2800 series support

• 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

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

• 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

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

• 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

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

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

• Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

• Jumbo frames: allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services

• Port security: prevents unauthorized access using MAC address lockdown

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

• IP lockdown: restrict incoming traffic on a port to a specific IP address/subnet, and deny all other traffic on that port

• Multiple user authentication methods:
  • IEEE 802.1X:  industry-standard way of user authentication using an 802.1X supplicant on the client in conjunction with a RADIUS server
  • Web-based authentication:  similar to 802.1X, provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the 802.1X supplicant
  • MAC-based authentication:  client is authenticated with the RADIUS server based on the MAC address of the client; useful for clients that have minimal or no user interface

• 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

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

• Class of Service (CoS): sets 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

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

• Dual flash images: provide independent primary and secondary OS files for backup while upgrading

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

• 802.1ab LLDP discovery: advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network

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

• iSCSI support: enables the deployment of Ethernet storage area network solutions using the iSCSI standard

• 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, 2600 series, 2800 series, 3400cl series, 6108, 6400cl series, and 4100gl 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: allow multiple config files to be stored to flash image

• Multiple configuration files: allow a config file to be stored to flash image
