Overview The HP 5400 zl Switch Series consists of advanced intelligent switches in the HP modular chassis product line, which
Includes:: 6-slot & 12-slot chassis & associated zl modules & bundles. The foundation for the switch series is a purpose-built, programmable Pro Vision ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as Quality of Service (Qo S) & security, to be implemented in a scalable yet granular fashion. With 10/100, Gigabit Ethernet, & 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces; choice of Po E+ & non-Po E; integrated Layer 3 features; & HP Alliance One solutions, the 5400 zl switch series offers excellent investment protection, flexibility, & scalability, as well as ease of deployment, operation, & maintenance. Features Software-defined networking • Open Flow: is a key technology that enables software-defined networking by allowing the separation of data (packet forwarding) & control (routing decision) paths Quality of Service (Qo S) • Advanced classifier-based Qo S: classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, & 4 information; applies Qo S policies such as setting priority level & rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis Management • Remote intelligent mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote HP 8200 zl, 6600, 6200 yl, 5400 zl, or 3500 Switch located anywhere on the network Connectivity • IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet: lowers power consumption in periods of low link usage (supported on v 2 zl 10/100/1000 & 10/100 modules) 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 Resiliency & high availability • Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol: allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments Layer 2 switching • VLAN support & tagging: supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard & 2, 048 VLANs simultaneously
