ProCurve Switch 2800 Series
features

2800 series support

• Dual-personality functionality: four 10/100/1000 ports or mini-GBIC slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH

• 48 Gbps backplane with up to 34.7 million pps (ProCurve 2824) and 96 Gbps backplane with up to 69.8 million pps (ProCurve 2848): ten times the bandwidth for low-latency throughput

• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 24 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk

• Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D): provides redundant links while preventing network loops

• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol: increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links

• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees

• Optional external redundant power supply: provides uninterrupted power

• VLAN support and tagging: supports the IEEE 802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously

• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

• Jumbo packet support: supports up to 9,216 byte frame size to improve performance of large data transfers

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

• Dynamic ARP protection: blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data

• Dynamic IP lockdown: works with DHCP protection to block traffic from unauthorized host, preventing IP source address spoofing

• Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator

• MAC address lockout: prevents configured particular MAC addresses from connecting to the network

• Multiple user authentication methods:
  • IEEE 802.1X industry-standard way of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server
  • Web-based authentication similar to IEEE 802.1X, provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
  • MAC-based authentication client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address

• Secure FTP: allows secure file transfer to/from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of switch configuration file

• TACACS+: eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server

• Source-port filtering: allows only specified ports to communicate with each other

• Secure Shell (SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote command-line interface (CLI) access over IP networks

• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch

• Switch management logon security: can require either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication for secure switch CLI logon

• IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP: automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic

• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications

• Per-port broadcast throttling: selectively configure broadcast control on heavy traffic port uplinks

• Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels mapped to 4 queues

• Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), L3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ

• Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers

• RMON, XRMON, sFlow, and SMON: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events

• Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports

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

• Dual flash images: provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading

• Software updates: free downloads from the Web

• Stacking capability: single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches, including the ProCurve 2500 series, 2510 series, 2600 series, 2800 series, 2810 series, 2900 series, 3400cl series, 3500yl series, 4200vl series, 6108, 6200yl-24G-mGBIC, and 6400cl series

• Find-Fix-and-Inform: finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs administrator

• Troubleshooting: ingress/egress port monitoring enables network problem-solving

• Multiple configuration files: multiple config files can be stored to the flash image
