Switch Overview
Switch Hardware Features
The ProCurve Series 2810 Switches (Switch 2810-24G (J9021A) and Switch
2810-48G (J9022A)) are store-and-forward, multiport Gigabit switches
offering low latency for high-speed networking.
Switch Ports
A Switch 2810-24G has 20 and a Switch 2810-48G has 44 auto-sensing 10/100/
1000Base-T RJ-45 ports. RJ-45 ports are IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI/MDI-X.
Both switches have four dual-personality ports—either auto-sensing 10/100/
1000Base-T RJ-45 or mini-GBIC. Dual-personality ports use either the 10/100/
1000Base-T RJ-45 connector, or a supported ProCurve mini-GBIC for fiber-
optic connections. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled.
Series 2810 switches use the console port to connect to a PC or workstation
running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal. A cable to connect
the switch to the console device is supplied.
Series 2810 switches do not have a power switch. They power on when
connected to an active AC power source. These switches automatically adjust
to any voltage between 100---240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range
settings are required.
