Ric_ Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Other than the huge price difference, what is the difference between ProCurve 2810 24G Switch (J9021A) specifications - HP Small & Medium Business products and ProCurve 2510G-24 Switch (J9279A) specifications - HP Small & Medium Business products ? I need a switch for iSCSI so either one is probably a little bit of overkill (although the magic of VLANs will allow me to use it for other bits).
Geoff Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I can't see any major differences for what you want to do.
Ric_ Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 I can't see any major differences for what you want to do. What's the actual difference though? The specs look identical!
powdarrmonkey Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Protocol support, by the looks of it.
Ric_ Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 Protocol support, by the looks of it. Ah yes.... if I open my eyes I can actually see that! I'll be going for the 2510-24G I think... only uses 30W of power as opposed to 60W too so the TCO will be fuirther reduced!
andybryant Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 It comes down to features. The 2810 has more capabilities - such as sFlow, source port filtering, and enhanced security capabilities. I think the 2810 also has optional redundant power capability through the 600 RPS/EPS. The 2810 also does up to 9,220-byte Jumbos, whereas the 2510G falls 4 bytes shorter at 9,216 !

localzuk Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 The big difference is the 2510 contains 24 10/100 ports and either 2 or 4 1000mbit/gbic ports. The 2810 contains 24 10/100/1000 ports and 2 10/100/1000/Mini-GBIC ports.
Butuz Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 The big difference is the 2510 contains 24 10/100 ports and either 2 or 4 1000mbit/gbic ports. The 2810 contains 24 10/100/1000 ports and 2 10/100/1000/Mini-GBIC ports. The OP is talking about the 2510G not the 2510 - the G denotes all Gigabit ports. Basically from want of a better expression - the 2510G is a more basic layer 2 switch and the 2810 is a mroe advanced Layer 2/Layer 3 switch. For your iSCSI - your not really going to need anything more than the 2510G IMHO - as the bottleneck will end up being your iSCSi SAN's network interface itself and whether it supports bonding 2 or more gigabit links.

User3204 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 The 2510 has a serial port... whereas the 2810 doesn't.... We use that 2810 as the central server switch for our student network.
