ProCurve Networking Switch 6108 Series
Multilayer, high port density switches providing scalable, reliable network infrastructures

ProCurve Switch 6108 series Overview:

The HP ProCurve Switch 6108 is a low-cost, stackable, multi-layer managed 8-port switch with 6 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 ports and 2 dual-personality ports for 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC connectivity. With Layer 3 basic IP routing, an industry-leading lifetime warranty, and free end-user telephone and e-mail support, the ProCurve 6108 is ideal for access-tier aggregation, with two optional Gigabit fiber uplinks to connect at distances up to 70 km.

• Distribution layer aggregation
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 lite feature set
• Low-cost 10/100/1000 connectivity
• Gigabit fiber uplinks

ProCurve Switch 6108 series Features:
 

Connectivity:

• Dual-personality functionality: two 10/100/1000 ports or mini-GBIC slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH

Performance:

• 16 Gbps backplane: non-blocking architecture for wire-speed throughput

Resiliency and high availability:

• 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol : increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links
• 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 6 trunks, each with up to 4 links (ports) per trunk

Manageability:

• RMON: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
• Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches, including the ProCurve 2500 series, 2600 series, 2800 series, 3400cl series, 6108, 6400cl series, and 6108 series
• Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports
• Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports

Layer 2 switching:

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

Layer 3 routing:

• Basic IP routing: enables automatic routing to the connected VLANs and up to 16 static routes—including one default route—in IP networks

Security:

• 802.1X and RADIUS network login: control port-based access for authentication and accountability
• Port security: prevents unauthorized access using MAC address lockdown
• RADIUS/TACACS+: eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
• Secure Shell (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 access to manage the ProCurve Switch 6108: all access methods--CLI, GUI, or MIB--are securely encrypted through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3

Quality of Service (QoS):

• Traffic prioritization (802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels mapped to 4 queues

Industry-leading warranty:

• Lifetime warranty: for as long as you own the product, with next-business-day advance replacement (available in most countries)
