Overview:
HP E4210 Switch Series are entry-level 10/100 Ethernet LAN switches with enterprise-class quality of service (QoS), security, and management features, delivering high value for network administrators looking for an economical edge device. Available Power over Ethernet (PoE) models are ideal for Voice over IP and wireless networking installations, while non-PoE models are also available for simple port expansion. Dual-personality ports allow flexibility, setting them apart from lower-end devices. The series supports an industry-standard command-line interface, Web-based administration, and SNMP management. Switches can be clustered in any combination up to 255 units for simplified administration. In addition to rack-mount models, HP E4210 switches are available in small form factor units for enterprise branch and small workgroup deployments, in both PoE and non-PoE versions, with the same manageability as the larger rack-mount models.
- Entry-level switching, enterprise-class features
- Affordable price
- Out-of-the-box plug-and-play simplicity
- Access control lists for improved security
- Energy efficient; quiet, fan-free design (non-PoE)

Features and Benefits:
Quality of Service (QoS)
- Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) — allows real-time traffic classification mapped to four hardware queues per port
Management
- Secure Web GUI — provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS
- Command-line interface (CLI) — provides a secure, easy-to-use command-line interface for configuring the module via SSH or a switch console; provides direct real-time session visibility
- SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 — facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices
- 3Com-heritage Comware V3 Operating System — CLI and Web user interface in common with HP E4XXX and E55XX series switches
- Port mirroring — enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring
Connectivity
- Gigabit uplinks — dual-personality ports for either 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC SFP connectivity for increased connectivity flexibility
- Auto-MDIX — automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports
Manageability
- RMON (remote monitoring) — provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
- Full-featured console — provides complete control of the switch with a familiar command-line interface (CLI)
- Web interface — allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser on the network
- Multiple configuration files — allow multiple configuration files to be stored to flash image
- Software updates — free downloads from the Web
- IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) — automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping using network management applications
- Virtual stacking capability — single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 255 Comware-based 3Com legacy devices, including HP E4XXX and E55XX series switches
Layer 2 switching
- GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) — allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
- VLAN support and tagging — support IEEE 802.1Q, with 4094 simultaneous VLAN IDs
- Access control lists (ACLs) — provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number (may not apply to all models; see specifications for more details)
- RADIUS/TACACS+ — eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
- Secure Shell (SSHv2) — encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote command-line interface (CLI) access over IP networks
- Secure Web management with HTTPS and SSL — encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch (may not apply to all models; see specifications for more details)
- IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS network logins — control port-based access for authentication and accountability
- Port security — allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator
- Switch management logon security — can require either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication for secure switch CLI logon
- Secure management access — securely encrypts all access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3
- Custom banner — displays security policy when users log in to the switch
- Management password — provides security so that only authorized access to the Web browser interface is allowed
- Automatic VLAN assignment — automatically assigns users to the appropriate VLAN based on their identity and location and the time of day
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
- Automated voice VLAN assignment — recognizes IP phones and automatically assigns voice traffic to dedicated VLAN for IP phones (may not apply to all models; see specifications for more details)
