•Server-to-Switch Distributed Trunking: enables load-balancing and increases resiliency between a server and multiple switches. This feature allows a server to connect to multiple switches with one logical trunk that consists of multiple physical connections.

•Other Layer 2 and Layer 3 redundant protocols include MSTP, HP ProCurve switch meshing, and OSPF-ECMP.

Management

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

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

•Command authorization: leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to individual network administrator’s login; also provides audit trail

•LLDP: Link Layer Discovery Protocol allows automated device discovery for easy mapping by network management applications.

•Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports.

•Dual flash images: provide independent primary and secondary OS files for backup while upgrading

•Multiple configuration files: allows multiple configuration files to be stored to flash image

•Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors cable between two switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if the cable is broken, turning the bi-directional link into uni-directional; this prevents network problems such as loops.

•Configuration, monitoring, and management tasks can be performed using the CLI (through direct console or Telnet) connection, Web browser, Menu interface, and HP ProCurve Manager.

•MSTP pre-configuration: reduces MSTP configuration complexity and enhances management productivity

•Transceiver pre-configuration: streamlines deployment of switches in remote locations

Diagnostics

•Core memory dump: preserves system information if the switch failed so that the information can be analyzed for diagnostic purposes

Future-proofing

•Versatile Intelligent Port implies all gigabit copper ports on the 5400zl and 3500yl series are PoE enabled.

•The 5400zl series chassis management module is upgradable in order to meet future needs for processing power.

•Programmable ASICs allow some future requirements to be implemented without replacing the switch.

•Intelligent Edge features can be upgraded to Premium License features on the 5400zl and 3500yl series, allowing an edge switch to be redeployed as a distribution switch.

•The base power supply for the 5400zl series provides sufficient power for PoE on some ports. Power supplies can be added in order to provide PoE on all copper ports.

Low cost of ownership

•Industry-leading warranty: lifetime warranty♦ features next-business-day advance replacement, including coverage for fans and power supplies.

♦HP ProCurve Switch 3500/5400/6200 lifetime warranty is subject to local law and regulation; see Warranty Statement for more details. See www.procurve.com/support for more details on support and software releases.
