Switch Features
Introducing the Switch
■ 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)
• Switch 2610-48-PWR (J9089A)
