ProCurve Switch 5400zl/3500yl Series

Features and benefits

Industry-leading warrantyManagement

NEW 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

•RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events

•IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications

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

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

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

•Multiple configuration files: multiple config files can be stored to the flash image

•Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors a link between two switches and blocks the ports on both ends of the link if the link goes down at any point between the two devices

♦For as long as you own the product, with next-business-day advance replacement (available in most countries). For details, refer to the ProCurve Software Licence, Warranty and Support booklet at www.procurve.eu/warranty

•Management simplicity: ProCurve-common networking features and CLI implementation (common across ProCurve zl and yl switches)

Connectivity

NEW 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 ready: the switch hardware can support IPv6 QoS, ACL, routing, tunneling, and security; these features will be available when enabled via software update in follow- on releases

•IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet: provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras

•Pre-standard PoE support: detects and provides power to pre-standard PoE devices; see list of supported devices in the product FAQ at www.procurve.com

•Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services

•Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight- through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports

Performance

•5400zl/3500yl architecture: 115 to 692 Gbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra- and inter-module switching with 36 to 428 million pps throughput on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs
