ProCurve Switch 4200vl Series
Features and benefits
Connectivity
• ProCurve/IEEE Auto-MDIX: automatically
adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables
on all 10/100/1000 ports
Performance
• Architecture: up to 76.8 Gbps crossbar
switching fabric provides wire-speed intra- and
inter-module switching with up to 48 million
pps throughput built on ProCurve custom-
designed ASIC technology
Resiliency and high availability
• IEEE 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
• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol:
provides high link availability in multiple
VLAN environments by allowing multiple
spanning trees; encompasses IEEE 802.1D
Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1w Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol
• Hot-swappable modules: permit modules and
mini-GBICs to be added or swapped without
interrupting the network
• Optional redundant power supply: provides
uninterrupted power; allows hot-swapping
of one of the two supplies when installed
Layer 2 switching
• VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE
802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 256 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
• MAC address lockout: prevents configured
particular MAC addresses from connecting
to the network
• Multiple user authentication methods:
– IEEE 802.1X: industry-standard way 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 MAC address of the client
Authentication flexibility:
– Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port:
provides authentication of up to
8 IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents user
“piggybacking” on another user’s IEEE 802.1X
authentication
• Secure FTP: allows secure file transfer to/from
the switch; protects against unwanted file
downloads or unauthorized copying of switch
configuration file
• TACACS+: eases switch management security
administration by using a password
authentication server
