Switch Features
The features of the Series 6400cl Switch devices include:
1-10
The Switch 6400cl-6XG and Switch 6410cl-6XG have respectively, six fixed
copper or six flexible media X2 transceiver slots, to support 10-GbE
connectivity to other switch boxes, to a 10-GbE concentrator or to any
Ethernet compatible uplink.
One slot (optional cl module slot) is provided in the back of the device to
support a series of transceivers to provide box connectivity to other
switch boxes, to a 10-GbE concentrator or to any Ethernet compatible
uplink.
One auxiliary port is provided.
The Series 6400cl Switch devices can be connected to a ProCurve
RPS/EPS (J8168A) and receive full redundant power if the internal power
supply in the switch fails. The RPS/EPS unit will immediately provide all
the power necessary to keep the switch running.
Plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the
network cables to active network devices and your switched network is
operational.
Easy management of the switch through several available interfaces:
• console interface—a full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal
interface that is especially good for out-of-band switch management
or for Telnet access to the switch.
• web browser interface—an easy to use built-in graphical interface
that can be accessed from common web browsers.
• ProCurve Manager—an SNMP-based, graphical network manage-
ment tool that you can use to manage your entire network. This
product is included with your new switch.
Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops.
Support for IEEE 802.1Q-compatible VLANs so you can divide the
attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.
Support for many advanced features to enhance network performance—
for a description, see the Management and Configuration Guide, which
is on the Documentation CD-ROM that is included with your switch.
