fast Ethernet switches deliver full L2 capabilities with optional Power over Ethernet (PoE), enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, and IPv6 host support. The HP 2530 Switch Series offers uplink flexibility with either four Gigabit or two 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on some 24- and 48-port models. The Gigabit 24- and 48-port models have either two small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) or four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slots for fiber connectivity. The Fast Ethernet 24- and 48-port models have two SFPs and two RJ-45 Gigabit uplinks. The compact and fan-less 8-port switches offer additional flexibility with two dual-personality ports that can be used as either RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet or SFP ports. Moreover, the HP 2530 Switch Series PoE+ Switches are IEEE 802.3af- and IEEE 802.3at-compliant with up to 30 W per port, making them suitable for voice, video, or wireless deployments with PoE+.
