HP ProCurve 2510 Switches

HP ProCurve 2510 Switches

If you’re looking for a feature-packed managed switch, the HP ProCurve 2510 is right for you. And don’t worry that this is too high of a lead up, and that you’re actually going to be underwhelmed by the product, because HP 2510 switches really do have the lion’s share of features. Geared towards small and medium businesses, the many features of HP ProCurve 2510 switches include: Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) support and tagging, single IP address management, protected ports, multiple user authentication, guest VLAN, IP multicast snooping and more. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg; there are still many, many more features of HP ProCurve 2510 switches that have yet to be named. As a result of the performance benefits reaped from this vast array of features, the HP 2510 series of switches is a perfect fit for businesses who want to upgrade their network for improved performance.

The many features provided by the HP ProCurve 2510 series are not all showcased in each and every model, but many of them do have multiple features in common – that’s what makes them part of the same switch family. Keeping that in mind, there are 4 members of the HP ProCurve 2510 family. The 4 members, or models, are the following: the E2510-24 (J9019B), the E2510-24G (J9279A), the E2510-48 (J9020A), and the E2510-48G (J9280A). Some of the obvious differences between the ones that end in 24 and the ones that end in 48, are that the E2510-24 and E2510-24G have 24 port configurations while the E2510-48 and the E2520-48G have 48 port configurations. Another obvious difference would be between the ones that end in G and the ones that end with the number – the ones that end with G offer Gigabit capabilities.  These seemingly simple, obvious differences allow the HP ProCurve 2510 series of switches to provide their customers with choices that will enable them to choose the switch that best fits their environment.
