Features
The HP 3500 Switch Series consists of advanced intelligent-edge switches, available in 24-port
48-port fixed-port models
The foundation for these switches is a purpose-built, programmable HP ProVision ASIC
Allows the most demanding networking features, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and security
To be implemented in a scalable yet granular fashion
With a variety of Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100 interfaces
Integrated PoE+, PoE, and non-PoE options
Versatile 10GbE connectivity (CX4, X2, and SFP+) on Gigabit Ethernet switches
The 3500 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 and rate limit to selected traffic on a port
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
Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service
Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ
Remote intelligent mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL,port,MAC address
Or VLAN to a local or remote HP 8200 zl, 6600, 6200 yl, 5400 zl,
Or 3500 Switch anywhere on the network
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities
(LLDP): advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network
Facilitating easy mapping by network management applications
(UDLD): monitors a cable between two switches and shuts down the ports on both ends
If the cable is broken, turning the bidirectional link into a unidirectional one
This prevents network problems such as loops
Management simplicity: common software features and CLI implementation
Across all ProVision-based switches (including the zl and yl switches)
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE): 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
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+): provides up to 30 W per port
To IEEE 802.3 for devices that use PoE/PoE+, such as video IP phones,
IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, and advanced pan/zoom/tilt security cameras
Prestandard PoE support: detects and provides power to prestandard PoE devices
Jumbo frames: on Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports
Jumbo frames allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services
Auto-MDIX: provides automatic adjustments for straight-through or crossover cables on all ports
High-speed/capacity architecture: up to 153.6 Gbps crossbar switching fabric
Provides intra- and inter-module switching with up to 111.5 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 that best meet the requirements of the network applications
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (requires Premium License)
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
By allowing multiple spanning trees
Encompasses IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(LACP) and HP port trunking: support up to 144 trunks, each w/ up to eight links (ports) per trunk
Enables loop-free and redundant network topology without using Spanning Tree Protocol
Allows a server or switch to connect to two switches using one logical trunk
Uplink Failure Detection: provides active-standby network path redundancy
For servers that are configured for active-standby NIC teaming
IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q (requires Premium License): increases the scalability of an Ethernet network
By providing a hierarchical structure; connects multiple LANs on a high-speed campus or metro net.
HP switch meshing: dynamically load-balances across multiple active redundant links
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
