Switches & Bridges

Designed for the new c-Class BladeSystem enclosure, the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class Blade System (GbE2c) provides a full set of industry standard Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 features, sixteen internal downlinks, five uplinks and two internal cross-connects in a single low cost blade solution. The GbE2c dramatically reduces cabling, power and cooling requirements compared to stand-alone switches, allowing you to realize the full cost saving capabilities of the HP c-Class BladeSystem.

The innovative features of HPE Networking products are now available in a hybrid 1Gb/10Gb blade switch format. The HPE 6125G/XG brings the resiliency of IRF (intelligent Resilient Networking) stacking and the stability of the Comware operating system to the c-Class BladeSystem. With sixteen 1Gb downlink (server) ports, a combination of 1Gb and 10Gb uplink ports, and a 10Gb cross-link port, the HPE 6125G/XG reduces cost, while increasing datacenter efficiency and capability. Switches can be combined at the enclosure, rack or datacenter level into a single virtual switch, and managed through a single IP address. Comware OS provides a common level of features, service and security levels from edge to core. And all network elements can be managed through IMC (Intelligent Management Center) providing comprehensive single pane provisioning of the entire network. Truly versatile, the HPE 6125G/XG supports IPv6, full layer 3 routing and distributed trunking. If you're looking for a switch that delivers excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability for mixed bandwidth applications, the 6125G/XG is the optimal choice for any data center.

The Aruba 2530 Switch Series provides cost-effective, reliable and secure access layer connectivity for enterprises, branch offices and small and midsize businesses. These fully managed switches deliver Layer 2 capabilities with enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, sFlow, and IPv6 host support. Right size deployment is available with a range of Gigabit and Fast Ethernet models including compact and fanless models which are ideal for use in quiet work spaces. PoE+ models deliver up 370W to power access points, IP phones and cameras. The Aruba 2530 Switch Series is easy to deploy, use and manage using Aruba AirWave or Aruba Central. Aruba ClearPass offers Network Access Control and external captive portal support. The switches include a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The HP 2530 Switch Series consists of four fully managed Layer 2 edge switches, delivering cost-effective, reliable, and secure connectivity for business networks. Designed for entry-level to midsize enterprise networks, these Gigabit Ethernet switches deliver full Layer 2 capabilities with enhanced access security, traffic prioritization, IPv6 host support, and optional PoE+, and include a product lifetime warranty.

Each 2530 switch has 24 or 48 RJ-45 10/100/1000 ports and four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slots for fiber connectivity. For customers implementing Power over Ethernet for voice, video, or wireless deployments, the HP 2530-24G-PoE+ and the HP 2530-48G-PoE+ Switches are IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at compliant with up to 30 W per port.
