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

classification into 8 priority levels mapped to 3 queues
• iSCSI support: enables the deployment of Ethernet
storage area network solutions using the iSCSI standard
• Fast Path Technology: wire-speed switching of intra-
module traffic for up to 71.4 million pps throughput
• Fast switch fabric: high-performance switch fabric
(up to 36.6 Gbps)
• Hot-swappable modules: permit modules and mini-
GBICs to be added or swapped without interrupting
the network
