Overview

The HP ProCurve Switch 6200yl-24G-mGBIC is an advanced Layer 3 stackable in 1U height. It has 24 mini-GBIC slots and an expansion slot for an optional 4-port 10-GbE module. Designed to be deployed as an aggregator of traffic from the edge to the core of the network, this switch supports a variety of Gigabit mini-GBICs, such as SX, LX, LH, and 1000Base-T. The foundation for this switch is a purpose-built ProVision ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and security, to be implemented in a scalable yet granular fashion. With its high-performance architecture, 10-GbE capability, and programmable ASIC, this switch offers excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability.

Features


Management
Remote intelligent mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote 8200zl/6200yl/5400zl/3500yl switch anywhere on the network
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events.
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications.
Command authorization: leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail
Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports.

Connectivity
Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services
IPv6 ready: switch hardware is capable of supporting IPv6 host, routing, and filtering with the ProVision ASIC; IPv6 operation and deployment will be available when enabled via a software update at a later date

Performance
Architecture: 115 Gbps backplane speed with up to 36 million pps throughput on purpose-built ProVision ASIC
Selectable queue configurations: increase performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of your network applications.

Resiliency and high availability
Router redundancy: VRRP allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees; encompasses IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol.
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 60 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is supported
IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs: isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

Layer 3 services
Static IP routing: provides manually configured routing
RIP: provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing at media speed
OSPF: includes host-based ECMP to provide link redundancy/scalable bandwidth and NSSA

Security
Switch CPU protection: provides automatic protection against malicious network traffic trying to shut down the switch
Virus throttling: detects traffic patterns typical of WORM-type viruses and either throttles or entirely prevents the ability of the virus to spread across the routed VLANs without requiring external appliances
ICMP throttling: defeats ICMP denial-of-service attacks by enabling any switch port to automatically throttle ICMP traffic
Multiple user authentication methods: IEEE 802.1X: industry-standard method of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server; Web-based authentication: authenticates from Web browser for clients that do not support IEEE 802.1X supplicant; customized remediation can be processed on an external Web server; MAC-based authentication: client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on client's MAC address
Authentication flexibility: Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port: provides authentication of multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents user "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 of IEEE 802.1X and either Web or MAC authentications

Convergence
IP multicast routing: includes PIM Sparse and Dense modes to route IP multicast traffic
IP multicast snooping (data-driven IGMP): automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones.
