Selectable queue configurations
allows for increased performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the
requirements of the network applications
Energy-efficient design
:
High-efficiency power supplies
: 80 PLUS Gold-certified power supplies increase power savings
Energy-efficient Ethernet support
: IEEE 802.3az support reduces power consumption
Meshed stacking technology
:
High-performance stacking
: provides up to 336 Gb/s of stacking throughput; each 4-port stacking module can support
up to 42 Gb/s in each direction per stacking port
Ring, chain, and mesh topologies
: support up to a 10-member ring or chain and 5-member fully meshed stacks; meshed
topologies offer increased resiliency vs. a standard ring
Virtualized switching
: when stacked, switches appear as a single chassis, providing simplified management
HP ProVision ASIC architecture
designed with the latest HP ProVision ASIC, with very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption
Resiliency and high availability
NEW Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments in IPv4 and IPv6
networks
Nonstop switching and routing
improves network availability to better support critical applications such as unified communication and mobility; traffic will
continue to be forwarded during failover when the backup member of the stack becomes the commander
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and HP port 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
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments
Dual hot-swappable power supplies
Increased resiliency
: second power supply can allow for complete switch power redundancy in case of power line or
supply failure
Increased PoE+ power
: second power supply can increase total available PoE+ powerr
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
NEW SmartLink
provides easy-to-configure link redundancy of active and standby links
Layer 2 switching
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
IEEE 802.1ad QinQ
increases the scalability of an Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connects multiple LANs on a high-speed
campus or metro network
VLAN support and tagging
supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard and 2,048 VLANs simultaneously
