HP E4200 vl Switch Series

Overview:

The HP E4200 vl Switch Series consists of modular chassis that provide a flexible, cost-effective LAN solution as an alternative to stackables. These switches offer a proven chassis form factor with high quality and reliability in 10/100, 10/100/1000, and 10-Gigabit scalable solutions that integrate easily into any network.

• Access layer
• Layer 2 plus Static IP routing
• Scalable 10/100/1000 connectivity
• 10-GbE uplinks

HP E4200 vl Switch Series Models:

E4204 vl Switch Chassis (J8770A)	E4202-72 vl Switch (J8772B)
E4204-44G-4SFP vl Switch (J9064A)	E4208 vl Switch Chassis (J8773A)
E4208-96 vl Switch (J8775B)	E4208-68G-4SFP vl Switch (J9030A)

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
• Class of service (CoS) — sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ
• Layer 4 prioritization — enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers

Management

• Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD) — monitors cable between two switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if the cable is broken, turning the bi-directional link into uni-directional; this prevents network problems such as loops

Connectivity

• Auto-MDIX — automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports

Performance

• Architecture — up to 76.8 Gbps crossbar switching fabric provides wire-speed intra- and inter-module switching with up to 48 million pps throughput built on HP custom-designed ASIC technology

Resiliency and high availability

• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and HP port trunking — support up to 60 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk
• 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
• Hot-swappable modules — permit modules and mini-GBICs to be added or swapped without interrupting the network
• Optional redundant power supply — provides uninterrupted power; allows hot-swapping of one of the two supplies when installed

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
• Dual flash images — provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
• Multiple configuration files — allows a configuration file to be stored to flash image
• Friendly port names — allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
• Stacking capability — single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches, including the HP E2500 Series, E2510 Series, E2600 Series, E2800 Series, E2810 Series, E2900 Series, E3400 cl Series, E3500 yl Series, E4200 vl Series, E6108, E6200 yl, and E6400 cl Series Switches
• Find-Fix-Inform — finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs administrator
• Software updates — free downloads from the Web
• Troubleshooting — ingress and egress port monitoring enable network problem solving

Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging — supports IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously
• GARP 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

• Multiple user authentication methods —
  • IEEE 802.1X — industry-standard method of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server
  • Web-based authentication — similar to IEEE 802.1X, it provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
  • MAC-based authentication — client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
• Authentication flexibility —
  • Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port — provides authentication of up to eight IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents user "piggybacking" on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication
• Dynamic ARP protection — blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data
• Port security — allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator
• MAC address lockout — prevents particular configured MAC addresses from connecting to the network
• 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
• RADIUS/TACACS+ — eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
• Source-port filtering — allows only specified ports to communicate with each other
• 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
• Switch management logon security — can require either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication for secure switch CLI logon
• Custom banner — displays security policy when users log in to the switch
• STP BPDU port protection — blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks

Convergence

• IP multicast (data-driven IGMPv3) — automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) — is an automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
• LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery) — is a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones
