Features and benefits
• Stacking capability:
provides single IP
address management for a virtual stack of up
to 16 switches
Performance
• 3500yl/5400zl architecture:
115 to 692 Gbps
crossbar switching fabric provides intra- and
inter-module switching with 36 to 428
million pps throughput on purpose-built
ProVision ASIC
Connectivity
• 802.3af Power over Ethernet:
provides up to
15.4 W per port to power compliant PoE
devices such as IP phones, wireless access
points, and 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
• Jumbo frames:
on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit
ports, allow high-performance remote backup
and disaster-recovery services
• ProCurve/IEEE Auto-MDIX:
automatically
adjusts for straight-through or crossover
cables on all 10/100/1000 ports
Resiliency and high availability
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
(requires Premium Edge license):
VRRP
allows groups of two routers to dynamically
back each other up to create highly available
routed environments
• 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree
Protocol:
provides high link availability in
multiple VLAN environments by allowing
multiple spanning trees; encompasses 802.1D
Spanning Tree Protocol and 802.1w Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol
• 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) and ProCurve trunking:
support up
to 36 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports)
per trunk; trunking across modules is
supported
• Hot-swappable modules (5400zl
series):
permit modules, mini-GBICs, and
power supplies in a redundant power supply
configuration to be added or swapped
without interrupting the network
• Optional redundant power supply (5400zl
series):
provides uninterrupted power and
allows hot-swapping of the redundant power
supplies when installed
Layer 2 switching
• ProCurve switch meshing:
dynamically
load-balances across multiple active
redundant links to increase available
aggregate bandwidth
• VLAN support and tagging:
support
complete 802.1Q standard and 2,048 VLANs
simultaneously
• 802.1v protocol VLANs:
isolate select
non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their
own VLANs
• Group VLAN Registration Protocol
(GVRP):
allows automatic learning and
dynamic assignment of VLANs
Layer 3 routing
• Layer 3 IP routing:
-
Static IP routing:
provides basic routing
-
RIP:
provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing at
media speed
-
OSPF (requires Premium Edge license)
includes ECMP to provide link redundancy
and scalable bandwidth
Layer 3 services
• UDP helper function:
UDP broadcasts can be
directed across router interfaces to specific IP
unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and
prevent server spoofing for UDP services
such as DHCP
Security
• Switch CPU protection:
provides automatic
protection against malicious network traffic
trying to shut down the switch
• Virus throttling:
detects traffic patterns
typical of WORM-type viruses and either
throttles or entirely prevents the ability of the
virus to spread across the routed VLANs,
without requiring external appliances
