Data sheet

Product overview Key features

The HP E2910 al Switch Series consists of four b High-performance Gigabit Ethernet access switch
switches: the HP E2910-24G al and E2910-24G-PoE+ b Four optional 10 GbE (CX4 and/or SFP+)
al Switches with 24 10/100/1000 ports, and the HP b IEEE 802.3af/802.3at functionality ( PoE/PoE+)
E2910-48G al and E2910-48G-PoE+ al Switches with
48 10/100/1000 ports. Each switch has four
b Layer 2 and Layer 3 plus static IP and RIP routing
dual-personality ports for 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC b Lifetime warranty, sFlow, ACLs, and rate limiting
connectivity. In addition, the E2910 al Switch Series
supports up to four optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet (CX4
and/or SFP+) ports, thereby offering the most flexible
and easy-to-deploy uplinks in its class. Together with
static and RIP IPv4 routing, robust security and
management, enterprise-class features, free lifetime
warranty, and free software updates, the 2910 series
is a cost-effective, scalable solution for customers who
are building high-performance networks. These
switches can be deployed at enterprise edge and
remote branch offices, converged networks, and data
center top of rack.
