Switch 5300xl Series

HP ProCurve Switch 5348xl (J4849A)

Designed to accommodate the most demanding network needs,
the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl series offers scalable layer 2, 3,
and 4 switching in compact 4- or 8-slot modular form factors.
These convergence-ready switches provide flexibility, high port
density, free software updates, and a lifetime warranty. The easy­to-use Switch 5300xl series provides the latest in technology with
unparalled investment protection and superior return on IT.

HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series

Features and benefits

• Non-blocking architecture: 76.8 Gbps non-blocking

crossbar switching fabric provides wire-speed intra­and inter-module switching with up to 48 million
pps throughput built on HP custom-designed ASIC
technology

• IP layer 3 routing: provides routing of IP at media

speed; supports static routes, RIP, RIPv2, and OSPF

• Router redundancy (XRRP): allows groups of 2 routers

to dynamically back each other up to create highly
available routed environments

• IP multicast routing (PIM Dense): routes IP multicast

using the PIM Dense routing protocol

• IP multicast (data-driven IGMP): automatically prevents

flooding of IP multicast traffic

• HP switch meshing: dynamically load-balances across

multiple active redundant links to increase available
aggregate bandwidth

• 802.1s Multi-Instance Spanning Tree: high link

availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing
multiple spanning trees

• 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol:

increases network uptime through faster recovery
from failed links

• 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and
HP trunking: support up to 36 trunks, each with up to
8 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is
supported

• Cisco Fast EtherChannel

®

(FEC): supports Cisco’s

proprietary FEC trunking protocol

• Web-based authentication: similar to 802.1X,
provides a browser-based environment to authenticate
clients that do not support the 802.1X supplicant

• Access control lists (ACLs): provide IP layer 3 filtering
based on source/destination IP address/subnet and
source/destination TCP/UDP port number

• VLAN support and tagging: support complete

802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs
simultaneously

• 802.1v Protocol VLANs: isolate select non-IPv4 protocols
automatically into their own VLANs

• Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): allows

automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

• Port security: prevents unauthorized access using MAC

address lockdown

• MAC address lockout: prevents configured particular

MAC addresses from connecting to the network

• Source port filtering: allows only specified ports to

communicate with each other

• TACACS+: eases switch management security

administration by using a password authentication
server

• Secure Shell (SSHv1/SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted

data for secure CLI remote 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 FTP: allows secure file transfer to/from the

switch—protects against unwanted file downloads or
unauthorized copying of switch configuration file

• Secure access to manage the 5300xl series: all access

methods—CLI, GUI, or MIB—are securely encrypted
through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3

• Static NAT: hide up to 32 nodes per switch from the rest

of the network through static IP address translation

• Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on

TCP/UDP port numbers

• Traffic prioritization (802.1p): allows real-time traffic

classification into 8 priority levels

• Rate limiting: limit the maximum ingress traffic on a

per-port basis to a configured percentage of that port’s
total bandwidth

• Class of Service (CoS): sets 802.1p priority tag based

on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), L3 protocol,
TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ

• RMON, XRMON, sFlow, and SMON: provide advanced

monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics,
history, alarms, and events

These features will be available for download February 2004.
