Performance
9.6 Gbps switch fabric integrated on-chip: high-performance switch design with a non-blocking architecture
Resiliency and high availability
802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support a single trunk with up to 4 links (ports)
Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D): provides redundant links while preventing network loops
802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol : increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links
Layer 2 switching
VLAN support and tagging: support up to 30 port-based VLANs and dynamic configuration of 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups
Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
Security
Port security: prevents unauthorized access using MAC address lockdown
802.1X and RADIUS network login: control port-based access for authentication and accountability
TACACS+: eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
Quality of Service (QoS)
IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
Manageability
RMON and XRMON: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
ProCurve/IEEE Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 ports
Web interface: allows you to configure the switch from any Web browser on the network
Convergence
IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP: automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches, including the ProCurve 2500 series, 2600 series, 2800 series, 3400cl series, 6108, 6400cl series, and 4100gl series
Lifetime warranty: for as long as you own the product, with next-business-day advance replacement (available in most countries)
