HP E4200G Switch Series

Overview:

HP E4200G Switch Series are entry-level Gigabit Ethernet LAN switches with enterprise-class quality of service (QoS), security, and management features, delivering high value for network administrators looking for an economical edge device. Dual-personality ports allow flexibility, including the ability to add 10 Gigabit Ethernet capability. Setting them apart from lower-end devices, the series switches support an industry-standard command-line interface, Web-based administration, and SNMP management.

• Entry-level switching, enterprise-class features
• Affordable price
• Out-of-the-box plug-and-play simplicity
• Access control lists for improved security
• Energy efficient; quiet, fan-free design

Features and Benefits:

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) — allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
• Rate limiting — sets per-port ingress enforced maximums and per-port, per-queue guaranteed minimums
• 802.1p/Q VLAN tagging — delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic; supports IEEE 802.1Q

Management

• Remote configuration and management — is available through a secure Web browser or a command-line interface (CLI)
• Management VLAN — segments traffic to and from management interfaces, including CLI/telnet, a Web browser interface, and SNMP
• RADIUS accounting support — separates RADIUS accounting server support per SSID; provides detailed session, usage, and billing information for each client activity
• SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 — facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices
• 3Com-heritage Comware V3 Operating System — CLI and Web user interface in common with HP E4XXX and E55XX series switches
• Port mirroring — enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) — synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps consistent timekeeping among all clock-dependent devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time
• Enterprise network management — is supported by the Web-based, enterprise-class HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) network management platform and Wireless Service Management (WSM), which effectively integrate traditionally disparate management tools into one easy-to-use interface

Connectivity

• Auto-MDIX — automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports
• Dual-personality functionality — includes four 10/100/1000 ports or SFP slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, -LH, or 100-FX
• Jumbo packet support — supports up to 9216-byte frame size to improve performance of large data transfers
• Optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports — add 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections for uplinks or high-bandwidth server connections; flexibly support XENPAK or XFP-style 10 Gigabit transceivers

Manageability

• RMON (remote monitoring) — provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
• Full-featured console — provides complete control of the switch with a familiar command-line interface (CLI)
• Web interface — allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser on the network
• Software updates — free downloads from the Web
• Virtual stacking capability — single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 255 Comware-based 3Com legacy devices, including HP E4XXX and E55XX series switches

Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging — support up to 64 port-based VLANs and dynamic configuration of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups
• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) — allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
• IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP — automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
• VLANs — support up to 4096 port or IEEE 802.1Q-based VLANs

Layer 3 routing

• Static IPv4 routing — provides simple, manually configured IPv4 routing

• Access control lists (ACLs) — provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number
• RADIUS/TACACS+ — eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
• IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS network logins — control port-based access for authentication and accountability
• Secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) — allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of switch configuration file

Convergence

• Automated voice VLAN assignment — recognizes IP phones and automatically assigns voice traffic to a dedicated VLAN for IP phones

Warranty and support

• 1-year warranty — with advance replacement and 10-calendar-day delivery (available in most countries)
• Electronic and telephone support — limited electronic and telephone support is available from HP; refer to www.hp.com/networking/warranty for details on the support provided and the period during which support is available
• Software releases — refer to www.hp.com/networking/warranty for details on the software releases provided and the period during which software releases are available for your product(s)
