Overview
|
|
|
The HP 5400 zl Switch Series consists of advanced intelligent switches in the HP modular chassis product line which 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 10/100, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, choice of PoE+ and non-PoE, integrated Layer 3 features, and HP AllianceONE solutions, the 5400 zl switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment, operation, and maintenance.
Features
|
|
|
| • |
Advanced classifier-based QoS: classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis |
| • |
Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers |
| • |
Traffic prioritization: allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues |
| • |
Bandwidth shaping: Port-based rate limiting: provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced maximum bandwidth. Classifier-based rate limiting: uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce maximum bandwidth for ingress traffic on each port. Guaranteed minimum: provides per-port, per-queue egress-based guaranteed minimum bandwidth. |
| • |
Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ |
| • |
Remote intelligent mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote 8200, 6200, 5400, or 3500 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 provides 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 bidirectional link into a unidirectional one; this prevents network problems such as loops |
| • |
Management simplicity: includes common software features and CLI implementation across all ProVision-based switches (including the zl and yl switches) |
| • |
IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet: Lowers power consumption in periods of low link usage (supported on v2 zl 10/100/1000 and 10/100 modules) |
| • |
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE): 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 |
| • |
Prestandard PoE support: detects and provides power to prestandard PoE devices; see list of supported devices in the product FAQ at www.hp.com/networking |
| • |
High-density port connectivity: up to 12 interface module slots and up to 288 wire-speed 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled ports or 96 10-GbE ports per system |
| • |
High-speed/capacity architecture: 1 Tbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra-module and inter-module switching with 585.6 million pps throughput on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs |
| • |
Selectable queue configurations: allow you to 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: 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 HP port trunking: support up to 60 trunks, each with up to eight links (ports) per trunk |
| • |
Distributed trunking: enables loop-free and redundant network topology without using Spanning Tree Protocol; allows a server or switch to connect to two switches using one logical trunk for redundancy and load sharing |
| • |
Optional redundant power supply (HP 5400 series): provides uninterrupted power and allows hot-swapping of the redundant power supplies when installed |
| • |
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 |
| • |
IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q: increases the scalability of an Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connects multiple LANs on a high-speed campus or metro network |
| • |
MAC-based VLAN: provides granular control and security; uses RADIUS to map a MAC address/user to specific VLANs (requires v2 modules) |
| • |
User Datagram Protocol helper function: allows User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts to be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and prevents server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP |
| • |
Loopback interface address: defines an address in Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and OSPF that can always be reachable, improving diagnostic capability |
| • |
Route maps: provide more control during route redistribution; allow filtering and altering of route metrics |
