Features
9.6 Gbps switch fabric integrated on-chip: high performance switch design with a non-blocking architecture
HP Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10⁄100 and 100⁄1000 ports
Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches including the 1600m, 2400m, 2424m, 2512, 2524, 4000m, 8000m, and 4108gl*
RMON and extended RMON: provide advanced monitoring capabilities
802.1x and RADIUS network login: controls access and provides authentication and accountability for network security
IEEE 802.3ad standard trunking: allows redundant connections between devices to be combined for more aggregate bandwidth between devices supporting LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol)
VLAN support, tagging, and Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): supports up to 30 port-based VLANs and dynamic configuration of 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups
IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
IP multicast (IGMP): prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
Port security: keeps the network and the users secure from tampering by unauthorized users
802.1w Fast Convergence Spanning Tree: increases network availability by decreasing recovery time when a link fails
TACACS+: eases administration of switch management security by using a password authentication server
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP): enables real-time mapping of end nodes to switch ports
SSH (Secure Shell): secures remote access connections over IP networks by encrypting all transmitted data
Lifetime warranty: for as long as you own the product, with next business day advance replacement (available in most countries)
