Product Data Sheet / Brochure

allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments; supports VRRP
load balancing
Embedded Automation Architecture (EAA)
monitors the internal event and status of system hardware and software, identifying potential problems as early as possible;
collects field information and attempts to automatically repair the issues; based on the user configuration, onsite information
will be sent to technical support
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
detects quickly the failures of the bidirectional forwarding paths between two devices for upper-layer protocols such as routing
protocols and MPLS
Management
HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC)
integrates fault management, element configuration, and network monitoring from a central vantage point; built-in support for
third-party devices enables network administrators to centrally manage all network elements with a variety of automated
tasks, including discovery, categorization, baseline configurations, and software images; the software also provides
configuration comparison tools, version tracking, change alerts, and more
Industry-standard CLI with a hierarchical structure
reduces training time and expenses, and increases productivity in multivendor installations
Management security
restricts access to critical configuration commands; offers multiple privilege levels with password protection; ACLs provide
telnet and SNMP access; local and remote syslog capabilities allow logging of all access
SNMPv1, v2, and v3
provide complete support of SNMP; provide full support of industry-standard Management Information Base (MIB) plus private
extensions; SNMPv3 supports increased security using encryption
Remote monitoring (RMON)
uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private
alarm extension group
FTP, TFTP, and SFTP support
offers different mechanisms for configuration updates; FTP allows bidirectional transfers over a TCP/IP network; trivial FTP
(TFTP) is a simpler method using User Datagram Protocol (UDP); Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) runs over an SSH tunnel to
provide additional security
Debug and sampler utility
supports ping and traceroute for both IPv4 and IPv6
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps timekeeping consistent among all clock-dependent
devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time
Information center
provides a central repository for system and network information; aggregates all logs, traps, and debugging information
generated by the system and maintains them in order of severity; outputs the network information to multiple channels based
on user-defined rules
Management interface control
provides management access through modem port and terminal interface; provides access through terminal interface, telnet, or
SSH
Network Quality Analyzer (NQA)
analyzes network performance and service quality by sending test packets, and provides network performance and service
quality parameters such as jitter, TCP, or FTP connection delays; allows network manager to determine overall network
performance and diagnose and locate network congestion points or failures
Role-based security
delivers role-based access control (RBAC); supports 16 user levels (0~15)
