Connectivity
•
Dual-personality functionality:
four 10/100/1000 ports or
mini-GBIC slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX,
-LX, or -LH
Performance
•
48 Gbps backplane with up to 34.7 million pps (HP ProCurve
Switch 2824) and 96 Gbps backplane with up to 69.8 million
pps (HP ProCurve Switch 2848):
ten times the bandwidth for
low-latency throughput
Resiliency and high availability
•
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and
ProCurve trunking:
support up to 24 trunks, each with up to 8
links (ports) per trunk
•
Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D):
provides redundant
links while preventing network loops
•
IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol:
increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links
•
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree:
provides high link
availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple
spanning trees
•
Optional external redundant power supply:
provides
uninterrupted power
Layer 2 switching
•
VLAN support and tagging:
supports the IEEE 802.1Q (4,094
VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously
•
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol:
allows automatic learning
and dynamic assignment of VLANs
•
Jumbo packet support:
supports up to 9,216 byte frame size to
improve performance of large data transfers
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
•
Dynamic ARP protection:
blocks ARP broadcasts from
unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network
data
•
Dynamic IP lockdown:
works with DHCP protection to block
traffic from unauthorized hosts, preventing IP source address
spoofing
•
Port security:
allows access only to specified MAC addresses,
which can be learned or specified by the administrator
•
MAC address lockout:
prevents configured particular MAC
addresses from connecting to the network
•
Multiple user authentication methods:
-
IEEE 802.1X:
industry-standard method of user authentication
using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with
a RADIUS server
-
Web-based authentication:
similar to IEEE 802.1X, provides a
browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not
support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
-
MAC-based authentication:
client is authenticated with the
RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
•
Secure FTP:
allows secure file transfer to/from the switch;
protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying
of switch configuration file
•
RADIUS/:
eases switch management security
administration by using a password authentication server
•
Source-port filtering:
allows only specified ports to
communicate with each other
•
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
•
Switch management logon security:
can require either
RADIUS or authentication for secure switch CLI logon
