The HP 2920 Switch Series provides security, scalability, and ease of use for enterprise edge, SMB and branch office, access-layer deployments. A powerful HP Networking ASIC delivers low latency, more packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption.
This robust Basic Layer 3 switch series supports modular stacking, 10GbE, RIP routing, PoE+, ACLs, sFlow, and IPv6. The HP 2920 Switch Series can be managed with the optional HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) software for a single view of your entire network and is ready for the Software-defined Network (SDN) with OpenFlow support.

Features
Flexible, Scalable and SDN Ready Access Layer Switches
The HP 2920 Switch Series provides security, scalability, and ease of use for enterprise edge, SMB, and branch office, access-layer deployments.
Cost-effective, pay-as-you-grow modular stacking support for up to four 10GBASE-T (or SFP+) links and upgradeable power supplies allow your network to quickly scale when needed.
Robust Basic Layer 3 feature set includes static and RIP routing, PoE+, ACLs, sFlow, IPv6, and requires no software licensing.
Software-defined Network (SDN) enabled with OpenFlow support for your network.

High Performance and Power at the Edge
The HP 2920 Switch Series is designed with a powerful HP Networking ASIC, providing low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption so the network can support the media-rich, bandwidth-intensive applications your business demands.
Increase performance with selectable queue configurations and associated memory buffering that meet your network application requirements.
With up to 740 W of internal PoE+ power, the 2920 Switch Series can easily scale to 1440 Watts with a simple connection to an external power supply (EPS) or redundant power supply (RPS).
Plug and play stacking with automated failover enhances network resiliency and RPS support delivers power redundancy.
Efficient 80 PLUS Silver Grade Power Supplies, Energy Efficient Ethernet, and LLDP-MED conserve energy resources. Removable power supplies reduce downtime during upgrades and servicing.

Security and Quality of Service (QoS)You Can Rely on
The HP 2920 Switch Series includes security and quality of services features to build a network that meets ever-changing corporate policies and compliances and help protect your data from both inside and outside attacks.
Flexible authentication options include standards based security protocols such as 802.1X, and MAC and Web for greater, policy-driven application security.
Powerful, multilevel-access security controls include source-port filtering, RADIUS/TACACS+, SSL, Port Security, and MAC address lockout.

Simplify with a Single View of the Network
The HP 2920 Switch Series can be seamlessly managed with the optional HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Software to provide end-to-end network transparency with a consistent network experience through comprehensive configuration, compliance, and policy management.
RMON and sFlow provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events.
Out-of-band Ethernet management port keeps management traffic segmented from your network data traffic.
