Switch NW CW 2150 8G 2F 2P S6X56ASwitch NW CW 2150 8G 2F 2P S6X56ASwitch NW CW 2150 8G 2F 2P S6X56AThe HPE Networking CW 2150 Switch Series is designed for enterprise branch offices and small to medium-sized business networks that need a dependable access-layer switch for everyday connectivity. This model belongs to a stackable Layer 3 family, making it suitable for organized network expansion in smaller sites and distributed environments.
It is a practical choice for connecting workstations, printers, access points, IP phones, and other networked devices in office networks. The switch can also support uplink connections to other network equipment, helping build a structured wired infrastructure for business use.
A key advantage of this switch series is its focus on access switching with Layer 3 capabilities, which supports more flexible network design than basic unmanaged equipment. Stackable operation can simplify deployment planning and help keep network growth more manageable as requirements change.
The model designation indicates an 8G, 2F, 2P configuration, which identifies the port layout included in this unit. It is intended for professional networking environments where a mix of copper and fiber connectivity may be useful, along with compact hardware designed for installation in standard business network setups.
This switch is built for continuous network operation in office conditions and is suited to environments where stability and consistent throughput are important. Its role is to provide reliable switching performance over time, supporting day-to-day business communication and access needs without unnecessary complexity.

Additionally, it supports Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+) and Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (RPVST+), which improves bandwidth utilization and accelerates convergence. MVRP enables automatic learning and dynamic VLAN assignment.Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP)A protocol specific to Ethernet ring topologies, designed to prevent broadcast storms and ensure rapid topology convergence, typically under 50 ms. Supports 8 instances and 16 rings.Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) TunnelingEnables the transparent transmission of STP BPDU frames, allowing for correct spanning tree calculation across carrier networks, WANs, or MANs.QoS: Advanced Classifier-Based QoSClassifies network traffic using multiple matching criteria based on information from OSI Layers 2, 3, and 4; enables the application of QoS policies such as setting priority levels and limiting bandwidth for selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or the entire switch.Security: Secure BootVerifies digital signatures to prevent unauthorized or malicious software from running during system startup.Access Control Lists (ACLs)Provides Layer 2 to Layer 4 (IP) traffic filtering; supports global ACLs, VLAN-specific ACLs, port-specific ACLs, and IPv6-specific ACLs.IEEE 802.1XA standard user authentication method that uses an 802.1X client (supplicant) on the end device in conjunction with a RADIUS server.RADIUS / HWTACACSSimplifies switch security management by utilizing a password authentication server.MAC-based AuthenticationThe client is authenticated by the RADIUS server based on the device's MAC address.L2 features: Tablica adresów MAC 16K Umożliwia obsługę dużej liczby urządzeń warstwy 2. Agregacja portów 10GbE Pozwala na łączenie portów w grupy w celu zwiększenia całkowitej przepustowości danych do urządzenia zdalnego. Obsługa i tagowanie VLAN Obsługuje standard IEEE 802.1Q, oferując do 4094 identyfikatorów VLAN oraz jednoczesną obsługę 512 VLAN-ów.L3 features: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)Determines the MAC address of another IP host on the same subnet; supports static ARP entries; gratuitous ARP enables the detection of duplicate IP addresses; proxy ARP allows standard ARP operation between subnets or when they are separated by a Layer 2 network.Domain Name System (DNS)Provides a distributed database that translates domain names to IP addresses, simplifying network design; supports client and server modes.Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)Simplifies the management of large IP networks; supports DHCP server, DHCP client, DHCP relay, and rogue DHCP server detection (DHCP Rogue Server Check).Chassis type: RackFan : NoPower supply : ExternalEnvironment requirements: Operating temperature: -5°C to 50°C, Operating relative humidity: 5% to 95%, non-condensingPower supply: Zasilanie AC: od 90 V do 264 VDimensions: 266 x 161 x 44 mmEAN: 5902887070815Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard Enterprise297.04Hewlett Packard Enterprise
