HP E4500-48 SWITCH
Overview
The HP 4500 Switch Series are managed, stackable 10/100 Ethernet switches that provide secure, flexible LAN connectivity for enterprise and branch office networks. HP E4500 switches offer Layer 2 switching and dynamic Layer 3 routing, as well as robust security, Quality of Service (QoS), and management features to deliver intelligent edge connectivity for essential business applications. Dual-personality ports allow for both copper and fiber Gigabit uplink connections. The switch supports true stacking with the ability to stack up to eight switch units—384 10/100 ports per stack—with single IP management and distributed aggregated links for high uplink resiliency.
Features
Quality of Service (QoS)
⁍ Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
Management
⁍ IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping by network management applications
Connectivity
⁍ Gigabit Uplinks: The HP 4500-24 model has two dual-personality ports for either 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC SFP connectivity; other models have dual-personality dual mini-GBIC Gigabit SFP ports and ship with two 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers for copper Ethernet connections
Manageability
⁍ RMON (remote monitoring): provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
Layer 2 switching
⁍ VLAN support and tagging: support IEEE 802.1Q with 4,094 simultaneous VLAN IDs
Layer 3 routing
⁍ Layer 3 IP routing : Static IP routing, RIPv1, and RIPv2 provide routing at media speed
Security
⁍ Access control lists (ACLs): provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number
