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
NEW Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments in IPv4 and IPv6
networks
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
