Performance
- 35.7 Mpps at 64 bytes (ProCurve
2810-24G) and 71.4 Mpps at 64 bytes (ProCurve Switch
2810-48G): ten times the bandwidth for low-latency
throughput
Connectivity
- Dual-personality functionality:
four 10/100/1000 ports or mini-GBIC slots for
optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH
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
- Optional redundant power supply:
provides uninterrupted power (provided by ProCurve
600 RPS/EPS)
Layer 2
switching
- 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 packet support: supports
up to 9,216 byte frame size to improve performance of large
data transfers
Security
- 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 way 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 MAC address of the
client
- Secure FTP: allows secure file
transfer to/from the switch; protects against unwanted file
downloads or unauthorized copying of switch configuration
file
- TACACS+: eases switch management
security administration by using a password authentication
server
- Source-port filtering: allows
only specified ports to communicate with each other
- 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
- Switch management logon security:
can require either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication
for secure switch CLI logon
Quality
of Service (QoS)
- Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p):
allows real-time traffic classification into 8
priority levels mapped to 4 queues
- Class of Service (CoS): sets
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
Ease of use
- Locator LED: allows users to set
the locator LED on a specific switch to either turn on,
blink, or turn off; simplifies troubleshooting by making it
easy to locate a particular switch within a rack of similar
switches
- Friendly port names: allow
assignment of descriptive names to ports
- Find-Fix-and-Inform: finds and
fixes common network problems automatically, then informs
administrator
- ProCurve/IEEE Auto-MDIX:
automatically adjusts for straight-through or
crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports
Manageability
- sFlow (RFC 3176): wire-speed
traffic accounting and monitoring
- RMON: provides advanced
monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics,
history, alarms, and events
- Dual flash images: provide
independent primary and secondary OS files for backup while
upgrading
- Stacking capability: single IP
address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches,
including the ProCurve 2500 series, 2510 series, 2600
series, 2800 series, 3400cl series, 6108, 6400cl series,
4200vl series, and 4100gl series
- Troubleshooting: ingress/egress
port monitoring enables network problem-solving
- Multiple configuration files:
allow multiple config files to be stored to flash
image
Convergence
- IEEE 802.1ab LLDP discovery:
advertises and receives management information from
adjacent devices on a network
- Per-port broadcast throttling:
selectively configure broadcast control on heavy
traffic port uplinks
- Software updates: free downloads
from the Web
