Feature Benefits
Supports standard protocols
IP Routing Supports RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF, OSPF-ECMP, and static routes.
OSPF requires the Premium License for the 6600, 5400zl, and 3500yl switches.
Is standard on the 8200zl and 6200yl series switches.
VLANs Supports IEEE 802.1Q with 2,048 concurrent VLANs, Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP).
IP Multicast Supports PIM-SM, PIM-DM, and IGMP data-driven snooping.
Low cost of ownership
Future-proofing Programmable ASICs allow some future requirements to be implemented without replacing the switch.
Intelligent Edge features can be upgraded to Premium License features on the 6600, 5400zl, and 3500yl
switches, allowing an edge switch to be redeployed as a distribution switch.
ProCurve Lifetime Warranty
♦
Next-business-day advance replacement for as long as you own the product (available in most countries).
Applies to all components and accessories of the 6600 series.
Feature set summary
Additional details about the ProCurve 6600 Switch Series and 8200zl, 5400zl, 6200yl, and 3500yl series
features include the following:
Data center optimized
•Front-to-back airflow: designed to be collocated at the top of a server rack, the 6600 series supports front-
to-back airflow (mechanically reversible) to support hot-aisle/cold-isle configurations; the N+N fan tray is also
hot-swappable, allowing easy replacement in the rack
•Modular internal power supplies: supports redundant, hot-swappable power supply configurations (units ship
with one supply); power load is shared across dual supplies
•Server-to-switch distributed trunking: supports Layer 2 LACP groups from a single server across two different
switches for active-active server NIC teaming configurations
•Power-down idle ports: power down blocks of idle Gigabit and 10-GbE ports to save power; idle ports can
be reinitialized without rebooting; available on 6600-24XG, 6600-48G, and 6600-48G-4XG models
•Out-of-band management: remotely monitor and manage switch via Ethernet out-of-band management port;
eliminate need for terminal server network; available on 6600-24XG, 6600-48G, and 6600-48G-4XG
models
•Deployment/serviceability: data connectivity and management ports are all front-side accessible, and power
supplies and fan trays are rear-side accessible to allow for easy maintenance and in-rack serviceability
Management
•Remote Intelligent Mirroring: mirrors ingress/egress ACL-selected traffic from a switch port or VLAN to a local
or remote 8200zl, 6600, 6200yl, 5400zl, and 3500yl switch port anywhere on the network
•RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history,
alarms, and events
•Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors cable between two switches and shuts down the ports on both
ends if the cable is broken turning the bi-directional link into uni-directional; this prevents network problems
such as loops
