Introducing the Switch
Switch Features
■Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices—the mini-GBIC ports always operate at full duplex, unless a 100-FX SFP transceiver is installed. The 100-FX SFP transceiver can operate at half duplex.
■Easy management of the switches through several available interfaces:
•console interface—a full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal interface that is especially good for out-of-band switch management or for Telnet access to the switch.
•web browser interface—an easy to use built-in graphical interface that can be accessed from common web browsers.
•ProCurve Manager—an SNMP-based, graphical network management tool that you can use to manage your entire network.
■Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops
■Support for up to 30 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.
■Download of new switch software for product enhancements or bug fixes.
■Dual-speed fans to maintain cooling if the environment warms up on the following switches:
•Switch 2610-48 (J9088A)
•Switch 2610-24/12PWR (J9086A)
•Switch 2610-24-PWR (J9087A)
