6400cl series support

• 160 Gbps backplane with 119 mpps: unprecedented bandwidth for low-latency throughput

• Selectable queuing configurations: increase performance by selecting the queuing configuration that best meets the requirements of network applications

• Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services (up to 4 ports per module on Gigabit modules)

• Router redundancy (XRRP): allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments

• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 4 trunks, each with up to 4 links (ports) per trunk; trunking across modules is supported

• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees

• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol: increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links

• Optional redundant power supply: provides uninterrupted power (provided by ProCurve 600 RPS/EPS)

• ProCurve switch meshing: dynamically load-balances across multiple active redundant links to increase available aggregate bandwidth

• VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE 802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously

• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

• IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs: isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs

• Layer 3 IP routing: provides routing of IP at media speed; supports static routes, RIP, RIPv2, and OSPF

• Access control lists (ACLs): provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number

• Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator

• Source-port filtering: allows only specified ports to communicate with each other

• TACACS+: eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server

• Secure Shell (SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote command-line interface (CLI) access over IP networks

• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch

• IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS network login: control port-based access for authentication and accountability

• 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

• Secure FTP: allows secure file transfer to/from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of switch configuration file

• Secure access to manage the 6400cl series: all access methods--CLI, GUI, or MIB--are securely encrypted through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3

• IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP: automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic

• Rate limiting: per-port ingress enforced maximums

• Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers

• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels mapped to 4 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

• sFlow (RFC 3176): wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring

• RMON and XRMON: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events

• Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches, including the 3400cl series

• Lifetime warranty: for as long as you own the product, with next-business-day advance replacement (available in most countries)
