Overview

The ProCurve 4200vl Switch series consists of modular chassis that provide a flexible, cost-effective LAN solution as an alternative to stackables. These switches offer a proven chassis form factor with high quality and reliability in 10/100 and 10/100/1000 scalable solutions that integrate easily into any network.

Features


Management
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors a link between two switches and blocks the ports on both ends of the link if the link goes down at any point between the two devices

Connectivity
Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports

Performance
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 36 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is supported

Layer 3 routing
Basic IP routing: enables automatic routing to the connected VLANs and up to 16 static routes--including one default route--in IP networks

Security
Multiple user authentication methods: IEEE 802.1X: industry-standard method of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server; Web-based authentication: similar to IEEE 802.1X, provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant; MAC-based authentication: client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
Authentication flexibility: Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port: provides authentication of up to eight IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents user "piggybacking" on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication
Dynamic ARP protection: blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data
Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator
MAC address lockout: prevents configured particular MAC addresses from connecting to the network

Convergence
IP multicast (data-driven IGMPv3): automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones

Quality of Service (QoS)
Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to four queues
Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), L3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ
Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
