| >> Features and Benefits |
| >>Connectivity |
| Dual-personality functionality |
four 10/100/1000 ports or mini-GBIC slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH |
| Auto-MDIX |
automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports |
| >>Performance |
| 88 Gbps backplane with 64 million pps (ProCurve 3400cl-24G) and 136 Gbps backplane with 99.5 million pps (ProCurve 3400cl-48G) |
up to ten times the bandwidth for low-latency throughput |
| Selectable queuing configurations |
increase performance by selecting the queuing configuration that best meets the requirements of network applications |
| Jumbo frames |
on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services (up to 4 ports per module on Gigabit modules) |
| >>Resiliency and high availability |
| Router redundancy (XRRP) |
allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments |
| IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking |
support up to 25 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk |
| IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree |
provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees |
| IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol |
: increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links |
| Optional redundant power supply |
provides uninterrupted power (provided by ProCurve 600 RPS/EPS) |
| >>Layer 2 switching |
| ProCurve switch meshing |
dynamically load-balances across multiple active redundant links to increase available aggregate bandwidth |
| VLAN support and tagging |
supports the IEEE 802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously |
| GARP VLAN Registration Protocol |
allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs |
| IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs |
isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs |
| >>Layer 3 routing |
| Layer 3 IP routing |
provides routing of IP at media speed; supports static routes, RIP, RIPv2, and OSPF |
| >>Security |
| Access control lists (ACLs) |
provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number |
| Dynamic ARP protection |
blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data |
| Port security |
allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator |
| 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 (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 |
| IEEE 802.1X |
industry-standard way of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server |
| MAC address lockout |
prevents configured particular MAC addresses from connecting to the network |
| Web-based authentication |
similar to IEEE 802.1X, provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant |
| Secure FTP |
allows secure file transfer to/from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of switch configuration file |
| Secure management access |
all access methods--CLI, GUI, or MIB--are securely encrypted through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3 |
| >>Convergence |
| IP multicast routing (PIM Dense) |
routes IP multicast traffic using the PIM Dense routing protocol |
| IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP |
automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic |
| >>Quality of Service (QoS) |
| Rate limiting |
per-port ingress enforced maximums |
| Layer 4 prioritization |
enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers |
| Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) |
allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels mapped to 4 queues |
| 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 |
| >>Manageability |
| sFlow (RFC 3176) |
wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring |
| RMON, XRMON, and SMON |
provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events |
| Find-Fix-and-Inform |
finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs administrator |
| Dual flash images |
provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading |
| Friendly port names |
allow assignment of descriptive names to ports |
| 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 |
| >>Industry-leading warranty |
| Lifetime warranty |
for as long as you own the product, with next-business-day advance replacement (available in most countries) |
