Transceiver and Cables Options for HP 1810 Switch Series

HP 1810 Switch Series Overview

The HP 1810 Switch Series appliance is a smart-managed, fixed-configuration Gigabit and Fast Ethernet Layer 2 switch designed for small businesses that look for key features in easy-to-manage solutions. The family includes 8-port and 24-port Gigabit and Fast Ethernet models and 48-port Gigabit switches. Specific models include SFP ports for fiber connections. All of these support flexible deployment options, including on the wall, under tables, or on desktops; some are fanless and suitable for office deployments. The 8-port Gigabit model can be powered by an upstream Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch. Customizable features include VLANs, spanning trees, and link aggregation trunks. The new version is the “version 2” (v2) unit, which includes the latest energy-saving features – energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) and idle port power-down and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and DSCP QoS policies. The HP 1810 Switch Series supports fiber connections for uplinks and other connections across longer distances than what copper cabling can support; “true” SFP ports operate in addition to available copper Ethernet ports, providing a higher total number of available ports vs. “combo” ports which are either a copper or fiber connection.

HP 1810 Switch Series Features

Connectivity

• Auto-MDI/MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports
• Packet storm protection: protects against broadcast, multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds
• IEEE 802.3af PoE-powered device option: obtains power provided by a standard PoE device connected to Port 1; deploy the switch wherever an Ethernet cable can reach as a power outlet is not needed

Performance

• Half-/full-duplex auto-negotiating capability on every port: doubles the throughput of every port
• Link aggregation (trunking): brings together groups of 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; the model has four trunks of four links each

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification with eight priority levels mapped to four queues
• IEEE 802.1p prioritization with DSCP: delivers data from the switch to devices based on the priority and type of traffic using Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP); available only with v2 switch models
• Broadcast control: allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic

Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging: supports up to 64 port-based VLANs and dynamic configuration of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups
• Jumbo packet support: improves the performance of large data transfers; supports frame size of up to 9220 bytes
