HP JG240A A5500-48G-PoE+ 48-Port + 4-Port SFP Layer 3 Switch

Product Description

The HP JG240A is a high-performance Layer 3 switch belonging to the HP A5500 series, offering extensive connectivity options for enterprise networks. This switch is equipped with 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T ports that support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), capable of powering a wide array of network devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. Additionally, it features four SFP Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, providing flexible and high-speed connections to the network core or other network segments. As a Layer 3 switch, the JG240A provides advanced routing capabilities, including static and dynamic routing protocols, enabling efficient traffic management and network segmentation. This makes it suitable for complex network designs where inter-VLAN routing and policy-based routing are required. The switch boasts a substantial switching capacity of 104 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 77.4 Mpps, ensuring that it can handle demanding traffic loads without performance bottlenecks. Security and quality of service (QoS) are integral to the A5500 series. The HP JG240A includes robust security features such as IEEE 802.1X network access control, access control lists (ACLs), and port security to protect the network from unauthorized access and threats. Its QoS capabilities allow administrators to prioritize critical traffic, ensuring optimal performance for voice, video, and other sensitive applications. The switch also supports stacking, enabling multiple units to be managed as a single logical device for simplified administration and increased network resilience.
