2600 series support

• 13.6 Gbps (ProCurve 2650 and 2650-PWR)/9.6 Gbps (ProCurve 2626, 2626-PWR, 2600-8-PWR) backplane: wire-speed non-blocking architecture for low-latency throughput

• Dual-personality functionality: two 10/100/1000 ports or mini-GBIC slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH

• Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) compliant (ProCurve 2650-PWR, ProCurve 2626-PWR, ProCurve 2600-8-PWR): provides up to 15.4 W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, Web cameras, and more (ProCurve 2650-PWR may require an external power supply to provide full 15.4 W for all 48 PoE-ready ports)

• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 6 trunks, each with up to 4 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is supported

• Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D): provides redundant links while preventing network loops

• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol: increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links

• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees

• Optional external redundant power supply (ProCurve 2650-PWR, ProCurve 2626-PWR, ProCurve 2600-8-PWR): provides uninterrupted power; sold as an accessory

• Basic IP routing: enables automatic routing to the connected VLANs and up to 16 static routes—including one default route—in IP networks

• VLAN support and tagging: support complete IEEE 802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 253 VLANs simultaneously

• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

• Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator

• MAC address lockout: prevents configured particular MAC addresses from connecting to the network

• IP lockdown: only allows traffic from a specific IP address to be forwarded

• Multiple user authentication methods:
  • IEEE 802.1X:  industry-standard way of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server
  • Web-based authentication:  similar to IEEE 802.1X, provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
  • MAC-based authentication:  client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on the MAC address of the client

• Secure FTP: allows secure file transfer to/from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of switch configuration file

• TACACS+: eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server

• Source-port filtering: allows only specified ports to communicate with each other

• Secure Shell (SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote command-line interface (CLI) access over IP networks

• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch

• Switch management logon security: can require either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication for secure switch CLI logon

• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels mapped to 4 queues

• Class of Service (CoS): sets IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), L3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ

• Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers

• RMON: provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events

• Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports

• ProCurve/IEEE Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports

• Dual flash images: provide independent primary and secondary OS files for backup while upgrading

• Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches, including the ProCurve 2500 series, 2510 series, 2600 series, 2800 series, 2810 series, 2900 series, 3400cl series, 3500yl series, 6108, 6200yl, 6400cl series, 4200vl series, and 4100gl series

• Find-Fix-and-Inform: finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs administrator

• Troubleshooting: ingress/egress port monitoring enables network problem-solving (ProCurve Switch 2626 and 2626-PWR only)

• Software updates: free downloads from the Web

• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications

• LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones
