HP ProCurve Switch 8100fl Series

The ProCurve Switch 8100fl series is made up of the first interconnect fabric switches in the industry that focus
on delivering a high-availability, high-bandwidth, and cost-effective platform, providing an excellent
interconnect for the Adaptive EDGE Architecture™ network. The Switch 8100fl series is streamlined to provide
resilient, high-performance connectivity between intelligent edge devices, and it delivers critical features
geared toward enabling an Adaptive EDGE Architecture deployment. The Switch 8100fl series enables easy
migration to applications that require security, mobility, and convergence decisions at the edge.

Features and benefits

Connectivity

• 10-GbE optical/copper media flexibility: offers SR/LR/ER
optical and CX4 copper connectivity in a single 2-port X2 Interface
Module

Performance

• Large switching capacity: provides up to 320 Gbps bandwidth

• Wire-speed 100/1000 design: assures non-blocking packet
forwarding on all Gigabit ports

• Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow
high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services
(up to four ports per module on Gigabit modules)

• Distributed processing architecture: results in better system
utilization and performance

Resiliency and high availability

• Modular, distributed software architecture: individual
restartable processes yield enhanced overall system availability
and supportability

• Optional redundancy:

- Redundant switch fabric: provides rapid (‹ 0.2 sec.), automatic
active-to-standby module failover

- Redundant management: provides automatic failover from the
active management module to the standby management module

- Redundant power supply: provides uninterrupted power

• Multiple Spanning Trees (IEEE 802.1s): provides efficient high
link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple
coincident spanning trees; includes support of Spanning Tree
Protocol (IEEE 802.1D) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE

802.1w)

• Automatic routing switch failover: provides hot-standby
redundancy using standards-based VRRP (Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol)

• Port trunking: for higher switch-to-switch throughput and
link-level redundancy, with support for standards-based link
aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad); supports up to 80 trunks, each with
up to 8 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is
supported

Layer 3 routing

• Standards-based IP routing: provides routing of IP at media
speed; supports static routes, RIP, RIPv2, and OSPF with ECMP

• 100,000 IP address routing table: enables large network
deployments

Security

• Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists: feature-rich
ACL implementation (based on port, MAC, protocol, IP address,
TCP/UDP port number) to help ensure high levels of security and
ease of administration without impacting network performance

• VLAN support and tagging: support complete IEEE 802.1Q
(1,024 active VLANs across 4,096 VLAN IDs) and 180 routable
VLAN interfaces

• Secure Shell (SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted data for secure,
remote command-line interface (CLI) access over IP networks

• Switch management logon security: can require either
RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication for secure switch CLI logon

• Processor self-protection architecture: provides protection
against denial-of-service attacks

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic prioritization based on IEEE 802.1p and Diffserv
(TOS): allows real-time traffic classification into 11 traffic classes
mapped to 5 queues and up to 3 levels of RED drop precedence,
providing rich QoS capabilities

• Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based
on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), L3 protocol, TCP/UDP
port number, source port, and DiffServ

• Guaranteed minimum bandwidth: per-port, per-queue
guaranteed minimums allow traffic to receive the guaranteed
minimum bandwidth during times of congestion

Ease of use

• Dual bootable flash images: provide independent primary and
secondary OS files for backup while upgrading; multiple flash
images can be stored on flash for archival purposes

• Port mirroring: enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously
sent to a network analyzer for monitoring

• Hot-swappable modules: permit modules and mini-GBICs to be
added or swapped without interrupting the network

Layer 2 switching

• IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP v2/v3:
automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
