High-density, Gigabit and 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) data center top-of-rack

Features & Benefits:

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic policing — supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
• Powerful QoS feature — creates traffic classes based on access control lists (ACLs), IEEE 802.1p precedence, IP, DSCP, or Type of Service (ToS) precedence; supports filter, redirect, mirror, or remark; supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), weighted random early discard (WRED), SP+WRR, and SP+WFQ

Management

• sFlow (RFC 3176) — provides scalable ASIC-based wire-speed network monitoring and accounting with no impact on network performance; this allows network operators to gather a variety of sophisticated network statistics and information for capacity planning and real-time network monitoring purposes
• Remote configuration and management — is available through a secure Web browser or a CLI
• Manager and operator privilege levels — enable read-only (operator) and read/write (manager) access on CLI and Web browser management interfaces
• Management VLAN — segments traffic to and from management interfaces, including CLI/telnet, a Web browser interface, and SNMP
• Multiple configuration files — can be stored to the flash image
• Secure Web GUI — provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS
• SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 — facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices
• Remote monitoring (RMON) — uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) — synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps consistent timekeeping among all clock-dependent devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time
• Out-of-band interface — isolates management traffic from user data plane traffic for complete isolation and total reachability, no matter what happens in the data plane
• Remote intelligent mirroring — mirrors ingress/egress ACL-selected traffic from a switch port or VLAN to a local or remote switch port anywhere on the network

Connectivity

• Jumbo frames — on Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, jumbo frames allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services
• Auto-MDIX — automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports
• IPv6 native support —
  • IPv6 host — enables switches to be managed and deployed at the IPv6 network's edge
  • Dual stack (IPv4 & IPv6) — transitions from IPv4 to IPv6, supporting connectivity for both protocols
  • Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping — IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface
  • IPv6 ACL/QoS — supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic, preventing traffic flooding
  • IPv6 routing — supports IPv6 static routes, RIP, BGP4+v6, IS-ISv6, and OSPF routing protocols

Performance

• Extraordinarily high port density — the HP 5830AF-96G Switch is a single box-type switch that can provide 96 GbE ports and 10 10GbE ports simultaneously with full line-rate switching and forwarding
• Ultradeep packet buffering — provides up to a 3 GB packet buffer to help eliminate network congestion at the I/O associated with heavy use of server virtualization, as well as bursty multimedia, storage applications, and other critical services

• Local Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) — ARP fast reply feature provides an outstanding utilization of air-interface resources by first issuing an ARP request locally before the AP broadcasts over the radio interface

Resiliency and high availability

• Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) — monitors link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected, preventing loops in STP-based networks
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) — allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments
• Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) — creates virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two or more switches perform as a single L2 switch and L3 router; switches do not have to be co-located and can be part of a disaster recovery system; servers or switches can be attached using standard LACP for automatic load balancing and high availability; can eliminate the need for complex protocols like Spanning Tree Protocol, Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP), or VRRP, thereby simplifying network operation
• Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP) — connects multiple switches in a high-performance ring using standard Ethernet technology; traffic can be rerouted around the ring in less than 200 ms, reducing the impact on traffic and applications
• Smart link — allows 200 ms failover between links
• Data center optimized design — supports front-to-back/back-to-front airflow for hot/cold aisles, rear rack mounts, and redundant hot-swappable AC or DC power and fans

Manageability

Layer 2 switching

• Spanning Tree/MSTP and RSTP — prevent network loops
• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol snooping — effectively control and manage the flooding of multicast packets in a Layer 2 network
• 32K MAC addresses — provide access to many Layer 2 devices
• IEEE 802.1ad QinQ and Selective QinQ — increase the scalability of an Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connect multiple LANs on a high-speed campus or metro network
• 10GbE port aggregation — allows grouping of ports to increase overall data throughput to a remote device
• Port isolation — increases security by isolating ports within a VLAN while still allowing them to communicate with other VLANs
• Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) — allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree to improve link bandwidth usage in network environments where multiple VLANs exist
• GVRP VLAN Registration Protocol — allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

Layer 3 services

• Loopback interface address — defines an address in Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Standard Path First (OSPF), improving diagnostic capability
• User Datagram Protocol (UDP) helper function — allows UDP broadcasts to be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and prevents server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP
• Route maps — provide more control during route redistribution; allow filtering and altering of route metrics
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) — simplifies the management of large IP networks and supports client and server; DHCP Relay enables DHCP operation across subnets

Layer 3 routing

• IPv6 tunneling — is an important element for the transition from IPv4 to IPv6; allows IPv6 packets to traverse IPv4-only networks by encapsulating the IPv6 packet into a standard IPv4 packet; supports manually configured, 6to4, and Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) tunnels
• Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) — enables link connectivity monitoring and reduces network convergence time for RIP, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, VRRP, and IRF
