HP ProCurve Routing Switch 9308M / 9304M Reviewer’s Guide

2.7.2 Layer 3 and Layer 4 Filtering

At Layer 3 and Layer 4, these filters available are:

IP Filters

�Inbound and/or outbound IP addresses

�Protocol types (UDP, TCP, etc.)

�Port numbers or ranges of numbers (ftp, http, etc.)

�Specific RIP routes inbound

�Specific advertised RIP routes outbound

�RIP redistribution (conversion of OSPF routes to RIP)

�OSPF redistribution (conversion of RIP routes to OSPF)

AppleTalk Filters

IPX Filters

�Inbound and/or outbound IPX addresses

�Inbound and outbound forward filters

(Allows a remote IPX client access to a restricted- access server)

�Specific RIP routes inbound

�Specific advertised RIP routes outbound

�Specific advertised SAP routes (128 filters max per chassis)

�Zone filters - ability to filter resource access from other zones

�Network filters - Specific advertised zones in the routing packets

2.8 Flexibility

The HP ProCurve routing switches have been designed with flexibility and high port density in mind. Any module type can be plugged into any of the module slots. The only requirement is that one, and only one, module with management must be installed. The modules are hot swappable. Available module types are:

•HP ProCurve 9300 10/100 Module (24 port)

•HP ProCurve 9300 10/100 Management Module (16 port)

•HP ProCurve 9300 100Base-FX Module (24 port, MT-RJ connectors) MT-RJ is a new connector type

that allows full duplex 100Base-FX connections in the same space as a RJ-45 connection. Adapter cables for SC to MT-RJ conversion are available from 3rd party sources.

•HP ProCurve 9300 Gigabit SX Module (8 port, SC connectors)

•HP ProCurve 9300 Gigabit SX Management Module (8 port, SC connectors) Works with 62.5/125 multi-mode fiber cable at up to 220M, or 50/125 multi-mode fiber cable at up to 500m.

•HP ProCurve 9300 Gigabit SX/LX Module(4 ports SX, 4 ports LX, SC connectors) SX connections work with 62.5/125 multi-mode fiber cable at up to 220M, or 50/125 multi-mode fiber cable at up to 500m connections. LX connections work with single-mode fiber cable up to 5km, or with either 62.5/125 or 50/125 multi-mode fiber cable up to 550m (a mode-conditioning cable may be required for multi-mode use on some older fiber-optic cables per IEEE 802.3z).

•HP ProCurve 9300 Gigabit SX/LX Management Module (4 ports SX, 4 ports LX, SC connectors) Same comments as for the card above.

A fully loaded HP ProCurve Routing Switch 9304M can have (88) 10/100Mbps ports or (32) Gigabit ports in a box only 22.8cm (9") in height and 13.8kg (30.8lbs).

A fully loaded HP ProCurve Routing Switch 9308M can have (188) 10/100Mbps ports or (64) Gigabit ports in a box only 52.7cm (20.75") in height and 26kg (57.3lbs).
