•
Jumbo frames
on Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit ports, jumbo frames allow
high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services
•
HP unified core-to-edge hardware
HP ProVision family-common interface and service modules, Gigabit
optics/10 GbE transceivers, and power supplies enable sparing
simplicity
•
Prestandard PoE support
detects and provides power to prestandard PoE devices; see the list
of supported devices in the product FAQs at
www.hp.com/networking
•
Auto-MDIX
automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on
all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports
•
IPv6
– IPv6 host
enables switches to be managed in an IPv6 network
– Dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6)
transitions from IPv4 to IPv6, supporting connectivity for both
protocols
– MLD snooping
forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface
– IPv6 ACL/QoS
supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic
– IPv6 routing
supports static and OSPFv3 routing protocols
– 6in4 tunneling
supports encapsulation of IPv6 traffic in IPv4 packets
Performance
•
High-speed, high-capacity architecture
1.12 Tbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra-module and
inter-module switching with 739.2 million pps throughput on the
purpose-built HP ProVision ASICs
•
Selectable queue configurations
allows for increased performance by selecting the number of
queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the
requirements of the network applications
•
Scalable system design
chassis architecture/backplane provides built-in performance
capacity/headroom to support next-generation
high-density/high-speed connectivity
Resiliency and high availability
•
Nonstop switching
improves network availability to better support critical applications
such as unified communication and mobility; interface and fabric
modules continue switching traffic during failover from active to
standby management module
•
Nonstop routing
enhances Layer 3 high availability; OSPFv2/v3 and VRRP will
continue to operate and route network traffic during failover from
an active to a standby management module
•
Redundant management, fabric, and power
provide enhanced system availability and continuity of operations
•
Distributed trunking
enables loop-free and redundant network topology without using
Spanning Tree Protocol; allows a server or switch to connect to two
switches using one logical trunk for redundancy and load sharing
•
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
•
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and HP
port trunking
support up to 144 trunks, each with up to eight links (ports) per
trunk
•
Proven ASIC and system architecture
the HP ProVision ASIC and platform architecture, leveraged from
HP's successful 5400 zl, 3500, 6600, and 6200 yl switch series,
reduces technology risk and provides reliable support and flexibility
•
HP zl family components
employ market-proven intelligent edge switch interface modules,
optics, and power supplies to reduce technology risk and enhance
system reliability
•
Hot-swappable modules
interface, management, and fabric modules as well as mini-GBIC
optics and power supplies can be removed, swapped, or added to
the system without interrupting ongoing switch operations
•
Redundant, hot-swappable cooling
redundant fan design and hot-swappable fan tray provide
continuity of operation in case of a single fan failure
•
Passive system design
passive chassis backplane (no traffic-forwarding active
componentry) provides system reliability and reduces the impact of
a component failure
•
Virtual Route Redundancy Protocol
allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to
create highly available routed environments
Layer 2 switching
•
VLAN support and tagging
supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard and 2,048 VLANs simultaneously
•
IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs
isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own
VLANs
•
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
