IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and
security cameras
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3 for devices that use PoE/PoE+, such as video IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access
points, and advanced pan/zoom/tilt security cameras
Prestandard PoE support
detects and provides power to prestandard PoE devices; see list of supported devices in the product FAQs at
www.hp.com/networking
Jumbo frames
on Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, jumbo frames allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery
services
Auto-MDIX
provides automatic adjustments for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports
IPv6
IPv6 host
enables switches to be managed in an IPv6 network
Dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6)
transitions from IPv4 to IPv6, supporting connectivity for both protocols
MLD snooping
forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface
IPv6 ACL/QoS
supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic
IPv6 routing
supports static and OSPFv3 routing protocols
6in4 tunneling
supports encapsulation of IPv6 traffic in IPv4 packets
Performance
High-speed/capacity architecture
up to 153.6 Gbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra- and inter-module switching with up to 111.5 million pps throughput
on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs
Selectable queue configurations
allows for increased performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the
requirements of the network applications
Resiliency and high availability
NEW Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (requires Premium License)
allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments
IEEE 802.1s multiple Spanning Tree Protocols
provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees; encompasses IEEE 802.1D
Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and HP port trunking
support up to 144 trunks, each with up to eight links (ports) per trunk
Distributed trunking
enables loop-free and redundant network topology without using Spanning Tree Protocol; allows a server or switch to connect
to two switches using one logical trunk for redundancy and load sharing
Uplink Failure Detection
QuickSpecs
HP 3500 and 3500 yl Switch Series
