Security
Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (URPF)
allows normal packets to be forwarded correctly, but discards the attaching packet due to lack of reverse path route or incorrect
inbound interface; prevents source spoofing and distributed attacks; supports distributed UFPF
Defense-in-depth security
provides integrated and distributed security enforcement that can be managed from a central location, such as the HP Intelligent
Management Center (IMC)
Advanced processor queuing mechanism
helps prevent denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, while DHCP snooping helps ensure that devices can only receive an IP address
from a legitimate DHCP server on the network
IEEE 802.1X-based dynamic delivery of QoS, ACLs, and VLANs
allows complete control over user network access
Guest VLAN
similar to IEEE 802.1X, it provides a browser-based environment to authenticated clients
Port isolation
secures and adds privacy, and prevents malicious attackers from obtaining user information
MAC-based authentication
allows or denies access to the switch based on client MAC address
HTTPS management
provides secure Web management
Multi-Customer Edge (MCE) -Multicast Virtual Routing and Forwarding (MVRF)
provide MPLS Edge router support
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
is used to control access
RADIUS/HWTACACS
eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
Secure Shell (SSHv2)
encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote CLI access over IP networks
IP Source Guard
helps prevent IP spoofing attacks; filters packets on a per-port basis, which prevents illegal packets from being forwarded
Access control lists (ACLs)
helps provide high levels of security and ease of administration; 6k ingress entries and 1k egress entries (IPv4 and IPv6)
Convergence
Voice VLAN
automatically assigns VLAN and priority for IP phones, simplifying network configuration and maintenance
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
is used by IP hosts to establish and maintain multicast groups; supports v1, v2, and v3; utilizes Any-Source Multicast (ASM) or
Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) to manage IPv4 multicast networks
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
is used for IPv4 and IPv6 multicast applications; supports PIM Dense Mode (DM), Sparse Mode (SM), and Source-Specific Mode
(SSM)
LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery)
is a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network
devices such as IP phones
Monitor and diagnostics
