Overview

|
|
The HP ProCurve Switch 5400zl Series consists of the most advanced intelligent edge switches in the HP ProCurve Networking product line. The 5400zl series includes 6-slot and 12-slot chassis and associated zl modules and bundles. The foundation for all of these switches is a purpose-built, programmable 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 a variety of Gigabit interfaces, integrated PoE on all 10/100/1000Base-T ports, 10-GbE capability, and a choice of form factors, the 5400zl switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment, operation, and maintenance.
Features
|
|
|
| • |
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 v5: 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 |
| • |
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors a link between two switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if the cable is broken turning the bi-directional link into uni-directional; this prevents network problems such as loops |
| • |
Management simplicity: ProCurve-common networking features and CLI implementation (common across ProCurve zl and yl switches) |
| • |
IPv6: IPv6 host: the switches can be managed and deployed at the edge of IPv6 networks; Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6): provides transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6; supports connectivity for both protocols; MLD snooping: forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface; prevents IPv6 multicast traffic from flooding the network; IPv6 ACL/QoS: supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic. |
| • |
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet: provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras |
| • |
IEEE 802.3at Power Over Ethernet Plus: provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3 for PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as video IP phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, and advanced pan/zoom/tilt security cameras |
| • |
Pre-standard PoE support: detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices; see list of supported devices in the product FAQ at www.ProCurve.com |
| • |
High-density port connectivity: up to 12 interface module slots and up to 288 wire-speed 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled ports or 48 10-GbE ports per system |
| • |
High-speed/capacity architecture: 691.2 Gbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra- and inter-module switching with 480.3 million pps throughput on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs |
| • |
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
| • |
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (requires Premium License): 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 |
| • |
Server-to-switch distributed trunking: allows a server to connect to two switches with one logical trunk that consists of multiple physical connections; enables load-balancing and increases resiliency |
| • |
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 |
| • |
Optional redundant power supply (5400zl series): provides uninterrupted power and allows hot-swapping of the redundant power supplies when installed |
| • |
IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q (requires Premium License): increases the scalability of Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connects multiple LAN's on high-speed campus or metro network |
| • |
ProCurve switch meshing: dynamically load-balances across multiple active redundant links to increase available aggregate bandwidth |
| • |
VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard and 2,048 VLANs simultaneously |
| • |
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 |
| • |
UDP helper function: UDP broadcasts can be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and prevent server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP |
| • |
Loopback interface address: defines an address in RIP and OSPF that can always be reachable, improving diagnostic capability |
| • |
Static IP routing: provides manually configured routing; includes ECMP capability |
| • |
RIP: provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing |
| • |
OSPF (requires Premium License): includes host-based ECMP to provide link redundancy/scalable bandwidth and NSSA |
