Experience enterprise-grade reliability in a compact, smart-managed package with the HPE Instant On 1960 12XGT 4SFP+ Switch. Built for small and growing businesses, this switch delivers fast, consistent performance across a busy LAN while remaining simple to deploy and manage. With 12 copper 1G ports and 4 SFP+ uplinks, it provides flexible connectivity for workstations, printers, IP phones, wireless access points, and servers, all handled through an intuitive interface that reduces complexity and lowers total cost of ownership. Whether you operate a training center, a healthcare facility, or a tech startup, this switch scales as your network needs evolve, offering secure, reliable performance that can keep pace with today’s digital workloads.

  • The HPE Instant On 1960 12XGT 4SFP+ Switch is purpose-built for small businesses that demand dependable performance without the overhead of enterprise-grade complexity. It combines robust switching capabilities with a streamlined management experience, so your IT resources can focus on growth rather than troubleshooting. With a solid hardware foundation and efficient traffic handling, you can deliver faster access to critical applications, cloud services, and collaboration tools for every employee.
  • Connectivity that flexes with your network needs. The 12x 1G RJ-45 ports give you ample local access for desktops, printers, and point-of-sale devices, while the 4x SFP+ uplink ports connect to your core switch, data center, or campus backbone at 10 Gbps. This mix supports star-topology deployments, simplified segmentation, and easy path to higher speeds as your bandwidth requirements increase, all while maintaining clean, organized cabling.
  • Smart management makes the difference in small IT teams. The switch offers a cohesive management experience through a friendly web interface, CLI access, and optional cloud-based provisioning that reduces on-site visits. You can configure VLANs, QoS rules, port security, and access controls with straightforward wizards or scripts, helping you enforce policy consistently across devices and sites without sacrificing control.
  • Stackable design for future growth. When your needs expand, you can add compatible HPE Instant On 1960 switches to create a scalable, cohesive networking fabric. Stacking simplifies centralized management, unified configurations, and predictable performance across multiple access layers, so you can extend bandwidth, improve redundancy, and streamline administration as you onboard new users, departments, or locations.
  • Security, reliability, and quality of service to keep critical traffic moving. Built with modern network demands in mind, the 1960 12XGT 4SFP+ Switch supports essential security features such as access control, VLAN segregation, and traffic prioritization for voice and video. QoS ensures that latency-sensitive applications—like VoIP calls, video conferencing, and real-time collaboration—receive appropriate priority, while steady error-free performance keeps day-to-day operations running smoothly.

How to Install HPE Instant On 1960 12XGT 4SFP+ Switch

Step 1 — Plan and prepare: Before you power anything on, map out your network topology. Decide which devices will connect to the 12 copper ports for user devices and which uplinks will feed the core network. Prepare IP addressing, VLAN design, and QoS policies that align with your organization’s requirements for voice, video, and data traffic. Having a clear plan reduces configuration time and helps prevent misconfigurations that could disrupt operations.

Step 2 — Rack, power, and cabling: Mount the switch in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, ensuring proper airflow around the unit. Connect the power cord to a reliable outlet, verify that the cooling path is unobstructed, and route network cables neatly to avoid tension or clutter. Use shielded or high-quality Cat6a/next-generation cables for connections to workstations and servers to maximize performance and minimize interference.

Step 3 — Basic connectivity and initial access: Connect a management PC to one of the 1G copper ports or to the management interface if available on an out-of-band path. Access the switch’s web UI or CLI using the default management IP or console port guidance provided in the official documentation. If your organization uses DHCP, ensure the switch can receive an address from your DHCP server; otherwise assign a static address to begin configuration.

Step 4 — Configure core settings: Begin with the essentials: set up a management VLAN, apply administrative credentials, and enable basic security policies. Create VLANs to segment traffic such as a separate VLAN for voice or video, apply QoS rules to prioritize critical services, and configure port security to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting. If you plan to stack with other switches, follow the stacking procedure to ensure consistent policy across devices.

Step 5 — Verification and monitoring: After applying configurations, verify connectivity by testing reachability from client devices to the core network and to external destinations. Check the status indicators and monitor traffic flow with the built-in dashboards or SNMP tools. Save the configuration, schedule regular backups of the switch configuration, and document your topology and policy changes for future maintenance.

Super cute
Color: Bunny (Mauve), Size: Small
Super cute and fuzzy. Definitely perfect size for a puppy and not too loud. The fur is very soft and the nose is sown on not a hard piece that can be chewed on. Very good quality too.

Normally amazing
Color: Spiky Ball (Blue, Orange), Size: Medium
We have purchased these slightly spiky dog balls several times for our very strong jaw heavy chewer dogs and they’ve been amazing. They don’t break down they don’t get torn apart the squeakers don’t even pop out of them. So we ordered another package because we’ve lost a few outside to the lawnmower… oops and the package that got delivered today had only one ball that squeaks and the other does not. THIS IS A PROBLEM ! Unfortunately my female dog got to the new squeaking ball first and my male got to the non-squeaking ball and he was NOT happy. Basically once they claim a ball it’s theirs and the other dogs don’t go near the ball they claimed. So he’s following my female around and every time she squeaks the ball and I’m just waiting for him to attempt to take it from her causing damage to her. Normally… These are amazingly fun, tough, durable but also squeaking balls (that’s rare in a tough ball) that my dogs absolutely love. This time just got a bad batch I guess. When they squeak the dogs LOVE them. After several months of play the squeaker might break inside of the ball but the ball never comes apart or gets damaged. And we as the owners love that they don’t break down are not able to be ripped or torn even by our very strong jawed and big jaw muscle dogs. They are also great for in the house play because they’re small enough that they fit completely inside our dog‘s mouth but obviously not small enough to get swallowed so when we throw them in the house for fetch the dogs can jump up and catch them fully in their mouth so they don’t cause any damage to the walls when they hit the walls. They’re not super heavy but they’re incredibly durable. Definitely worth the price especially if you have heavy chewers or big jaw muscle dogs.

Best fun indestructible toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Truly indestructible no matter how much our oittie tries. She has owned it for three months works at destroying every day with no success. She carries it everywhere. Best purchase for chewer, more fun than the popular rubber heavy duty toy. Do not hesitate your pup will thank you for this fun distraction.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!
