The HP ProCurve Switch 2500 Series are low cost, stackable, managed 24- and 12-port switches with 10⁄100 auto-sensing per port and 2 open transceiver slots for Gigabit or 100Base-FX. The HP ProCurve Switches 2524 and 2512 offer HP Auto-MDIX on all 10⁄100 and 100⁄1000 ports and high-availability features. The HP ProCurve Switches 2524 and 2512 are ideal for low-cost migration to 10⁄100 managed switching with uplinks.

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)
