A switch chassis with 44 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four expansion slots for Layer 3 routing

  • Type of switchSwitch Chassis
  • 44 Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-density copper connectivity
  • Four expansion slots allow flexible uplink or stacking modules
  • Layer 3 routing support enables inter-VLAN traffic handling
  • 10/100/1000Base-T compatibility connects legacy and modern devices
  • ProCurve 4200vl series chassis built for modular network growth

4204vl-48GS 44-port chassis

The HPE ProCurve 4204vl-48GS is a Layer 3 switch chassis that provides 44 Gigabit Ethernet ports with 10/100/1000Base-T support. It is built for network managers who need a modular core that can grow with changing bandwidth demands.

Suited for modular uplinks, not fixed density

Teams that want to add specialised uplink modules or redundant fabrics will use the four expansion slots. Buyers who need a higher fixed port count in a single appliance or who require 10-Gigabit interfaces without extra modules should look at a different platform.

Four open slots define the upgrade path

The empty expansion bays accept optional line cards for fibre uplinks, stacking links or additional copper density. No transceivers, cables or licence keys are bundled, so every new capability must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

What modules do I need to populate the four expansion slots on this 4204vl-48GS chassis?

The chassis provides four open module slots; you must add compatible ProCurve 4200vl series modules to enable the 44 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Will my existing 10/100Base-T devices connect directly to the 44 Gigabit ports on this switch?

Yes, the 44 ports support 10/100/1000Base-T, so legacy 10 and 100 Mb/s devices will link at their rated speeds.

How can I confirm the chassis is operating at Layer 3 after I install the modules?

Access the management interface and verify that IP routing tables and VLAN interfaces are active, which indicates Layer 3 operation.
