IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet
(PoE): provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such
as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras
Pre-standard PoE support
: detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices; see list of supported devices in the
product FAQ at:
www.hp.com/networking/support
Gigabit uplink connectivity
: two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and two mini-GBIC ports for connectivity such as Gigabit (SX, LX,
LH, 1000BASE-T) and 100BASE-FX
Auto-MDIX
: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 ports
Jumbo packet support
: supports up to 9216 byte frame size to improve performance of large data transfers
Pre-standard PoE support
: detects and provides power to most of Cisco's pre-standard PoE devices; see list of support devices
in product's FAQ on:
www.hp.com/networking
Resiliency and high availability
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol
(LACP)
and HP port trunking
: support up to 24 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
Optional redundant power supply
: provides uninterrupted power (provided by HP 600 RPS/EPS)
Manageability
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow
: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
Uni-Directional Link Detection
(UDLD): monitors a link between two switches and blocks the ports on both ends of the link if
the link goes down at any point between the two devices
Command authorization
: leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to individual network administrator's login;
also provides an audit trail
Multiple configuration files
: allow multiple configuration files to be stored to flash image
Dual flash images
: provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
Single IP Address Management
: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches
Friendly port names
: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
Find-Fix-Inform
: finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs administrator
Software updates
: free downloads from the Web
Troubleshooting
: ingress and egress port monitoring enable network problem solving
Layer 2 switching
VLAN support and tagging
: supports IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
(GVRP): allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs
: isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs
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
Security
Multiple user authentication methods
:
IEEE 802.1X: industry-standard method of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction
with a RADIUS server
Web-based authentication: similar to IEEE 802.1X, it provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that
