HP ProCurve Switch 8100fl Series
Features and benefits
Connectivity
• 10-GbE optical/copper media flexibility: offers SR/LR/ER
optical and CX4 copper connectivity in a single 2-port X2 Interface
Module
Performance
• Large switching capacity: provides up to 320 Gbps bandwidth
• Wire-speed 100/1000 design: assures non-blocking packet
forwarding on all Gigabit ports
• Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow
high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services
(up to four ports per module on Gigabit modules)
• Distributed processing architecture: results in better system
utilization and performance
Resiliency and high availability
• Modular, distributed software architecture: individual
restartable processes yield enhanced overall system availability
and supportability
• Optional redundancy:
- Redundant switch fabric: provides rapid (‹ 0.2 sec.), automatic
active-to-standby module failover
- Redundant management: provides automatic failover from the
active management module to the standby management module
- Redundant power supply: provides uninterrupted power
• Multiple Spanning Trees (IEEE 802.1s): provides efficient high
link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple
coincident spanning trees; includes support of Spanning Tree
Protocol (IEEE 802.1D) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE
802.1w)
• Automatic routing switch failover: provides hot-standby
redundancy using standards-based VRRP (Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol)
• Port trunking: for higher switch-to-switch throughput and
link-level redundancy, with support for standards-based link
aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad); supports up to 80 trunks, each with
up to 8 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is
supported
• Hot-swappable modules: permit modules and mini-GBICs to be
added or swapped without interrupting the network
Layer 2 switching
• IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP v2/v3:
automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
Layer 3 routing
• Standards-based IP routing: provides routing of IP at media
speed; supports static routes, RIP, RIPv2, and OSPF with ECMP
• 100,000 IP address routing table: enables large network
deployments
Security
• Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists: feature-rich
ACL implementation (based on port, MAC, protocol, IP address,
TCP/UDP port number) to help ensure high levels of security and
ease of administration without impacting network performance
• VLAN support and tagging: support complete IEEE 802.1Q
(1,024 active VLANs across 4,096 VLAN IDs) and 180 routable
VLAN interfaces
• Secure Shell (SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted data for secure,
remote command-line interface (CLI) access over IP networks
• Switch management logon security: can require either
RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication for secure switch CLI logon
• Processor self-protection architecture: provides protection
against denial-of-service attacks
Quality of Service (QoS)
• Traffic prioritization based on IEEE 802.1p and Diffserv
(TOS): allows real-time traffic classification into 11 traffic classes
mapped to 5 queues and up to 3 levels of RED drop precedence,
providing rich QoS capabilities
• Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based
on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), L3 protocol, TCP/UDP
port number, source port, and DiffServ
• Guaranteed minimum bandwidth: per-port, per-queue
guaranteed minimums allow traffic to receive the guaranteed
minimum bandwidth during times of congestion
Ease of use
• Dual bootable flash images: provide independent primary and
secondary OS files for backup while upgrading; multiple flash
images can be stored on flash for archival purposes
• Port mirroring: enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously
sent to a network analyzer for monitoring
