Overview
Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), and Source-Specific Mode (PIM-SSM)
Multicast Border Gateway Protocol (MBGP): allows multicast traffic to be forwarded across BGP networks and kept separate
from unicast traffic
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol: is used by IP hosts to establish and maintain multicast groups; supports v1 and v2
and utilizes Any-Source Multicast (ASM) or Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) to manage IPv6 multicast networks
Multicast VLAN: allows multiple VLANs to receive the same IPv4 or IPv6 multicast traffic, reducing network bandwidth demand
by eliminating multiple streams to each VLAN
Voice VLAN: automatically assigns VLAN and priority for IP phones, simplifying network configuration and maintenance
Integration
Open Application Architecture (OAA)
provides high-performance application-specific modules fully integrated with the switching architecture; uses the chassis high-
speed backplane to access network-related data; increases performance, reduces costs, and simplifies network management
Load-balancing module
local and global server load-balancing module improves traffic distribution using powerful scheduling algorithms, including
Layer 4 to 7 services; monitors the health status of servers and firewalls
NetStream module: provides traffic analysis and statistics capture to allow network administrators to rapidly identify network
anomalies and security threats, as well as capacity planning information; supports NetFlow v5 and v9
Unified wired-WLAN module
supports up to 1,024 access points per module; is for use with selected HP APs (see the HP 10500/7500 20G Unified Wired-WLAN
Module data sheet for specifics); provides N+1, N+N, and 1+1 redundancy offering subsecond failover; provides IPv4/IPv6 and
end-to-end QoS; includes flexible forwarding modes, as well as Wi-Fi Clear Connect Radio Frequency (RF) optimization and
integrated IDS
VPN 20 Gbps firewall module
provides enhanced stateful packet inspection and filtering; supports flexible security zones and virtual firewall containment;
advanced VPN services with 3DES and AES encryption at high performance and low latency; Web content filtering; application
prioritization and optimization
Additional information
Green initiative support
provides support for RoHS and WEEE regulations
Low power consumption
is rated among the lowest in power consumption in the industry by Miercom independent tests
Unified HP Comware operating system with modular architecture
all switching, routing, and security platforms leverage the Comware OS, a common unified modular operating system; provides
an easy-to-enhance-and-extend feature set without wholesale changes
OPEX savings
are delivered through the use of a common operating system that simplifies and streamlines deployment, management, and
training, thereby cutting costs as well as reducing the chance for human errors associated with having to manage multiple
operating systems across different platforms and network layers
