Performance

• 9.6 Gbps switch fabric integrated on-chip: high-performance switch design with a non-blocking architecture


Resiliency and high availability

• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking : support a single trunk with up to 4 links (ports)


Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging: support up to 30 port-based VLANs and dynamic configuration of 802.1Q VLAN tagging, providing security between workgroups


Security

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


Convergence

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


Quality of Service (QoS)

• IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic.


Manageability

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