The ProCurve Switch 2610 Series consists of two switches: the 2610-24 and 2610-48 provide 24 and 48 ports of 10/100 connectivity. The 2610-24 is fanless, ensuring quiet operation and making it ideal for deployment in open spaces. All switches include two 10/100/1000Base-T ports and two mini-GBIC slots for Gigabit uplink connectivity. An optional redundant external power supply is also available to provide redundancy in the event of a power supply failure. With static routing, robust security and management features, free lifetime warranty, and free software updates, the 2610 series is a cost-effective solution for customers who are building converged enterprise edge networks.

Connectivity
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet: provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras

Resiliency and high availability
• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 24 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk

Layer 2 switching
• VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously

Layer 3 routing
• Basic IP routing: enables automatic routing to the connected VLANs and up to 16 static routes--including one default route--in IP networks

Security
• Multiple user authentication methods: IEEE 802.1X: industry-standard method 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, it 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 client's MAC address

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

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