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.

Management
• Secure Web GUI: provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS

Connectivity
• Gigabit uplinks: dual-personality ports for either 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC SFP connectivity for increased connectivity flexibility

Manageability
• RMON (remote monitoring): provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events

Layer 2 switching
• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

Security
• 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)

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

Quality of Service (QoS)
• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification mapped to four hardware queues per port
