The HP 2530 Switch Series consists of 12 fully managed Layer 2 edge switches that deliver cost-effective - reliable - secure - and easy-to-use connectivity to business networks. Designed for entry-level to midsize enterprise networks - these Gigabit and Fast Ethernet switches deliver full Layer 2 capabilities with optional PoE+ - enhanced access security - traffic prioritization - and IPv6 host support. The HP 2530 Switch Series offers uplink flexibility with four Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on all 24- and 48-port models. Gigabit Ethernet uplinks are four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slots for fiber connectivity on the 24- and 48-port Gigabit Ethernet models. The Fast Ethernet 24- and 48-port models have two SFPs and two RJ-45 Gigabit uplinks. The compact and fanless 8-port switches offer additional flexibility with two dual-personality ports that can be used as either RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet or SFP ports. For customers implementing Power over Ethernet for voice - video - or wireless deployments - the HP 2530 PoE+ switches are IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at compliant with up to 30 W per port.
