• RMON, XRMON, and sFlow: 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
• Command authorization: leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail
• Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
• Dual flash images: provides independent primary and secondary OS files for backup while upgrading
• Multiple configuration files: multiple config files can be stored to the flash image
• Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors a link between two switches and blocks the ports on both ends of the link if the link goes down at any point between the two devices
• Management simplicity: ProCurve-common networking features and CLI implementation (common across ProCurve zl and yl switches)

Connectivity:

• Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services
• IPv6:NEW!
  • IPv6 Host the switches can be managed and deployed at the edge of IPv6 networks
  • Dual Stack (IPv4/IPv6) provides transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6; supports connectivity for both protocols
  • MLD Snooping forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface; prevents IPv6 multicast traffic from flooding the network
  • IPv6 ready the switch hardware can support IPv6 QoS, ACL, routing, tunneling, and security; these features will be available when enabled via software update in follow-on releases

Performance:

• Architecture: 115 Gbps backplane speed with up to 36 million pps throughput on purpose-built ProVision ASIC
• Selectable queue configurations: increase performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of your network applications

Resiliency and high availability:

• Router redundancy: VRRP allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments
• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees; encompasses IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 36 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is supported

Layer 2 switching:

• IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q: increases the scalability of Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connects multiple LANs on high-speed campus or metro network NEW!
• ProCurve switch meshing: dynamically load-balances across multiple active redundant links to increase available aggregate bandwidth
• VLAN support and tagging: supports complete IEEE 802.1Q standard and 2,048 VLANs simultaneously
• IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs: isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs
• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

Layer 3 services:

• UDP helper function: UDP broadcasts can be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and prevent server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP
• Loopback interface address: defines an address in RIP and OSPF that can always be reachable, improving diagnostic capability

Layer 3 routing:

• Static IP routing: provides manually configured routing
• RIP: provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing at media speed
• OSPF: includes host-based ECMP to provide link redundancy/scalable bandwidth and NSSA

Security:

• Switch CPU protection: provides automatic protection against malicious network traffic trying to shut down the switch
• Virus throttling: detects traffic patterns typical of WORM-type viruses and either throttles or entirely prevents the ability of the virus to spread across the routed VLANs without requiring external appliances
• ICMP throttling: defeats ICMP denial-of-service attacks by enabling any switch port to automatically throttle ICMP traffic
• Multiple user authentication methods:
  • IEEE 802.1X industry-standard way of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server
  • Web-based authentication authenticates from Web browser for clients that do not support 802.1X supplicant; customized remediation can be processed on an external Web server
  • MAC-based authentication client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on client's MAC address
     
• Authentication flexibility:
  • Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port provides authentication of multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents user "piggybacking" on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication
  • Concurrent IEEE 802.1X and Web or MAC authentication schemes per port switch port will accept any of IEEE 802.1X and either Web or MAC authentications
     
• Access control lists (ACLs): provide filtering based on the IP field, source/destination IP address/subnet, and source/destination TCP/UDP port number on a per-VLAN or per-port basis
• Identity-driven ACL: enables implementation of a highly granular and flexible access security policy specific to each authenticated network user
• DHCP protection: blocks DHCP packets from unauthorized DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks
• BPDU port protection: blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks
• Dynamic IP lockdown: works with DHCP protection to block traffic from unauthorized host, preventing IP source address spoofing
• Dynamic ARP protection: blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data
• Detection of malicious attacks: monitors 10 types of network traffic and sends a warning when an anomaly that potentially can be caused by malicious attacks is detected
• Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator
