Overview
|
|
|
The HP 9500 Switch Series is a family of modular switches that form a next-generation data center/large campus core switching platform. With unprecedented levels of networking performance, industry-leading availability, and flexible and efficient deployment options, these switches enable new services while driving down the cost of network operations. The 9500 series switches can provide more than 1.4 TB of high-performance switching capacity, aggregate up to 192 10-GbE or 576 GbE ports, and offer a future-proof architecture that enables customers to support emerging enterprise core or data center requirements.
Features
|
|
|
| • |
IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic |
| • |
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 |
| • |
Virtual Output Queuing (VOQ) architecture: reduces complexity and increases efficiency and cost-effectiveness by eliminating head-of-line blocking issues within the queuing system |
| • |
Bandwidth shaping: Port-based rate limiting: provides per-port ingress/egress enforced maximum bandwidth. Classifier-based rate limiting: uses access control list (ACL) to enforce maximum bandwidth for ingress/egress traffic on each port. |
| • |
Traffic policing: supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate |
| • |
Stateful firewall: enforces firewall policies to control traffic and filter access to network services; maintains session information for every connection passing through it, enabling the firewall to control packets based on existing sessions |
| • |
Zone-based access policies: logically groups virtual LANs (VLANs) into zones that share common security policies; allows both unicast and multicast policy settings by zones instead of by individual VLANs |
| • |
Application-level gateway (ALG): deep packet inspection in the firewall discovers the IP address and service port information embedded in the application data; the firewall then dynamically opens appropriate connections for specific applications |
| • |
NAT/PAT: choice of dynamic or static network address translation (NAT) preserves a network's IP address pool or conceals the private address of network resources, such as Web servers, which are made accessible to users of a guest or public wireless LAN |
Virtual private network (VPN)
| • |
IPSec: provides secure tunneling over an untrusted network such as the Internet or a wireless network; offers data confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity between two endpoints of the network |
| • |
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP): an industry standard-based traffic encapsulation mechanism supported by many common operating systems such as Windows® XP and Windows Vista®; will tunnel the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) traffic over the IP and non-IP networks; may use the IP/UDP transport mechanism in IP networks |
| • |
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE): can be used to transport Layer 2 connectivity over a Layer 3 path in a secured way; enables the segregation of traffic from site to site |
| • |
Manual or automatic Internet Key Exchange (IKE): provides both manual or automatic key exchange required for the algorithms used in encryption or authentication; auto-IKE allows automated management of the public key exchange, providing the highest levels of encryption |
| • |
Management interface control: provides management access through a modem port and terminal interface, as well as in-band and out-of-band Ethernet ports; provides access through terminal interface, telnet, or Secure Shell (SSH) |
| • |
Industry-standard CLI with a hierarchical structure: reduces training time and expenses, and increases productivity in multivendor installations |
| • |
Management security: multiple privilege levels with password protection restrict access to critical configuration commands; ACLs provide telnet and SNMP access; local and remote syslog capabilities allow logging of all access |
| • |
SNMPv1, v2, and v3: provide complete support of SNMP; provide full support of industry-standard Management Information Base (MIB) plus private extensions; SNMPv3 supports increased security using encryption |
| • |
sFlow (RFC 3176): provides scalable ASIC-based wire-speed network monitoring and accounting with no impact on network performance; this allows network operators to gather a variety of sophisticated network statistics and information for capacity planning and real-time network monitoring purposes |
| • |
High-density port connectivity: provides up to 12 interface module slots, up to 192 10-GbE ports, or 576 GbE ports (fiber or copper) per system |
| • |
Flexible port selection: provides a combination of fiber and copper interface modules, 100/1000BASE-X auto-speed selection, and 10/100/1000BASE-T auto-speed detection plus auto duplex and MDI/MDI-X |
| • |
Jumbo Frames: are supported on 10-GbE and GbE ports; up to 9,000 sizes allow high-performance backups and disaster-recovery systems |
| • |
Loopback: supports internal loopback testing for maintenance purposes and an increase in availability; loopback detection protects against incorrect cabling or network configurations and can be enabled on a per-port or per-VLAN basis for added flexibility |
| • |
Packet storm protection: protects against broadcast, multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds |
| • |
Scalable system design: backplane is designed for bandwidth increases; provides investment protection to support future technologies and higher speed connectivity |
| • |
Flexible chassis selection: provides a choice of three chassis, ranging from a 12-slot or 8-slot vertical for data center applications and a 5-slot; allows you to tailor your needs to meet your budget |
| • |
High-speed fully distributed architecture: provides switching capacity up to 1440 Gbps; supports a bandwidth of 857 Mpps and up to 192 10-GbE ports or 576 GbE fiber or copper ports; all switching and routing is performed in the I/O modules; meets today's and future demand for an enterprise's bandwidth-intensive applications |
Resiliency and high availability
| • |
Redundant/Load-sharing fabrics, management, fan assemblies, and power supplies: increase total performance and power available while providing hitless, stateful failover |
| • |
Hot-swappable modules: help ensure the replacement of hardware interface modules without impacting the traffic flow through the system |
| • |
Redundant power supplies: services module has the same level of power supply redundancy as the switch in which it is installed |
| • |
Passive design system: backplane has no active components for increased system reliability |
| • |
Separate data and control paths: increases security and performance |
