IEEE 802.1ad QinQ VLANs
Jumbo packet support
GVRP VLAN Registration Protocol
Port Aggregation
Spanning Tree Protocol, PVST, MSTP, RSTP, STP Root Guard
Smart Link fast uplink failure recovery
IP Multicast Snooping and data-driven IGMP
Policy Based Routing
IPv4 routing protocols - static routes, RIP, OSPF and BGP
IPv6 routing protocols - static routes, RIPng, OSPFv3 and BGP+
IPv6 tunneling
IP Multicast - PIM-SSM, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, IGMP for IPv4 and IPv6
Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP)
Policy-based routing
DHCP and DHCPv6 client
VRRP
Advanced classifier-based QoS - classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3 and
4 information; applies QoS policies such as priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port
or per-VLAN basis
Traffic policing - supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
Powerful QoS feature - creates traffic classes based on access control lists (ACL), IEEE 802.1p
precedence, IP, DSCP or Type of Service (ToS) precedence; supports filter, redirect, mirror or remark;
supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR),
weighted fair queuing (WFQ), and weighted random early discard (WRED)
Storm restraint - allows limitation of broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic rate to cut down
on unwanted broadcast traffic on the network
Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) - Creates virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two or more switches
perform as a single Layer 2 switch and Layer 3 router; Switches do not have to be co-located and can
be part of a disaster recovery system; Servers or switches can be attached using standard LACP for
automatic load balancing and high availability; Simplifies network operation by eliminating Spanning
Tree, ECMP and VRRP
Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) - Monitors Link connectivity and shuts down ports at both
ends if unidirectional traffic is detected
Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP) - Connects multiple switches in a high-performance ring using
standard Ethernet technology; traffic can be rerouted around the ring in less than 50 ms upon failure
Smart Link - Allows 50 ms failover between links
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
OAM (802.3ah) - Detects data link layer problems in the "last mile"; monitors link status between two
devices
CFD (802.1ag) - Connectivity Fault Detection (CFD) provides L2 link OAM mechanism used for link
connectivity detection and fault location
Mirroring - Port mirroring enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for
monitoring; Flow-based mirroring
FIPS 140-2
HPE 6125G/XG Ethernet Blade Switch
