Features
HP 5406 zl Switch Chassis offers intelligent edge Layer 2/3/4 capability in a modular 6-slot Form-F
Power supplies must be ordered separately
Consists of advanced intelligent switches in the HP modular chassis product line
Which includes 6-slot and 12-slot chassis and associated zl modules and bundles
The foundation for the switch series is a purpose-built, programmable ProVision ASIC
Allows the most demanding networking features, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and security
With 10/100, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
Choice of PoE+ and non-PoE
Integrated Layer 3 features; and HP AllianceOne solutions
The 5400 zl switch series offers excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability
As well as ease of deployment, operation, and maintenance
OpenFlow: is a key technology that enables software-defined networking
By allowing the separation of data (packet forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths
Advanced classifier-based QoS:classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2,3,4
Applies QoS policies such as setting priority level
Rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis
Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
Allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
Port-based rate limiting: provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced increased bandwidth
Classifier-based rate limiting: uses an access control list (ACL)
To enforce increased bandwidth for ingress traffic on each port
Reduced bandwidth: provides per-port, per-queue egress-based reduced bandwidth
Remote intelligent mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities
For statistics, history, alarms, and events
(LLDP): advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network
Provides common software features and CLI implementation across all HP ProVision-based switches
IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet: lowers power consumption in periods of low link usage
(supported on v2 zl 10/100/1000 and 10/100 modules)
(PoE): provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices
Power Over Ethernet Plus: provides up to 30 W per port to IEEE 802.3 for PoE-/PoE+-powered devices
Prestandard PoE support: detects and provides power to prestandard PoE devices
High-speed, high-capacity architecture
1 Tbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra-module and inter-module switching
With 585.6 million pps throughput on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs
Selectable queue configurations: allows for increased performance
By selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering
Best meet the requirements of the network applications
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol: allows groups of two routers
To dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments
Allowing multiple spanning trees
Encompasses IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and HP port trunking
Support up to 144 trunks, each with up to eight links (ports) per trunk
Distributed trunking: enables loop-free and redundant network topology
Allows a server or switch to connect to two switches using one logical trunk
Provides uninterrupted power and allows hot-swapping of the redundant power supplies when installed
VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard and 2,048 VLANs simultaneously
IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs: isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
Q-in-Q: increases the scalability of an Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure
Connects multiple LANs on a high-speed campus or metro network
MAC-based VLAN: provides granular control and security
Uses RADIUS to map a MAC address/user to specific VLANs (requires v2 modules)
