PROCURVE SWITCH CHASIS 4208VL CPNT EN

Overview
The HP E4200 vl Switch Series consists of modular chassis that provide a flexible, cost-effective LAN solution as an alternative to stackables. These switches offer a proven chassis form factor with high quality and reliability in 10/100, 10/100/1000, and 10-Gigabit scalable solutions that integrate easily into any network.

Features
Management

⁍ Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors cable between two switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if the cable is broken turning the bi-directional link into uni-directional; this prevents network problems such as loops


Connectivity

⁍ Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports


Performance

⁍ Architecture: up to 76.8 Gbps crossbar switching fabric provides wire-speed intra- and inter-module switching with up to 48 million pps throughput built on HP custom-designed ASIC technology


Resiliency and high availability

⁍ IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and HP port trunking: support up to 60 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk


Manageability

⁍ sFlow (RFC 3176): wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring


Layer 2 switching

⁍ VLAN support and tagging: support the IEEE 802.1Q (4094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously


Layer 3 routing

⁍ Basic IP routing: enables automatic routing to the connected VLANs and up to 16 static routes, including one default route, in IP networks
