Overview
|
|
|
The ProCurve 2900 Switch series consists of two switches: the ProCurve Switch 2900-24G with 24 10/100/1000 ports and the ProCurve Switch 2900-48G with 48 10/100/1000 ports. Both have 4 dual-personality ports for 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC connectivity. In addition, by including four integrated 10-Gigabit Ethernet (two CX4 ports and two X2 slots), the 2900 series offers the most flexible and easy-to-deploy multiple 10-Gigabit stacking and uplinks in its class. Together with IP static & RIP routing, robust security and management features, free lifetime warranty, and free software updates, the 2900 series is a cost-effective, future-proof solution for customers who are building high-performance networks.
Features
|
|
|
| • |
Port mirroring: enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring |
| • |
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 |
| • |
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications |
| • |
RMON and XRMON: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events |
| • |
Command authorization: leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail |
| • |
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 |
| • |
Plug-and-play 10 Gbps Ethernet for stacking and uplink: four integrated 10-GbE ports (two CX4 and two X2) built in on the switch |
| • |
Dual-personality functionality: four 10/100/1000 ports or SFP slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, -LH, or 100-FX |
| • |
Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches, including the HP ProCurve Switch 2500 Series, 2510 Series, 2600 Series, 2800 Series, 2810 Series, 2900 Series, 3400cl Series, 3500yl Series, 4200vl Series, 6108, 6200yl-24G-mGBIC, and 6400cl Series |
| • |
Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports |
| • |
High-performance architecture: 115 Gbps switching fabric with up to 74 million pps (switch 2900-24G) and 173 Gbps switching fabric with up to 110 million pps (switch 2900-48G) |
| • |
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
| • |
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 24 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk |
| • |
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees; provides legacy support for IEEE 802.1d and IEEE 802.1w |
| • |
VLAN support and tagging: support complete IEEE 802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously |
| • |
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs |
| • |
Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services |
| • |
Static IP routing: provides manually configured routing |
| • |
RIP: provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing at media speed |
| • |
USB Secure Autorun (requires HP ProCurve Manager Plus): deploys, diagnoses, and updates switch using USB flash drive; works with secure credential to prevent tampering |
| • |
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 |
| • |
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: authenticates from Web browser for clients that do not support IEEE 802.1X supplicant; customized remediation can be processed on an external Web server; MAC-based authentication: client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on 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; Concurrent IEEE 802.1X and Web or MAC authentication schemes per port: switch port will accept any of IEEE 802.1X and either Web or MAC authentications |
