Security & Quality of Service The HP 5400 zl Switch Series
Includes:: security & quality of services features so your network can more securely deliver the performance your users require. Flexible authentication options include Local MAC Authentication, 802.1X, MAC & Web Authentication, for enhanced security & policy-driven application authentication. Advanced distributed denial of service (DDOS) protection, such as DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, & ARP Protection, & flexible traffic controls, such as policy-based routing, Qo S, & ACLs, to manage end-to-end application priorities. Powerful multilevel-access security controls, such as varying security management login, RADIUS/TACACS+, & SSH to enhance security & control change management access. Defend the edge of your IPv 6 network with DHCPv 6 Protection & Dynamic IPv 6 Lockdown. Single View of the Network The HP 5400 zl Switch Series can be seamlessly managed with HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Software Platform to provide end-to-end network transparency with consistent network experience through comprehensive configuration, compliance & policy management. RMON, XRMON & s Flow provide advanced monitoring & reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms & events. Performance High-speed, high-capacity architecture: 1 Tbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra-module & inter-module switching with 585.6 million pps throughput on the purpose-built Pro Vision ASICs Selectable queue configurations: allows for increased performance by selecting the number of queues & associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of the network applications Resiliency & high availability Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol: 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 & IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) & HP port trunking: support up to 144 trunks, each with up to eight links (ports) per trunk Distributed trunking: enables loop-free & redundant network topology without using Spanning Tree Protocol; allows a server or switch to connect to two switches using one logical trunk for redundancy & load sharing Optional redundant power supply (HP 5400 series): provides uninterrupted power & allows hot-swapping of the redundant power supplies when installed Layer 2 switching VLAN support & tagging: supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard & 2, 048 VLANs simultaneously IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs: isolate select non-IPv 4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning & dynamic assignment of VLANs IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q: increases the scalability of an Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connects multiple LANs on a high-speed campus or metro network MAC-based VLAN: provides granular control & security; uses RADIUS to map a MAC address/user to specific VLANs (requires v 2 modules)
