ProCurve Switch 4100gl Series
2
Features and benefits
Performance
•
Fast Path Technology:
wire-speed switching of
intra-module traffic for up to 31.9 million pps
throughput; fully loaded 8-slot chassis capable of
switching 255 million pps
•
Fast switch fabric:
inter-module traffic
switching of up to 2.97 million pps
Resiliency and high availability
•
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking:
support up to 6 trunks, each with up to 4 links
(ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is
supported
•
IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning
Tree Protocol:
increases network uptime through
faster recovery from failed links
•
Optional redundant power supply:
provides
uninterrupted power; allows hot-swapping of one
of the two supplies when installed
•
Hot-swappable modules:
permit modules,
mini-GBICs, and one of the power supplies in a
redundant power supply configuration to be
added or swapped without interrupting the
network
Layer 2 switching
•
VLAN support and tagging:
supports the IEEE
802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 30 VLANs
simultaneously
•
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol:
allows
automatic learning and dynamic assignment of
VLANs
Layer 3 routing
•
Basic IP routing:
enables automatic routing to
the connected VLANs and up to 16 static
routes--including one default route--in IP
networks
Security
•
Port security:
allows access only to specified
MAC addresses, which can be learned or
specified by the administrator
•
IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS network login and
OpenVLAN:
control port-based access for
authentication and accountability
•
:
eases switch management security
administration by using a password
authentication server
•
Secure Shell (SSHv2):
encrypts all transmitted
data for secure, remote command-line interface
(CLI) access over IP networks
•
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL):
encrypts all HTTP
traffic, allowing secure access to the
browser-based management GUI in the switch
•
Secure management access:
all access
methods--CLI, GUI, or MIB--are securely
encrypted through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3
Convergence
•
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP):
automated device discovery protocol for
easy mapping by network management
applications
•
Stacking capability:
single IP address
management for a virtual stack of up to 16
switches, including the ProCurve 2500 series,
2510 series, 2600 series, 2800 series, 2810 series,
2900 series, 3400cl series, 3500yl series, 4200vl
series, 6108, 6200yl-24G-mGBIC, and 6400cl
series
Quality of Service (QoS)
•
Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p):
allows
real-time traffic classification into 8 priority
levels mapped to 4 queues
