Key features
Fully managed Layer 3 stackable switch series
Low-latency, highly resilient architecture
SFP+, 10GBASE-T, PoE+, modular stacking
Highly resilient meshed stacking technology
Industry-leading lifetime warranty
Product overview
The HP 3800 Switch Series is a family of nine fully managed Gigabit Ethernet switches available in 24-port and 48-port models, with or
without PoE+, and with either SFP+ or 10GBASE-T uplinks. The 3800 Switch Series utilizes the latest HP ProVision ASIC technology and
advances in hardware engineering to deliver one of the most resilient and energy-efficient switches in the industry. Meshed stacking
technology is implemented in the HP 3800 Switch Series to deliver chassis-like resiliency in a flexible, stackable form factor.
Features and benefits
Software-defined networking
OpenFlow
supports OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.3 specifications to enable SDN by allowing separation of the data (packet forwarding) and control
(routing decision) paths
Quality of Service
(QoS)
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
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
Bandwidth shaping
:
Port-based rate limiting
: provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced increased bandwidth
Classifier-based rate limiting
: uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce increased bandwidth for ingress traffic on each
port
Reduced bandwidth
: provides per-port, per-queue egress-based reduced bandwidth
Remote intelligent mirroring
mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote HP 8200 zl, 6600, 6200 yl,
5400 zl, 3800, or 3500 Switch anywhere on the network
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5
provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
Traffic prioritization
allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
Management
Friendly port names
allows assignment of descriptive names to ports
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP)
