Features and benefits

Quality of Service (QoS)

•

Advanced classifier-based QoS: classifies
traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer
2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such
as setting priority level and rate limit to selected
traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis

•

Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization
based on TCP/UDP port numbers

•

Traffic prioritization: allows real-time traffic
classification into eight priority levels mapped to
eight queues

•

Bandwidth shaping:

– Port-based rate limiting: provides per-port

ingress-/egress-enforced maximum bandwidth

– Classifier-based rate limiting: uses access

control list (ACL) to enforce maximum bandwidth
for ingress traffic on each port

– Guaranteed minimum: provides per-port,

per-queue egress-based guaranteed minimum
bandwidth

•

Class of service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p
priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service
(ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number,
source port, and DiffServ

Management

•

Remote Intelligent Mirroring: mirrors selected
ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC
address, or VLAN to a local or remote E8200,
E6200, E5400, or E3500 switch anywhere on the
network

•

RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5: provide
advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for
statistics, history, alarms, and events

•

IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP): automated device discovery protocol

provides easy mapping by network management
applications

•

Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD):

monitors cable between two switches and shuts
down the ports on both ends if the cable is broken,
turning the bi-directional link into uni-directional; this
prevents network problems such as loops

•

Management simplicity: includes HP E-Series
common networking features and CLI
implementation (common across HP
E5400/E8200/E6200/E6600/E3500 switches)

•

Command authorization: leverages RADIUS to
link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual
network administrator's login; also provides an audit
trail

•

Friendly port names: allow assignment of
descriptive names to ports

•

Dual flash images: provide independent primary
and secondary operating system files for backup
while upgrading

•

Multiple configuration files: can be stored to
the flash image

Connectivity

•

IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet:

Lowers power consumption in periods of low link
usage. (Supported on v2 zl 10/100/1000 &
10/100 modules)

•

Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports,
they allow high-performance remote backup and
disaster recovery services

•

Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for
straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100
and 10/100/1000 ports

•

ipv6: IPv6 host: enables switches to be managed
and deployed at the IPv6 network's edge - Dual
stack (IPv4 and IPv6): transitions from IPv4 to IPv6,
supporting connectivity for both protocols - MLD
snooping: forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the
appropriate interface - IPv6 ACL/QoS: supports ACL
and QoS for IPv6 network traffic, preventing traffic
flooding - IPv6 routing: supports static and OSPFv3
routing protocols

crossbar switching fabric provides intra-module and
inter-module switching with 585.6 million pps
throughput on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs

•

Selectable queue configurations: allow you to
increase performance by selecting the number of
queues and associated memory buffering that best
meet the requirements of your network applications

Resiliency and high availability

•

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol: allows
groups of two routers to dynamically back each
other up to create highly available routed
environments

•

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 60 trunks, each with up to 8 links
(ports) per trunk

•

NEW 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

•

Optional redundant power supply (HP
E5400 series): provides uninterrupted power and

allows hot-swapping of the redundant power
supplies when installed

•

Hot-swappable modules (E5400 zl series):

permits modules, mini-GBICs, and power supplies in
a redundant power supply configuration to be
added or swapped without interrupting the network

•

Sparing simplicity: HP zl-common accessories
(interface modules, power supplies)

•

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP):

allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment
of VLANs

•

802.1ad QinQ: increases the scalability of an
Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical
structure; connects multiple LANs on high-speed
campus or metro network

•

NEW MAC-based VLAN: provides granular

control and security; uses RADIUS to map MAC
address/user to specific VLAN's. (requires v2
modules)

Layer 3 services

•

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) helper
function: allows UDP broadcasts to be directed

across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or
subnet broadcast addresses and prevents server
spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP

•

Loopback interface address: defines an
address in Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and
OSPF that can always be reachable, improving
diagnostic capability

•

Route maps: provide more control during route
redistribution; allow filtering and altering of route
metrics

Layer 3 routing

•

Static IP routing: provides manually configured
routing for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks

•

Routing Information Protocol (RIP): provides
RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing

•

OSPF: provides OSPFv2 for IPv4 routing and
OSPFv3 for IPv6 routing

Security

based on the IP field, source/destination IP
address/subnet, and source/destination TCP/UDP
port number on a per-VLAN or per-port basis

Layer 2 switching

•

HP's switch meshing: dynamically load
balances across multiple active redundant links to
increase available aggregate bandwidth

•

VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE

802.1Q standard and 2,048 VLANs simultaneously

•

IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs: isolate select
non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own
VLANs

3

•

from Web browser for clients that do not support
IEEE 802.1X supplicant; customized remediation
can be processed on an external Web server

– MAC-based authentication: client is

authenticated with the RADIUS server based on
client's MAC address

– Concurrent IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC

authentication schemes per port: switch
port will accept up to 32 sessions of IEEE 802.1X,
Web, and MAC authentications

•

Virus throttling: detects traffic patterns typical of
WORM-type viruses and either throttles or entirely
prevents the virus from spreading across the routed
VLANs or bridged interfaces, without requiring
external appliances

•

DHCP protection: blocks DHCP packets from
unauthorized DHCP servers, preventing
denial-of-service attacks

•

Secure management access: securely encrypts
all access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through
SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3

•

USB Secure Autorun (requires HP PCM+):

deploys, diagnoses, and updates switch using a
USB flash drive; works with a secure credential to
prevent tampering

a highly granular and flexible access security policy
and VLAN assignment specific to each authenticated
network user

•

STP BPDU port protection: blocks Bridge
Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not
require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks

•

Dynamic IP lockdown: works with DHCP
protection to block traffic from unauthorized hosts,
preventing IP source address spoofing

•

Dynamic ARP protection: blocks ARP
broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing
eavesdropping or theft of network data

•

Detection of malicious attacks: monitors 10
types of network traffic and sends a warning when
an anomaly that potentially can be caused by
malicious attacks is detected

•

Port security: allows access only to specified
MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified
by the administrator

•

MAC address lockout: prevents particular
configured MAC addresses from connecting to the
network

•

Source-port filtering: allows only specified ports
to communicate with each other
