HP J9471-61201 3500-24-PoE 24-Port + 4-Port SFP Layer 3 Switch

Product Description

The HP 3500-24-PoE Switch, identified by SKU J9471-61201, is a sophisticated network device engineered for enterprise-level performance and management. It features 24 Fast Ethernet ports that are Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled, providing both data connectivity and electrical power to devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. This integrated power delivery simplifies network infrastructure by reducing the need for separate power adapters and outlets for connected endpoints, contributing to a cleaner and more efficient deployment. In addition to its PoE capabilities, the switch is equipped with four Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) uplink ports. These ports offer high-speed, flexible connections to the network backbone, other switches, or servers, allowing for scalable network expansion and high-bandwidth aggregation. As a Layer 3 switch, the J9471-61201 supports advanced routing functionalities, including static and dynamic routing protocols. This enables sophisticated network segmentation through Virtual LANs (VLANs), efficient traffic management, and improved network performance by enabling inter-VLAN routing directly on the switch. This fully managed switch provides administrators with comprehensive control over network operations. It supports a rich set of features including Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing critical traffic, robust security protocols to protect against unauthorized access and threats, and advanced diagnostics for troubleshooting. The rack-mountable design ensures easy integration into standard IT infrastructure racks, making the HP J9471-61201 a reliable and versatile solution for building and managing robust enterprise networks.
