provides active-standby network path redundancy for servers that are configured for active-standby NIC teaming
NEW SmartLink
provides easy-to-configure link redundancy of active and standby link
Layer 2 switching
IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q (requires Premium License)
increases the scalability of an Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connects multiple LANs on a high-speed
campus or metro network
HP switch meshing
dynamically load balances across multiple active redundant links to increase available aggregate bandwidth
VLAN support and tagging
supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard and 2,048 VLANs simultaneously
IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs
isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (RPVST+)
allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree to improve link bandwidth usage; is compatible with PVST+
Layer 3 services
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) helper function
allows UDP broadcasts to be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and prevents
server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP
Loopback interface address
defines an address in Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Standard Path First (OSPF), improving diagnostic capability
Route maps
provide more control during route redistribution; allow filtering and altering of route metrics
Layer 3 routing
Static IP routing
provides manually configured routing for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing
OSPF (requires Premium License)
provides OSPFv2 for IPv4 routing and OSPFv3 for IPv6 routing
Border Gateway Routing Protocol (requires Premium License)
provides IPv4 Border Gateway Routing Protocol that is scalable, robust, and flexible
Security
Access control lists
(ACLs)
provide filtering based on the IP field, source/destination IP address/subnet, and source/destination TCP/UDP port number on a
per-VLAN or per-port basis
Multiple user authentication methods
IEEE 802.1X users per port
provides authentication of multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port
Web-based authentication
authenticates from Web browser for clients that do not support IEEE 802.1X supplicant
