Advanced Technologies
The J9472A HPE Procurve 3500-48-PoE Fast Ethernet Mini-GBIC Rack-Mountable Switch is a high-performance networking device designed for small to medium-sized businesses and enterprise environments. It features advanced technologies that provide a range of benefits for network administrators and users.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) – The switch supports Power over Ethernet, which allows network devices to receive power through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power adapters. This feature is particularly useful for wireless access points, IP phones, and other devices that require power to operate.
- Quality of Service (QoS) – The switch supports Quality of Service, which allows network administrators to prioritize network traffic based on different levels of importance. This ensures that critical applications and services receive the bandwidth they need to operate smoothly.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) – The switch supports LACP, which allows network administrators to bundle multiple physical links together to form a single logical link. This improves network performance and redundancy by providing multiple paths for data to travel.
- Virtual LAN (VLAN) – The switch supports VLANs, which allows network administrators to segment the network into different logical networks. This improves network security by isolating different groups of users and devices from each other.
- Advanced Security – The switch supports advanced security features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), port security, and IEEE 802.1x authentication. These features provide an additional layer of security to protect the network from unauthorized access and malicious attacks.
- Mini-GBIC – The switch has Mini-GBIC ports, which allow the switch to be expanded with additional fiber or copper transceiver modules. This allows for longer distances between devices and increased bandwidth.
