Features and benefits
Software-defined networking
•
NEW OpenFlow
is a key technology enabling software-defined networking by
allowing the separation of data (packet forwarding) and control
(routing decision) paths
Quality of Service (QoS)
•
Advanced classifier-based QoS
classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3,
and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level
and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis
•
Layer 4 prioritization
enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
•
Traffic prioritization
allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels
mapped to eight queues
•
Bandwidth shaping
– Port-based rate limiting
provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced maximum bandwidth
– Classifier-based rate limiting
uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce maximum bandwidth
for ingress traffic on each port
– Guaranteed minimum
provides per-port, per-queue egress-based guaranteed minimum
bandwidth
•
Class of Service (CoS)
sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of
Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port,
and DiffServ
HP AllianceONE integration
•
HP AllianceONE Services zl Module
allows you to embed applications directly into the network, either
distributed throughout the network at the network edge or
centralized in the core or distribution layer; for more information
about the HP AllianceONE solution, visit the HP website
Management
•
Remote intelligent mirroring
mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC
address, or VLAN to a local or remote HP 8200 zl, 6600, 6200 yl,
5400 zl, or 3500 Switch anywhere on the network
•
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5
provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for
statistics, history, alarms, and events
•
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping of
network management applications
•
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD)
monitors a cable between two switches and shuts down the ports
on both ends if the cable is broken, turning the bidirectional link into
a unidirectional one; this prevents network problems such as loops
•
HP unified core-to-edge device/network management tools
provide HP networking portfolio-common device-level tools (CLI,
Web GUI, and Menu) plus seamless integration into HP
PCM+/Identity Driven Manager (IDM) network management
deployments
•
Command authorization
leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an
individual network administrator's login; an audit trail documents
activity
•
Friendly port names
allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
•
Dual flash images
provides independent primary and secondary operating system files
for backup while upgrading or fine-tuning the switch configuration
•
Multiple configuration files
can be stored to the flash image
•
HP unified core-to-edge features
HP ProVision portfolio-common feature implementation allows
faster solution deployment
•
NEW Comware CLI
– Comware-compatible CLI
bridges the experience of HP Comware CLI users who are using
the HP ProVision software CLI
– Display and fundamental Comware CLI commands
are embedded in the switch CLI as native commands; display
output is formatted as on Comware-based switches, and
fundamental commands provide a Comware-familiar initial switch
setup
– Configuration Comware CLI commands
when Comware commands are entered, CLI help is elicited to
formulate the correct ProVision software CLI command
Connectivity
•
High-density port connectivity
provides 12 interface module slots, up to 288 wire-speed
10/100/1000 PoE-enabled ports, or 96 10-GbE ports per system
•
IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet
lowers power consumption in periods of low-link usage (supported
on v2 zl 10/100/1000 and 10/100 modules)
•
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
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 802.3 for PoE-/PoE+-powered
devices such as video IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access
points, and advanced pan/zoom/tilt security cameras
