ProCurve Networking Switch 6400cl Series
Multilayer, high port density switches providing scalable, reliable network infrastructures

ProCurve Switch 6400cl series Overview:

• Distribution layer
• Layer 2 - Layer 4 feature set
• High performance
• Low-cost 10-GbE connectivity

Features:
 

Performance:

• 160 Gbps backplane with 119 mpps: unprecedented 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

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 4 trunks, each with up to 4 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is supported
• 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
• 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 and RADIUS network login: control port-based access for authentication and accountability
• Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator
• 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 access to manage the 6400cl series: all access methods--CLI, GUI, or MIB--are securely encrypted through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3

Convergence:

• 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 ports
• 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 and XRMON: 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 3400cl series

Industry-leading warranty:

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