ProCurve 2910al-48G Ethernet Switch

The HPE ProCurve 2910al-48G is a managed Ethernet switch built for enterprise networks. It provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet network ports for high-density connectivity. Four dual-personality ports allow 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC uplink options. The chassis supports up to four optional 10-Gigabit CX4 or SFP+ modules for scalable bandwidth.

Suited for enterprise edge and branch deployments

This switch fits organisations deploying converged networks or data-centre top-of-rack installations. Static and RIP IPv4 routing plus robust security features simplify management. Buyers who need PoE power delivery or Layer 3 dynamic routing protocols should evaluate other platforms. Environments requiring pre-installed 10-Gigabit uplinks must add the optional modules separately.

Flexible uplink architecture

The defining specification is the combination of 48 fixed Gigabit ports and four dual-personality ports that accept copper or mini-GBIC media. Up to four optional 10-Gigabit CX4 or SFP+ modules can be added to match uplink demand. Free software updates protect the investment over the product lifecycle.

Questions about this item

Does the HPE J9147A ship with the four SFP+ uplink modules or must they be purchased separately?

The 2910al-48G includes 48 fixed 10/100/1000 ports plus four dual-personality slots that accept mini-GBIC transceivers; 10-Gigabit CX4 or SFP+ modules are optional and sold separately.

Should I choose the base 48-port model or add the optional 10-Gigabit uplink modules for aggregation?

Start with the 48 copper ports for access; add up to four 10-Gigabit CX4 or SFP+ modules only if you need high-speed uplinks to core switches or servers.

What throughput can I expect on the 48 copper ports once the switch is in a live network?

Each of the 48 ports negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps full-duplex; actual throughput depends on frame size, traffic mix and the 10-Gigabit uplinks if fitted.
