Overview The HP E5400 zl Switch Series consists of advanced intelligent switches in the HP E-Series product-line. The E5400 zl series
Includes:: 6-slot & 12-slot chassis & associated zl modules & bundles. The foundation for all of these switches 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 E5400 zl switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, & scalability, as well as ease of deployment, operation, & maintenance. Features 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 E8200, E6200, E5400, or E3500 switch 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/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 ? HP's switch meshing: dynamically load-balances across multiple active redundant links to increase available aggregate bandwidth Layer 3 services ? User Datagram Protocol (UDP) helper function: allows UDP broadcasts to be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses & prevents server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP
