HPE J9471A Network Switch Networking

The HP ProCurve Switch 3500 Series consists of the most advanced intelligent edge switches in the HP ProCurve Networking product line. The 3500 series includes 24-port and 48-port stackables. The foundation for all these switches is a purpose-built, programmable ProVision ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and security, to be implemented in a scalable yet granular fashion. With a variety of Gigabit and 10/100 interfaces, integrated PoE and Non-PoE options,10-GbE capability on Gigabit switches, the 3500 switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment, operation, and maintenance.

Management

• Remote Intelligent Mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote 8200zl/6200yl/5400zl/3500yl switch anywhere on the network


Connectivity

• 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; IPv6 ACL/QoS: supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic; IPv6 ready: the switch hardware can support IPv6 routing, tunneling, and security.


Performance

• High-speed/capacity architecture: up to 153.6 Gbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra- and inter- module switching with up to 111.5 million pps throughput on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs


Resiliency and high availability

• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (requires Premium License): VRRP allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments


Layer 2 switching

• IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q (requires Premium License): increases the scalability of Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connects multiple LAN's on high-speed campus or metro network


Layer 3 services

• UDP helper function: UDP broadcasts can be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and prevent server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP


Layer 3 routing

• Static IP routing: provides manually configured routing; includes ECMP capability
