Features and benefits
Quality of Service (QoS)
•
Selectable queue configuration: increases
performance and/or traffic reliability by selecting
the number of queues that best meet the
requirements of your network applications; switch
will map 8 priorities to either 2 or 4 queues
•
Simplified QoS configuration:
– Port-based: prioritize traffic by specifying a port
and priority level
– VLAN based: prioritize traffic by specifying a
VLAN and priority level
•
IEEE 802.1p traffic prioritization: honors and
sets IEEE 802.1p priority in the VLAN tag
•
Type of service:
– IP Precedence: honors IP Precedence bits and
allows mapping to a priority queue
– Differentiated Services Code Point values:
honors Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP)
bits and allows mapping to a priority queue
•
Flow control: helps ensure reliable
communications during full-duplex operation
Management
•
Choice of management interfaces:
– Web graphical user interface (GUI):
easy-to-use graphical interface allows
configuration of the switch from any Web browser
– Command-line interface (CLI): robust
command-line interface provides advanced
configuration and diagnostics
– Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMPv2c/SNMPv3): allows switch to be
managed with a variety of third-party network
management applications
•
Integration with HP PCM: enables discovery,
mapping, logging, and configuration via HP PCM,
which is available as a free download from the
Web
•
Virtual stacking: single IP address manages up
to 16 switches
•
Port mirroring: allows traffic to be mirrored on
any port or a network analyzer to assist with
diagnostics or detecting network attacks
•
Multiple configuration files: configuration file
management tools allow up to three configuration
files to be managed and stored on the switch
•
Dual flash images: provide independent primary
and secondary operating system files for backup
while upgrading
•
Network tools: command-line interface includes
telnet client, ping, traceroute, and Layer 2 link test
tools for diagnostics
•
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
•
Logging: local and remote logging of events via
SNMP (v2c and v3) and syslog
•
IPv6 host: allows switches to be managed using
IPv6 protocols
•
RMON: provides advanced monitoring and
reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms,
and events
•
Find-Fix-Inform: finds and fixes common network
problems automatically, then informs administrator
•
Front-panel LEDs:
– 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
– Per-port LEDs: provides an at-a-glance view of
status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation
– Power and fault LEDs: display any issues
Connectivity
•
Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for
straight-through or crossover cables on all ports
•
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) slots:
dual-personality ports allow for either copper or
fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, -LH, and
-BX or 100-FX and -BX
•
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 (see product
specifications for total PoE power available);
supports some prestandard PoE devices (see product
FAQs for more details)
•
RJ-45 serial console port: front of unit location
provides easy access to switch CLI
