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 RIPng protocols
• Security
• provides RA guard, DHCPv6 protection, dynamic IPv6 lockdown, and ND snooping
Performance and efficiency
• Energy-efficient design
− 80 PLUS Silver Certified power supply
increases power efficiency and savings
− Energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) support
reduces power consumption in accordance with IEEE 802.3az
• Designed with the latest Aruba Provision ASIC
providing very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption
• 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
• -Stacking topology
− Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) front plane stacking creates one virtual resilient switch from up to eight
1
switches
− Ring topology supports up to an 8-member stack
− Virtualized switching provides simplified management as the switches act as a single chassis when stacked
NOTE:
1
Requires ArubaOS-Switch 16.06 software.
Convergence
• IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP
automatically prevent flooding of IP multicast traffic
• LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery)
defines a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to configure automatically
network devices such as IP phones
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
facilitates easy mapping using network management applications with LLDP automated device discovery protocol
• PoE and PoE+ allocations
support multiple methods (automatic, IEEE 802.3at dynamic, LLDP-MED fine grain, IEEE 802.3af device class, or user-
specified) to allocate and manage PoE/PoE+ power for more efficient energy savings
• Local MAC Authentication
assigns attributes such as VLAN and QoS using a locally configured profile that can be a list of MAC prefixes
• IP multicast routing
includes PIM Sparse and Dense modes to route IP multicast traffic (limited to 16 interfaces)
• Protocol Independent Multicast for IPv6
supports one-to-many and many-to-many media casting use cases such as IPTV over IPv6 networks
