What is the switching performance?

Switching capacity is 101 Gbps with 74 Mpps throughput. Latency is <3.7 µs at 1GbE and <2.1 µs at 10GbE for 64-byte packets. MAC address table supports 64,000 entries with learning and filtering.

Does it support Layer 3 features?

Yes, as a managed Layer 3 Ethernet switch, it offers static routing, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, GVRP, IEEE 802.1p priority, and IPv6 host mode for edge deployment and inter-VLAN routing.

How does stacking work?

Stackable up to four switches using 10GbE ports and dedicated stacking module slot, forming a single virtual device with unified IP management. This simplifies scaling while maintaining high availability.

What management options are available?

Supports HP ProCurve Manager Plus, CLI, web browser, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, RMON1, sFlow, OpenFlow, and out-of-band serial management. UDLD monitors link integrity between stacked switches.

What power options does it have?

Includes 1x J9738A 575W modular PSU (100-240VAC). Supports optional redundant RPS or EPS for automatic failover, ensuring continuous operation in mission-critical setups.

Product overview

The HP ProCurve Switch 2900-24G (SKU J9049A) is an enterprise-grade, stackable managed Layer 3 Ethernet switch from the ProCurve 2900 Series. It features 20 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 4 dual-personality ports (RJ-45 or mini-GBIC), plus 2 CX4 10-GbE ports and 2 open 10-GbE X2 transceiver slots for high-speed uplinks and stacking up to four units. Delivering 101 Gbps switching capacity and 74 Mpps throughput, it supports static Layer 3 routing, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, GVRP, port security, and IPv6. Management options include HP ProCurve Manager, CLI, web interface, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, and RMON1. Physical design is rack-mountable (1U) with redundant power supply support via included J9738A PSU and optional RPS/EPS. Ideal for high-performance networks requiring robust security, low latency (<3.7 µs at 1GbE), and flexible 10GbE connectivity in data centers or campuses.
