Product overview
The HP 8200 zl Switch Series offers high performance, scalability, and a wide range of features in a high-availability platform that
dramatically reduces complexity and provides reduced cost of ownership. As part of a unified wired and wireless network
infrastructure solution, the 8200 zl series provides platform technology, system software, system management, application
integration, wired and wireless integration, network security, and support that are common across the HP's modular and fixed-port
switches. Together, they deliver an agile, cost-effective, high-availability network solution. With key technologies to provide solution
longevity, the 8200 zl switch series is built to deliver long-term investment protection without added complexity for network core,
aggregation, and high-availability access layer deployments. It provides these capabilities while bringing to market the industry's first
highly available switch with a lifetime warranty.

Advanced classifier-based QoS
Advanced classifier-based QoS
Advanced classifier-based QoS
Advanced classifier-based QoS: classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies
QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis
Layer 4 prioritization
Layer 4 prioritization
Layer 4 prioritization
Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
Traffic prioritization
Traffic prioritization
Traffic prioritization
Traffic prioritization: allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
Bandwidth shaping
Bandwidth shaping
Bandwidth shaping
Bandwidth shaping:
Port-based rate limiting: provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced maximum bandwidth
Classifier-based rate limiting: uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce maximum bandwidth for ingress traffic on
each port
Guaranteed minimum: provides per-port, per-queue egress-based guaranteed minimum bandwidth

Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol,
TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ

RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and
events
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping by network
management applications
Uni-Directional Link Detection
Uni-Directional Link Detection
Uni-Directional Link Detection
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors cable between two switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if the
cable is broken, turning the bidirectional link into a unidirectional one; this prevents network problems such as loops
