ProCurve Switch 4200vl Series
Features and benefits
Performance
• Non-blocking architecture: up to 76.8 Gbps
non-blocking crossbar switching fabric
provides wire-speed intra- and inter-module
switching with up to 48 million pps
throughput, built on ProCurve custom-
designed ASIC technology
Resiliency and high availability
• 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to
36 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per
trunk; trunking across modules is supported
• Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D): provides
redundant links while preventing network
loops
• 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree
Protocol: increases network uptime through
faster recovery from failed links
• 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides
high link availability in multiple VLAN
environments by allowing multiple spanning
trees
• Hot-swappable modules: permit modules and
mini-GBICs to be added or swapped without
interrupting the network
• Optional redundant power supply: provides
uninterrupted power that allows hot-swapping
of one of the two supplies when installed
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
802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs
simultaneously
• Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP):
allows automatic learning and dynamic
assignment of VLANs
Security
• Port security: prevents unauthorized access
using MAC address lockdown
• MAC address lockout: prevents configured
particular MAC addresses from connecting to
the network
• Multiple user authentication methods:
– IEEE 802.1X: industry-standard way of user
authentication using an 802.1X supplicant on
the client in conjunction with a RADIUS
server
– Web-based authentication: similar to 802.1X,
provides a browser-based environment to
authenticate clients that do not support the
802.1X supplicant
– MAC-based authentication: client is
authenticated with the RADIUS server based
on the MAC address of the client; useful for
clients that have minimal or no user interface
• Secure FTP: allows secure file transfer to/from
the switch (protects against unwanted file
downloads or unauthorized copying of switch
configuration file)
• TACACS+: eases switch management security
administration by using a password
authentication server
• Source-port filtering: allows only specified
ports to communicate with each other
