ARUBA 3810 SWITCH SERIES
Performance
• Selectable queue congurations allows for increased
performance by selecting the number of queues
and associated memory buering that best meet the
requirements of the network applications
• Energy-ecient design
- 80 PLUS Silver Certied Power Supply increases power
eciency and savings
- Energy-ecient Ethernet (EEE) support reduces power
consumption in accordance with IEEE 802.3az
• Meshed stacking technology
- High-performance stacking provides up to 336 Gbps of
stacking throughput; each 4-port stacking module can
support up to 42 Gbps in each direction per stacking port
- Ring, chain, and mesh topologies support up to a
10-member ring or chain and 5-member fully meshed
stacks; meshed topologies oer increased resiliency vs. a
standard ring
- Virtualized switching provides simplied management as
the switches appear as a single chassis when stacked
• Aruba Provision ASIC architecture is designed with the
latest ProVision ASIC, providing very low latency, increased
packet buering, and adaptive power consumption
Resiliency and high availability
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) allows groups of
two routers to back each other up dynamically to create highly
available routed environments in IPv4 and IPv6 networks
• Nonstop switching and routing improves network
availability to better support critical applications, such as
unied communication and mobility; trac will continue to
be forwarded during failovers, when the backup member
of the stack becomes the commander
• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and Hewlett
Packard Enterprise port trunking support up to 144 trunks,
each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk
• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree provides high link
availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing
multiple spanning trees; provides legacy support for IEEE
802.1d and IEEE 802.1w
• Dual hot-swappable power supplies
- Increased resiliency provides secondary power supply
to enable complete switch power redundancy in case of
power line or supply failure
- Increased PoE+ power provides the secondary power
supply to increase the total available PoE+ power
• 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
• SmartLink provides easy-to-congure link redundancy of
active and standby links
Layer 2 switching
• IEEE 802.1ad QinQ increases the scalability of an Ethernet
network by providing a hierarchical structure; connects
multiple LANs on a high-speed campus or metro network
• VLAN support and tagging supports the IEEE 802.1Q
standard and 4096 VLANs simultaneously
• IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs isolate select non-IPv4
protocols automatically into their own VLANs
• MAC-based VLAN provides granular control and security;
uses RADIUS to map a MAC address/user to specic VLANs
• Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (RPVST+) allows each
VLAN to build a separate spanning tree to improve link
bandwidth usage; is compatible with PVST+
• HPE switch meshing dynamically load balances across
multiple active redundant links to increase available
aggregate bandwidth; allows concurrent Layer 3 routing
• GVRP and MVRP allows automatic learning and dynamic
assignment of VLANs
Layer 3 services
• Loopback interface address denes an address in Routing
Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First
(OSPF), improving diagnostic capability
• Route maps provide more control during route
redistribution; allow ltering and altering of route metrics
• User datagram protocol (UDP) helper function allows
UDP broadcasts to be directed across router interfaces to
specic IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses; and helps
prevent server spoong for UDP services such as DHCP
• DHCP server centralizes and reduces the cost of IPv4
address management
• Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) enables link
connectivity monitoring and reduces network convergence
time for OSPFv2, and VRRP
Layer 3 routing
• Static IP routing provides manually congured routing for
both IPv4 and IPv6 networks
• OSPF provides OSPFv2 for IPv4 routing and OSPFv3 for
IPv6 routing
• Policy-based routing makes routing decisions based on
policies set by the network administrator
