HP Procurve Networking

The reason for Telinet recommending HP is that the product has all the features of more expensive switches which are also supported by a lifetime warranty. In addition, they are available in 12 or 24 port format. The switches can be linked together using a standard port without the need for stacking modules. However, the switches can be stacked using the Gigabit Port which is the preferred method as it is gigabit connection rather than Ethernet. The switches are also compatible for future technologies such as VOIP for IP telephones.

Below are the specifications of the Procurve 25xx series.

• 9.6 Gbps switch fabric integrated on-chip: high performance switch design with a non-blocking architecture
  
• HP Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 100/1000 ports
  
• Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches including the 1600m, 2400m, 2424m, 2512, 2524, 4000m, 8000m, and 4108gl*
  
• RMON and extended RMON: provide advanced monitoring capabilities 802.1x and RADIUS network login: controls access and provides authentication and accountability for network security
  
• IEEE 802.3ad standard trunking: allows redundant connections between devices to be combined for more aggregate bandwidth between devices supporting LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol)
  
• VLAN support, tagging, and Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): supports up to 30 port-based VLANs and dynamic configuration of 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups
  
• IEEE 802.1p prioritisation: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
  
• IP multicast (IGMP): prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
  
• Port security: keeps the network and the users secure from tampering by unauthorised users
  
• 802.1w Fast Convergence Spanning Tree: increases network availability by decreasing recovery time when a link fails
  
• TACACS+: eases administration of switch management security by using a password authentication server
  
• Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP): enables real-time mapping of end nodes to switch ports
  
• SSH (Secure Shell): secures remote access connections over IP networks by encrypting all transmitted data
  
• Lifetime warranty: for as long as you own the product, with next business day advance replacement (available in most countries)

Also, with the HP, you can manage the stack of switches over a web page. Below are some examples of the monitoring and configuration pages:
