Datasheet

Features and benefits
Performance
• Fast Path technology: wire-speed switching of
intra-module traffic for up to 31.9 million pps
throughput; fully loaded 8-slot chassis capable
of switching 255 million pps
• Fast switch fabric: inter-module traffic
switching of up to 2.97 million pps
Resiliency and high availability
• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking:
support up to 6 trunks, each with up to 4 links
(ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is
supported
• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning
Tree Protocol: increases network uptime
through faster recovery from failed links
• Optional redundant power supply: provides
uninterrupted power; allows hot-swapping of
one of the two power supplies when installed
• Hot-swappable modules: permit modules,
mini-GBICs, and one of the power supplies in a
redundant power supply configuration to be
added or swapped without interrupting the
network
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
Layer 2 switching
• VLAN support and tagging: support complete
IEEE 802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 30 VLANs
simultaneously
• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows
automatic learning and dynamic assignment
of VLANs
Security
• Port security: allows access only to specified
MAC addresses, which can be learned or
specified by the administrator
• IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS network login and
OpenVLAN: control port-based access for
authentication and accountability
• TACACS+: eases switch management security
administration by using a password
authentication server
• Secure Shell (SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted
data for secure, remote command-line
interface (CLI) access over IP networks
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): encrypts all HTTP
traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-
based management GUI in the switch
• Secure management access: all access
methods—CLI, GUI, or MIB—are securely
encrypted through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3
Quality of Service (QoS)
• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows
real-time traffic classification into 8 priority
levels mapped to 4 queues
Manageability
• RMON: provides advanced monitoring and
reporting capabilities for statistics, history,
alarms, and events
• Friendly port names: allow assignment of
descriptive names to ports
• ProCurve/IEEE Auto-MDIX: automatically
adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables
on all 10/100/1000 ports
• Dual flash images: provide independent
primary and secondary OS files for backup
while upgrading
• Link Layer Discovery Protocol (IEEE 802.1ab):
automated device discovery protocol for easy
mapping by network management
applications
