Introducing the Switch
The ProCurve Switch 2610 Series are multiport switches that can be used to
build high-performance switched workgroup networks. These switches are
store-and-forward devices that offer low latency for high-speed networking.
The 2610-PWR Switches also support Redundant Power Supply and Power
over Ethernet (PoE) technologies.

Introducing the Switch
Introducing the Switch
Throughout this manual, these switches will be referred to as the Switch 2610
Series and the Switch 2610-PWR Series.
■The Switch 2610 Series, has either 24 or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX
RJ-45 ports with four Gigabit Uplink ports, two RJ-45 and two mini-GBIC
(Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)) slots. For a list of supported mini-
GBICs see page 2-18.
The RJ-45 Gigabit Uplink ports are auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T. These
ports operate independently, they are not dual-personality.
The Switch 2610-PWR Series incorporate two additional features. These
switches offer two types of power, one for switch AC operating power, and
the other for Power over Ethernet (PoE) power:
■Power-over-Ethernet or PoE power - PoE technology allows IP
telephones, wireless LAN Access Points and other appliances to receive
power as well as data over existing LAN cabling, without needing to
modify the existing Ethernet infrastructure. The Switch 2610-PWR Series
are designed with an internal PoE power supply capable of providing 406
watts of PoE power (126 watts on the 2610-24/12PWR). All of the Switch
2610-PWR ports can provide up to 15.4 watts (or 7.5 watts if all 12 ports
are used on the 2610-24/12PWR) of PoE power to connected devices. For
further information regarding PoE power, see the PoE Planning and
Implementation Guide, which is on the ProCurve Web site at
www.procurve.com, (See page 1-12).
■Redundant and External Power Supply Support - The Switch 2610-
PWR Series can be connected to a ProCurve 600 Redundant and External
Power Supply (J8168A), hereafter referred to as the 600 RPS/EPS or a
ProCurve 610 External Power Supply, hereafter referred to as the 610 EPS,
and receive redundant power from that unit. As an RPS unit, the 600 RPS/
EPS will provide all the AC power necessary to keep the switch running
should the switch internal AC power supply fail.
As an EPS unit, the 600 RPS/EPS and the 610 EPS can supply up to 408
watts of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply of the
switch should fail. When used with the Switch 2610-48-PWR, the
additional EPS power can provide up to 15.4 watts per port for 48 ports.
For further information regarding the 600 RPS/EPS or the 610 EPS PoE
capabilities, see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is
on the ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com, (See page 1-12).
These switches can be directly connected to computers, printers, and servers
to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched
network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or
routers. In addition, the Switch 2610 Series offer full network management
capabilities.

All these ports have the “Auto-MDIX” feature, which means that you can
use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect
any network devices to the switch.
■Two RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T ports for high speed uplink.
■Two mini-GBIC (SPF) slots for fiber uplinks.
LEDs
On the Switch 2610 Series, there are three groupings of LEDs:
■switch status LEDs (Table 1-1)
■port LEDs (Table 1-2)
■Port LED Mode indicator LEDs (near the selector button) (Table 1-3)

RPS and EPS Input Port
The Switch 2610 Series support connectivity to a redundant power supply
(RPS/EPS). The ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power Supply
(J8168A) and the ProCurve 610 External Power Supply (J8169A) are accessory
products for these switches. The RPS functionality of the 600 procides redun-
dant system power in case the switch’s internal power supply fails. The EPS
functionality of the 600 and the 610 provides additional PoE power.
Power Connector
The Switch 2610 Series and Switch 2610-PWR Series do not have a power
switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source.
The switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-
240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.
Switch Features
The features of the Switch 2610 Series and Switch 2610-PWR Series include:
■24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports with Auto-MDIX.
■4 Uplink ports—two are 1000Base-T RJ-45 and two are mini-GBIC (SFP)
slots.
■Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation—the 2610-PWR Series switches are
IEEE 802.3af compliant and provide up to 15.4W per port to power IP
phones, wireless access points, web cameras, and more. For more
information, see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is
on the ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com, (See page 1-12).
■The 2610-PWR switches support some pre-standard PoE devices.
However, the use of a cross-over cable may be required. For a current list
see the FAQ page for the 2610-PWR Switch, which can be found on the
ProCurve Web site, www.procurve.com, Technical Support, FAQs (all).
■Plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the
network cables to active network devices and your switched network is
operational.
■Auto-MDIX on all twisted-pair ports, 10/100 and 10/100/1000, meaning that
all twisted-pair connections can be made using straight-through cables.
Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work.
■Automatic learning of the hardware addresses in each switch’s 8000-
address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).

■Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100 and
10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-negotiating
devices—the mini-GBIC ports always operate at full duplex, unless a
100-FX SFP transceiver is installed. The 100-FX SFP transceiver can
operate at half duplex.
■Easy management of the switches through several available interfaces:
•console interface—a full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal
interface that is especially good for out-of-band switch management
or for Telnet access to the switch.
•web browser interface—an easy to use built-in graphical interface
that can be accessed from common web browsers.
•ProCurve Manager—an SNMP-based, graphical network
management tool that you can use to manage your entire network.
■Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops
■Support for up to 30 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the
attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.
■Download of new switch software for product enhancements or bug fixes.
■Dual-speed fans to maintain cooling if the environment warms up on the
following switches:
• Switch 2610-48 (J9088A)
• Switch 2610-24/12PWR (J9086A)
• Switch 2610-24-PWR (J9087A)
• Switch 2610-48-PWR (J9089A)
