QuickSpecs
Overview
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and HP port trunking: support up to 24 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports)
per trunk
Optional redundant power supply: supplies backup power in case of power failure
Supply provides only RPS
Manageability
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors a link between two switches and blocks the ports on both ends of the link if
the link goes down at any point between the two devices
Command authorization: leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login;
also provides an audit trail
Dual flash images: provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
Multiple configuration files: allow multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image
Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
Find-Fix-Inform: finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs administrator
Software updates: free downloads from the Web
Troubleshooting: ingress and egress port monitoring enable network problem solving
Layer 2 switching
VLAN support and tagging: supports IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
Jumbo packet support: supports up to 9220-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers
IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs: isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs
Layer 3 routing
Static IP routing: provides manually configured routing; includes ECMP capability
Routing Information Protocol (RIP): provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing
Security
Multiple user authentication methods:
IEEE 802.1X: is an industry-standard method of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in
conjunction with a RADIUS server
Web-based authentication: is similar to IEEE 802.1X and provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients
that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
MAC-based authentication: authenticates the client with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
Authentication flexibility:
Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port: provides authentication of up to eight IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents a user
from "piggybacking" on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication
Concurrent IEEE 802.1X and Web or MAC authentication schemes per port: switch port will accept any IEEE 802.1X and
either Web or MAC authentications
Access control lists (ACLs): provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination
TCP/UDP port number
Identity-driven ACL: enables implementation of a highly granular and flexible access security policy and VLAN assignment
specific to each authenticated network user
Dynamic ARP protection: blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data
DHCP protection: blocks DHCP packets from unauthorized DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks
