Hewlett Packard Enterprise E4500-48-PoE Switch

The HP E4500 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.

Management

• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping by network management applications


Connectivity

• Gigabit Uplinks: E4500-24 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 for copper Ethernet connections


Manageability

• RMON: provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events


Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging: support the IEEE 802.1Q. 4094 VLAN IDs with all working simultaneously


Layer 3 routing

• Layer 3 IP routing: : Static IP routing and RIPv1 and RIPv2 provides 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


Convergence

• LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): is a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones
