Product overview
The HP 2915-8G-PoE Switch is a fully managed 8-port 10/100/1000 switch with an additional two dual-personality Gigabit Ethernet
ports for copper or SFP connectivity.
Together with static and RIP IPv4 routing, robust security and management, enterprise-class features, a free lifetime warranty, and
free software updates, the HP 2915-8G-PoE Switch is a cost-effective solution. The switch is fanless, providing quiet operation and
making it ideal for deployments in open spaces.
In addition, its compact form factor allows for flexible deployments, including wall, surface, or rack mounting. These switches can be
deployed at enterprise edge and remote branch offices, as well as converged networks.
Features and benefits
Quality of Service (QoS)
Selectable queue configuration
performance and/or traffic reliability can be increased by selecting the number of queues that best meet the requirements of
network applications; the switch will map eight priorities to either two or four queues
Class of Service (CoS)
sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source
port, and DiffServ
Layer 4 prioritization
enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p)
allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to four queues
Rate limiting
per-port ingress-enforced maximums
Flow control
helps ensure reliable communications during full-duplex operation
Type of service :
IP precedence
honors IP precedence bits and allows mapping to a priority queue
Differentiated Services Code Point values
honors Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) bits and allows mapping to a priority queue
