6 HP ProCurve 5400zl Series

The ProCurve Series 5400zl Switches include the 5406zl, 5412zl and their bundles, the 5406zxl-48G
and the 5412zl-96G. They are multi-port modular switches that provide Layer 3 routing features,
and that feature low latency for high-speed networking. This chapter presents the following
information relating to these switches:
• An overview of the HP ProCurve 5406zl (see
• An overview of the HP ProCurve 5412zl (see
Features of the HP ProCurve 5400zl Series include:
• 6 or 12 slots for installing any of the available Switch zl Modules. Supported Modules: As
of this printing, the supported zl modules include:
— 24-port 10/100/1000-T zl PoE Module (J8702A) -- which can provide Power over Ethernet
(PoE) power to 802.3af compliant (and some pre-standard) devices. For more information
on PoE power refer to the ProCurve PoE Planning and Implementation Guide. For more
information on the J8702A module refer to the ProCurve Switch zl Modules Installation
Guide.
— 20-port Gig-T and 4-port mini-GBIC/SFP zl PoE Module (J8705A)-- into which you can
install the supported mini-GBICs, the Gigabit-SX LC mini-GBIC (J4858B), the Gigabit-LX
LC mini-GBIC (J4859B), the Gigabit-LH LC mini-GBIC (J4860B), and the 1000Base-T
mini-GBIC (J8177A)
— 24-port mini-GBIC zl Module (8706A)-- into which you can install the supported
mini-GBICs, see above.
— 4-port 10 Gig-X2 zl Module (J8707A) -- into which you can install the supported X2 fiber
optic transceivers:

— 4-port 10 Gig-CX4 zl Module (J8708A)
• The modules can be installed in any order and in any combination and can be "hot swapped".
• The supported mini-GBICs can be hot swapped into the mini-GBIC zl Module.
• High performance 76.8 Gbps switching fabric delivering 48 Mpps throughput.
• Plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the network cables to active
network devices and your switched network is operational.
• Automatic learning of the network addresses in the switch's 16,000 address forwarding
table, with configurable address aging value.
• Full-duplex operation available on all ports.
• Easy management of the switch through several available interfaces:
— Web Browser Interface: An easy to use built-in graphical interface that can be accessed
from common web browsers.
— Console Interface: A full featured, easy to use, VT-standalone terminal interface for
out-of-band switch management, or for telnet access to the switch. The console includes
complete switch management through a command line interface (CLI) and a slightly
reduced feature set accessible through an intuitive menu interface.
— Supported by ProCurve Network Manager: An HP OpenView application that
accurately displays your switch on network maps and provides a graphical interface
for configuring and monitoring your switch.
• Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops.
