Overview

The HP ProCurve 8200zl Switch Series offers high performance, scalability, and a wide range of features in a high-availability platform that dramatically reduces complexity and provides reduced cost of ownership. As part of a Unified Wired and Wireless Network infrastructure solution, the 8200zl series provides platform technology, system software, system management, application integration, wired and wireless integration, network security, and support that are common across the HP ProCurve ProVision family of modular and fixed-port switches. Together, they deliver an agile, cost-effective, high-availability network solution. With key technologies to provide solution longevity, the 8200zl switch series is built to deliver long-term investment protection without added complexity for network core, aggregation, and high-availability access layer deployments. It provides these capabilities while bringing to market the industry's first highly available switch with a lifetime warranty.

Features


Management
Remote intelligent mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote 8200zl/6600/6200yl/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.

ProCurve Unified Core-to-Edge Device/Network Management tools: ProCurve portfolio-common device-level tools (CLI, Web GUI, Menu) plus seamless integration into HP ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+)/Identity Driven Manager (IDM) network management deployments.


Connectivity
High-density port connectivity: 12 interface module slots, up to 288 wire-speed 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled ports or 48 10-GbE ports per system.

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.

Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gb ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services.

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.


Performance
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

Scalable system design: chassis architecture/backplane provides built-in performance capacity/headroom to support next-generation high-density/high-speed connectivity


Resiliency and high availability
Redundant management, fabric, and power: provide enhanced system availability and assured continuity of operations.

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.


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 LANs 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.
