Overview

The HP ProCurve Switch 3500 Series consists of the most advanced intelligent edge switches in the HP ProCurve Networking product line. The 3500 series includes 24-port and 48-port stackables. The foundation for all 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 and 10/100 interfaces, integrated PoE and Non-PoE options,10-GbE capability on Gigabit switches, the 3500 switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment, operation, and maintenance.

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 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 cable 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 8200zl/6600/6200yl/5400zl/3500 switches)

Connectivity
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; IPv6 ready: the switch hardware can support IPv6 routing, tunneling, and security.
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
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
Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services
Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports

Performance
High-speed/capacity architecture: up to 153.6 Gbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra- and inter- module switching with up to 111.5 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
Sparing simplicity: ProCurve zl-common accessories (interface modules, power supplies)

Layer 2 switching
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

Layer 3 services
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

Layer 3 routing
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
