Connectivity
•
10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity:
Up to four
optional and flexible 10-Gigabit ports (CX4 and/or
SFP+)--with optional interconnect kit for
short-distance connectivity
•
IPv6:
–
IPv6 host:
the switches can be managed and
deployed at the edge of IPv6 networks
–
Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6):
provides transition
mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6; supports
connectivity for both protocols
–
MLD snooping:
forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to
the appropriate interface; prevents IPv6 multicast
traffic from flooding the network
•
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet:
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:
provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3at
compliant PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as video
IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points,
and advanced pan/zoom/tilt security cameras
•
Pre-standard PoE support:
detects and
provides power to pre-standard PoE devices; see list
of supported devices in the product FAQ at
www.
ProCurve.com
•
Auto-MDIX:
automatically adjusts for
straight-through or crossover cables on all
10/100/1000 ports
•
Dual-personality functionality:
four
10/100/1000 ports or SFP slots for optional fiber
connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, -LH, 100-FX,
100-BX, and 1000-BX
•
Stacking capability:
single IP address
management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches,
including the HP ProCurve Switch 2500 Series,
2510 Series, 2600 Series, 2610 Series, 2800
Series, 2810 Series, 2900 Series, 2910al Series,
3400cl Series, 3500yl Series, 4200vl Series, 6108,
6200yl-24G-mGBIC, and 6400cl Series
Performance
•
High-performance architecture:
128 Gbps
switching fabric with up to 95 million pps (24-port
switches) and 176 Gbps switching fabric with up to
131 million pps (48-port switches)
•
Selectable queue configurations:
increase
performance by selecting the number of queues and
associated memory buffering that best meet the
requirements of your network applications
Resiliency and high availability
•
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree:
provides
high link availability in multiple VLAN environments
by allowing multiple spanning trees; provides
legacy support for IEEE 802.1d and IEEE 802.1w
•
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol
(LACP) and ProCurve trunking:
support up to
24 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk
•
Optional redundant power supply:
supplies
backup power in case of power failure (Note: HP
ProCurve 620 Redundant/External Power Supply
provides only RPS functionality for the 2910al
series)
Manageability
•
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow:
provide
advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for
statistics, history, alarms, and events
•
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD):
monitors a link between two switches and blocks the
ports on both ends of the link if the link goes down
at any point between the two devices
•
Command authorization:
leverages RADIUS to
link a custom list of CLI commands to individual
network administrator's login; also provides an audit
trail
•
Dual flash images:
provides independent
primary and secondary operating system files for
backup while upgrading
