Technical Specifications

Management

• Simple Web Management: Allows for easy management of the switch - even by nontechnical users - through an intuitive Web GUI; http and secure http (https) is supported
• Single IP Management: Enables management of up to four HP 1910 devices using a single Web interface; simplifies management of multiple devices
• Secure Web GUI: Provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS
• SNMPv1, v2c, and v3: Facilitates management of the switch, as the device can be discovered and monitored from an SNMP management station
• Complete Session Logging: Provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution
• Dual Flash Images: Provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
• Port Mirroring: Enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring
• Management Security: Restricts access to critical configuration commands; offers multiple privilege levels with password protection; ACLs provide telnet and SNMP access; local and remote syslog capabilities allow logging of all access
• Network Time Protocol (NTP): Synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps timekeeping consistent among all clock-dependent devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): Advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network, facilitating easy mapping by network management applications
• Limited CLI: Enables users to quickly deploy and troubleshoot devices in the network
• RMON: Provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
• Default DHCP Client Mode: Allows the switch to be directly connected to a network, enabling plug-and-play operation; in absence of DHCP server on the network, the switch will fall back to a unique static address determined by the MAC address of the switch

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Broadcast Control: Allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic
• Rate Limiting: Sets per-port ingress enforced maximums and per-port, per-queue minimums
• Traffic Prioritization: Provides time-sensitive packets (like VoIP and video) with priority over other traffic based on DSCP or IEEE 802.1p classification; packets are mapped to four hardware queues for more effective throughput

Connectivity

• IPv6:
  • IPv6 Host: Enables switches to be managed and deployed at the IPv6 network's edge
  • IPv6 Routing: Supports IPv6 static routes
  • MLD Snooping: Forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface, preventing traffic flooding
  • IPv6 ACL/QoS: Supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic
• Auto-MDI/MDIX: Adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports
• IEEE 802.3X Flow Control: Provides a flow throttling mechanism propagated through the network to prevent packet loss at a congested node
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) Ready: Provides up to 15.4 W per port to power standards-compliant IP phones, wireless LAN access points, Web cameras, and more (all PoE models)
• IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+): Provides up to 30 W per port which allows support of the latest PoE+-capable devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, as well as any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device; eliminates the cost of additional electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments. (Note: applies to all PoE models, except the two 24G-PoE models which support a pre-standard implementation of PoE+)
• Packet Storm Protection: Protects against broadcast, multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds
• Cable Diagnostics: Detects cable issues remotely, using a browser-based tool

Security

• Advanced Access Control Lists (ACLs): Enables network traffic filtering and enhances network control using MAC- and IP-based ACLs; time-based ACLs allow for greater flexibility with managing network access
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch
• IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS Network Logins: Controls port-based access for authentication and accountability
• Automatic VLAN Assignment: Assigns users automatically to the appropriate VLAN based on their identity, location and time of day
• STP BPDU Port Protection: Blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks
• STP Root Guard: Protects the root bridge from malicious attacks or configuration mistakes
• Automatic Denial-of-Service Protection: Monitors for malicious attacks and protects the network by blocking the attacks
• Management Password: Provides security so that only authorized access to the Web browser interface is allowed

Performance

• Half-/Full-Duplex Auto-Negotiating Capability on Every Port: Doubles the throughput of every port
• Selectable Queue Configurations: Allows for increased performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of the network applications
• IGMP Snooping: Improves network performance through multicast filtering, instead of flooding traffic to all ports
• Fiber Uplink: Provides greater distance connectivity using Gigabit fiber uplinks

Layer 2 Switching

• VLAN Support and Tagging: Supports IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously
• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): Supports standard IEEE 802.1D STP, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for faster convergence, and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
• BPDU Filtering: Drops BPDU packets when STP is enabled globally but disabled on a specific port
• Jumbo Frame Support: Supports up to 10 kilobyte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers

Layer 3 services

• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): Determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet; supports static ARPs; gratuitous ARP allows detection of duplicate IP addresses; proxy ARP allows normal ARP operation between subnets or when subnets are separated by a Layer 2 network
• DHCP Relay: Simplifies management of DHCP addresses in networks with multiple subnets

Layer 3 Routing

• NEW Static IPv4/IPv6 Routing: Provides basic routing (supporting up to 32 static routes and 8 virtual VLAN interfaces); allows manual configuration of routing

Resiliency and High Availability

• Available Redundant Power Supply: Provides additional PoE of up to 740 W for high-power applications like HP Gigabit Ethernet IntelliJack switches; the HP RPS1600 Redundant Power System (JG136A), sold separately, is only for use with the 1910-24G-PoE (365W) Switch model
• Link Aggregation: Groups together multiple ports (up to a maximum of 2 ports) automatically using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), or manually, to form an ultra-high-bandwidth connection to the network backbone; helps prevent traffic bottlenecks

Convergence

• LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): Defines a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones
• PoE Allocations: Supports multiple methods (automatic, IEEE 802.3af class, LLDP-MED, or user-specified) to allocate PoE power for more efficient energy savings
• Auto Voice VLAN: Recognizes IP phones and automatically assigns voice traffic to dedicated VLAN for IP phones

Additional Information

• Green Initiative Support: Provides support for RoHS and WEEE regulations
• Green IT and Power: Improves energy efficiency through the use of the latest advances in silicon development; shuts off unused ports and utilizes variable-speed fans, reducing energy costs
