The ProCurve Switch 4100gl series is convergence-ready and easy to use, and is
available in compact 8-slot and 4-slot modular form factors. Based on ProCurve
Fast Path Technology, these switches provide reliable, high-performance,
high-density 10 Mbit, 100 Mbit, or Gigabit connectivity for a growing network.
The ProCurve 4100gl series is the low-cost, modular alternative to stackable
switches and includes a lifetime warranty.

Features and benefits
Performance
• Fast Path Technology: wire-speed switching of
intra-module traffic for up to 31.9 million pps
throughput; fully loaded 8-slot chassis capable of
switching 255 million pps
• Fast switch fabric: inter-module traffic
switching of up to 2.97 million pps
Resiliency and high availability
• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking:
support up to 6 trunks, each with up to 4 links
(ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is
supported
• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning
Tree Protocol: increases network uptime through
faster recovery from failed links
• Optional redundant power supply: provides
uninterrupted power; allows hot-swapping of one
of the two supplies when installed
Security
• Port security: allows access only to specified
MAC addresses, which can be learned or
specified by the administrator
• IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS network login and
OpenVLAN: control port-based access for
authentication and accountability
• TACACS+: eases switch management security
administration by using a password
authentication server
• Secure Shell (SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted
data for secure, remote command-line interface
(CLI) access over IP networks
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): encrypts all HTTP
traffic, allowing secure access to the
browser-based management GUI in the switch
• Secure management access: all access
methods--CLI, GUI, or MIB--are securely
encrypted through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3
• Hot-swappable modules: permit modules,
mini-GBICs, and one of the power supplies in a
redundant power supply configuration to be
added or swapped without interrupting the
network
Layer 2 switching
• VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE
802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 30 VLANs
simultaneously
• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows
automatic learning and dynamic assignment of
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
Convergence
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for
easy mapping by network management
applications
• Stacking capability: single IP address
management for a virtual stack of up to 16
switches, including the ProCurve 2500 series,
2510 series, 2600 series, 2800 series, 2810 series,
2900 series, 3400cl series, 3500yl series, 4200vl
series, 6108, 6200yl-24G-mGBIC, and 6400cl
series
Quality of Service (QoS)
• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows
real-time traffic classification into 8 priority
levels mapped to 4 queues

Manageability
• RMON: provides advanced monitoring and
reporting capabilities for statistics, history,
alarms, and events
• Friendly port names: allow assignment of
descriptive names to ports
• ProCurve/IEEE Auto-MDIX: automatically
adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables
on all 10/100/1000 ports
• Dual flash images: provides independent
primary and secondary OS files for backup while
upgrading
Industry-leading warranty
• Lifetime warranty: for as long as you own the
product, with next-business-day advance
replacement (available in most countries)

the J8177B mini-GBIC can be installed in
either the upper or lower mini-GBIC port,
but will block access to the other port.
See the document titled "Support for the
J8177B 1000Base-T Mini-GBIC", on the
"ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs" Manuals
Web page, for supported platforms and
minimum software requirements to
support this product.
