Unmanaged and Web-managed (smart-managed)
3 Rev. 10.31
HP V-Series switches are cost-effective, plug-and-play products for small to medium

businesses (SMBs) with fewer than 100 nodes. Because SMBs do not have the staff to
deploy or managed complicated products, the V-Series switches operate with little to
no managementwhile still providing the high performance and basic security
features that more and more companies, even small ones, require.
Earlier, you learned that switches can be deployed at the core, edge, or distribution
level. V-Series switches, on the other hand, are typically deployed in a flat
architecture with a site having only one or a few switches.

The HP V-Series portfolio can be divided into two basic groups:

UnmanagedThese switches have no management interface at all and are
completely plug-and-play.
Smart-managedThese switches can be deployed as plug-and-ploy devices but
can also be managed, primarily through a Web browser interface.
As you see, several groups of HP switches fit into both categories.

5 Rev. 10.31
Unmanaged switches are intended for small businesses with networks that require
basic connectivity and have little or no IT support. Their plug-and-play setup makes
them easy to install, and their fanless design enables open-space deployment.
HP offers several different types of unmanaged Layer 2 switches. Some of the
switches operate at speeds up to 1 Gigabit; others are intended for 10/100 Mbps
environments. Some of these switches are rack mounted, and others are deployed on
the desktop. (For this course, desktop deployment means that you might find the
switch on any horizontal surface or even upside-down under a table or mounted
vertically to a wall.) None of these switches have fans, so they operate quietly and
can be installed in offices (rather than a server closet).
You will now be introduced to each switch, learning to identify its features and to
recognize its physical form factor.

The HP V1410 Switch Series includes unmanaged Layer 2 switches with Gigabit
connectivity.
The V1410-8G switch has eight 10/100/1000 ports. To accommodate deployment
on desktops, the V1410-8G switch has LEDs on the front panel with the eight ports on
the rear panel. It can be mounted on a wall or under a table.
This switch has a compact footprint and is fanless. It includes a Kensington lock slot
for an optional security cable. Its power supply is external, and the switch includes a
power supply tray to keep the mounting area neat.
The V1410-16G and V1410-24G switches are similar but provide more ports. For
these switches, the ports are on the front panel, as shown in the slide. The V1410-
24G also supports fiber-optic connections with its two dual-personality ports, which
can be used as either 10/100/1000 ports for copper cables or open SFP ports.
(Customers can purchase mini-GBICs, which support a variety of connectivity options,
including fiber optic, to insert in the SFP port.)
Note
Throughout this module, unless otherwise noted, a port listed as 10/100/1000
Mbps is understood to be autosensing, to support auto-MDIX, to support Base-T
(copper) cabling, and to comply with IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u
Type 100Base-TX, and IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet.
Similarly, unless otherwise noted, a port listed as 10/100 Mbps is understood to
be autosensing, to support auto-MDIX, to support Base-T (copper) cabling, and
to comply with IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T and IEEE 802.3u Type 100Base-TX.

The HP V1405 Switch Series consists of unmanaged, fixed-port switches for SMBs.
These easy-to-install, 1U, rack-mounted switches are plug-and-play. Nonetheless, they
provide advanced Layer 2 switching features such as IEEE 802.1p traffic prioritization
to ensure that voice and video traffic receives the quality of service that it needs.
Furthermore, the switches automatically reduce their power consumption based on
the number of connected ports and reduce consumption further still with fanless
operation.
The V1405 switches provide high-speed connectivity and wirespeed performance
with 16 10/100/1000 Mbps ports in the V1405-16G and 24 10/10/1000 Mbps
ports in the V1405-24G.

Also members of the V1405 Switch Series, the V1405-16, V1405-24, and V1405-24-
2G switches are rack-mounted, unmanaged switches. They do not have fans and
provide intelligent power consumption. Supporting 10/100 Mbps connectivity, these
non-blocking switches are deployed in lower-speed environments. (In a non-blocking
switch, the backplane speed or internal switching mechanism bandwidth is at least
as large as the sum of the speeds of all of the ports.)
The V1405-16 has 16 10/100 Mbps ports and the V1405-24 has 24. The V1405-24-
G is distinguished by two 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, for uplink connections to
servers or other switches, in addition to its 24 10/100 Mbps ports.

The next members of the V1405 Series have C, or Desktop, in their names. These
switches are similar to the other members of the series, providing reliable Layer 2
connectivity for SMBs who need either Gigabit or 10/100 Mbps speeds. However,
with a fanless design and unobtrusive fixed-port physical form factor, the switches are
deployed at the desktop.
As you see in the slide, these switches divide into two groups, the Gigabit switches
(with G in the model name) and the 10/100 Mbps switches, each type featuring a 5-
port, 8-port, or 16-port model. All of these are non-blocking switches, providing
wirespeed throughput for each port.
All of the switches on this slide provide similar power-reduction green technologies to
those on the previous V1405 switches. In addition, the Gigabit switches support
802.1p priority for QoS.

The HP V1400 Series consists of two fixed-port, unmanaged Layer 2 models suitable
for edge deployment in small networks requiring basic connectivity. It is designed to
meet the needs of companies that have no IT support or a small IT staff. To facilitate
deployment in offices that do not have a server closet, the V1400 switch is fanless.
The V1400-8G switch includes the following features:
Eight 10/100/1000 ports
Throughput up to 11.9 millions of packets per second (mpps)
The V1400-24G switch included the following features:
22 10/100/1000 ports
Two dual-personality ports, which can be used as either RJ-45 10/100/1000
ports or open SFP ports

Refer to this table for a reference guide to the switches about which you just learned.
You can quickly see which switches provide high-speed connectivity and where each
switch can be deployed. Note that the HP V1410 and V1400 Series switches can be
rack-mounted or deployed at the desktop (however, the 8 port models are desktop
only).

Smart-managed switches are designed for customers whose needs have grown
beyond the one-size-fits all approach of an unmanaged switch, but still have a
limited IT staff. These switches can be deployed as plug-and-play devices, or a
customer can configure them to implement more advanced and specialized functions.
An easy-to-use Web browser interface guides the customer through most
management tasks. In fact, smart-managed switches are sometimes also called Web-
managed switches. However, the term smart-managed is preferred for the HP
products because several of the V-Series switches feature a limited command line
interface (CLI) in addition to the Web browser interface.
The smart-managed switches can be divided into several series:
HP V1910 Series Switches
HP V1810G Series Switches
HP OfficeConnect Managed Switch 9 FX
Rev. 10.31 8 11
The switches can be distinguished according to several factors:

Whether they provide 10/100/1000 or 10/100 Mbps connectivity
Whether they operate at Light Layer 3 or Layer 2 only
Whether they provide PoE
Whether they are rack-mounted or desktop-deployed
The following slides cover the smart-managed switches in more detail, teaching you
how to distinguish them according to these factors.

4 SFP ports
13 Rev. 10.31
The HP V1910 Switch Series provides enhanced functionality with more features and
the ability to manage these features through a Web browser interface.
First, you will look at the Gigabit capable switches in this series, the V1910 switches.
Shown in the slide, are three models in this series, the V1910-16G, V1910-24G, and
V1910-48G, with 16, 24, and 52 10/100/1000 ports respectively. Each switch also
provides four open SFP ports in which customers can install various mini-GBICs for
additional connectivity options.
These V1910 switches are all Light Layer 3 switches; that is, each supports multiple IP
addresses and several static routes. They also provide basic access control lists (ACL),
making them the ideal switch for an SMB that needs to divide users into different
subnets.
Rev. 10.31 8 13
Light Layer 3 smart-managed switches:

V1910-24G-PoE(170W) switch
24 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports

V1910-24G-PoE(365W) switch
24 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports
4 SFP ports
14 Rev. 10.31
Here, you see the two members of the V1910 switches that provide PoE. The V1910-
24G-PoE(170W) and V1910-24G-PoE(365W) switches both provide 24
10/100/1000 PoE+ ports. They are distinguished by the amount of power that they
provide, up to 170W or 365W.
8 14 Rev. 10.31
Layer 2 smart-managed switches:

V1905-24 switch
24 10/100 ports
2 dual-personality ports
V1905-48 switch
48 10/100 ports
V1905-24-PoE switch
24 10/100 PoE ports
15 Rev. 10.31
The V1905 Series includes several switches that operate at 10/100 Mbps: the
V1905-24, V1905-48, and V1905-24-PoE, providing 24, 48, and 24 ports,
respectively. Each of these switches also provide two dual-personality ports, which
can be used to connect to upstream switches or to servers that require more
bandwidth. On all of the former 3Com switches, a dual-personality port is actually a
set of two ports, only one of which can be used at once:
One 10/100/1000 port (for copper cables)
One SFP port into which a variety of mini-GBICs, supporting different types of
connections, including fiber-optic ones, can be installed (see Module 3: HP A-
Series Switch Hardware for more information on transceivers).
The V1905-24-PoE switch provides PoE (up to 154W).
Unlike the V1910 switches, the V1905 Series switches operate at Layer 2 only.

The next members of the V1905 Series are also smart-managed switches with
capabilities such as 802.1X port security and advanced QoS. These switches are
ideal for desktop deployments.
The V1905-10G-PoE Switch supports PoE for each of its nine 10/100/1000 Mbps
ports while the V1905-8-PoE Switch provides PoE on eight 10/100 ports.
Each switch also features one dual-personality port. On the V1905-10G-PoE switch,
the 10/100/1000 port component of the dual-personality port is PoE-capable.

The OfficeConnect Managed Switch 9 FX provides another option for companies

seeking a smart-managed switch that supports 10/100 Mbps connectivity. The switch
provides eight 10/100 Mbps ports, four of which support PoE. For its uplink
connection, the switch features a dual-purpose port in which customers can install
either a 100Base FX link or an SFP transceiver if they need a different type of fiber-
optic link.

The HP V1810G Switch Series replaced the V1800 Switch Series, providing
enhancements in deployment options, physical security, and energy efficiency. Both
models in this seriesthe V1810G-8 and the V1810G-24can be deployed on the
wall, ceiling, tabletop or under table. The V1810G-24 can also be installed in a rack
mount. Both switches have a Kensington lock slot so they can be physically secured
in open areas.
Like the V1800 switches, the V1810G switches are Layer 2, Web-managed switches.
The V1810G-8 switch has a compact footprint and provides the following:
Eight 10/100/1000 ports
Fanless for quiet operation in open areas
Throughput of up to 11.9 mpps
The V1810G-8 switch can also be powered by an upstream PoE device, making it a
