What is the switching capacity and throughput?

It features a 76.8 Gbps non-blocking crossbar switching fabric with up to 48 Mpps throughput, built on ProCurve ASIC technology. This ensures wire-speed performance for intra- and inter-module traffic with latency under 6 µs (FIFO), ideal for high-density Fast Ethernet.

Does it support VLANs and Layer 3 features?

Yes, Layer 2 includes IEEE 802.1Q with 4,094 VLAN IDs and 256 active VLANs. Layer 3 lite offers basic IP routing. Security and resiliency via IEEE 802.3ad LACP, 802.1w RSTP, SSHv2, SSL, RADIUS/TACACS+, and source-port filtering.

How is the switch managed?

Management via HP ProCurve Manager Plus, ProCurve Manager, command-line interface, web browser, configuration menu, and out-of-band DB-9 serial console. Supports IEEE 802.3 Ethernet MIB, Repeater MIB, and Ethernet Interface MIB for comprehensive monitoring.

What power options are available?

Includes one power supply with an open slot for an optional redundant hot-swappable unit. This design ensures high availability and minimal downtime in enterprise deployments requiring continuous operation.

What expansion capabilities does it have?

Two hot-swappable open module slots accept vl modules and mini-GBICs, enabling up to 120 10/100 ports, 32 Gigabit ports, or 8 mini-GBICs. Supports flexible upgrades from 10/100 to 1GbE/10GbE connectivity.
