The HP WX3000G Wireless Switch Series comprises wired and wireless unified switches that integrate both a wireless controller and 1000 Mbps Ethernet switch functions. The WX3000G series switches provide 1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, each supporting a maximum power of 25 W, PoE+ (draft), and IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n APs, while delivering unified wired and wireless access control functions. The 3000G-24G-PoE+ wireless switch provides two 10-GbE slots on the rear panel. This relieves the transmission bottleneck at the core of a WLAN network. The WX3000G series switches are suitable for small- and medium-sized enterprise networks, as well as branches of large enterprise networks that require both wired and wireless access services. - IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic. 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. - Automatic radio power adjustment: automatic AP power adjustment features analyze user access status in real time, adapting power requirements based on environmental changes and providing high-quality user access signal coverage. Automatic radio channel adjustment: intelligent channel switching and real-time interference detection provide the allocation of a high-quality channel to each AP, reducing adjacent channel interference. Load balancing: intelligent load sharing analyzes the locations of wireless clients in real time, providing high-quality client throughput regardless of location or number of online sessions. Rogue AP detection: regular scans for rogue APs help confirm that the network is secure. Enterprise network management: is supported by the Web-based, enterprise-class HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) network management platform and Wireless Service Management (WSM), which effectively integrate traditionally disparate management tools into one easy-to-use interface. - IEEE 802.3at draft Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support: simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs by helping to eliminate the time and cost involved in supplying local power to each access point location. IEEE 802.11h ITU compliant: employs Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to automatically select another channel and adjust transmit power to reduce interference with systems such as radar, if detected on that same channel. Loopback: supports internal loopback testing for maintenance purposes and an increase in availability; loopback detection protects against incorrect cabling or network configurations and can be enabled on a per-port or per-VLAN basis for added flexibility. Optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for 3000-24G-PoE+ wireless switch: add 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections for uplinks or high-bandwidth server connections through 3000-24G-PoE+ extended slots; flexibly supports XENPAK or XFP-style 10 Gigabit transceivers. - Built-in 802.1X and portal authentication servers: the WX3000G series provides a built-in IEEE 802.1X authentication server that supports multiple IEEE 802.1X authentication modes, such as TLS, PEAP, and MD5; the series also provides a built-in portal server that can authenticate users having no security authentication client installed; both features are economical and easy-to-use solutions for small- to medium-sized enterprise networks. Flexible forwarding modes: the WX3000G series supports both distributed forwarding mode and centralized forwarding mode, allowing you to set SSID-based forwarding types as needed; in a wireless network with centralized forwarding mode, all wireless traffic is sent to an AC for processing; if there is a wireless network in which APs are deployed at branches, ACs are deployed at the headquarters, and APs and ACs are connected over a WAN, the distributed mode will be necessary. Fast roaming: supports Layer 3 roaming and fast roaming, satisfying the most demanding voice service requirements. High performance: robust switching capacity and wire-speed processing provide powerful forwarding capacity for medium and large enterprise-sized WLANs. - Web interface: allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser on the network. - VLAN support and tagging: support IEEE 802.1Q with 4,094 simultaneous VLAN IDs. Spanning Tree: fully supports standard IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol for faster convergence, and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol. Port mirroring: duplicates port traffic (ingress and egress) to a local or remote monitoring port. Jumbo packet support: supports up to 4 KB frame size to improve performance of large data transfers. - Layer 3 IP routing (3000G wired features): static IP routing provides basic routing; RIP provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing functions.
