HP E8212 zl Switch Base System

The HP ProCurve 8200zl Switch Series offers high performance, scalability, and a wide range of features in a high-availability platform that dramatically reduces complexity and provides reduced cost of ownership. As part of a Unified Wired and Wireless Network infrastructure solution, the 8200zl series provides platform technology, system software, system management, application integration, wired and wireless integration, network security, and support that are common across the HP ProCurve ProVision family of modular and fixed-port switches. Together, they deliver an agile, cost-effective, high-availability network solution. With key technologies to provide solution longevity, the 8200zl switch series is built to deliver long-term investment protection without added complexity for network core, aggregation, and high-availability access layer deployments. It provides these capabilities while bringing to market the industry's first highly available switch with a lifetime warranty.

Management

• Remote intelligent mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote 8200zl/6600/6200yl/5400zl/3500yl switch anywhere on the network.


Connectivity

• High-density port connectivity: 12 interface module slots, up to 288 wire-speed 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled ports or 48 10-GbE ports per system.


Performance

• High-speed/capacity architecture: 691.2 Gbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra- and inter-module switching with 480.3 million pps throughput on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs.


Resiliency and high availability

• Redundant management, fabric, and power: provide enhanced system availability and assured continuity of operations.


Layer 2 switching

• IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q (requires Premium License): increases the scalability of Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connects multiple LANs on high-speed campus or metro network.


Layer 3 services

• UDP helper function: UDP broadcasts can be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and prevent server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP


Layer 3 routing

• Static IP routing: provides manually configured routing; includes ECMP capability
