Features:
 

Performance

• 9.6 Gbps switch fabric integrated on-chip: high-performance switch design with a non-blocking architecture

Resiliency and high availability

• 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support a single trunk with up to 4 links (ports)
• Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D): provides redundant links while preventing network loops
• 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol : increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links

Layer 2 switching:

• VLAN support and tagging: support up to 30 port-based VLANs and dynamic configuration of 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups
• Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

Security:

• Port security: prevents unauthorized access using MAC address lockdown
• 802.1X and RADIUS network login: control port-based access for authentication and accountability
• RADIUS/TACACS+: eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server

Quality of Service (QoS)

• IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic

Manageability

• RMON and XRMON: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
• 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 ports
• Web interface: allows you to configure the switch from any Web browser on the network

Convergence

• IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP: automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
• LLDP Lite: allows for discovery and network topology mapping via HP ProCurve Manager New!
