HPE 8206 zl Switch

Description

Advanced classifier-based QoS

Classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis.

Traffic prioritization

Traffic prioritization allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues.

Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD)

Monitors cable between two switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if the cable is broken, turning the bi-directional link into uni-directional; this prevents network problems such as loops.

Command authorization

Command authorization leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail Friendly port names:allow assignment of descriptive names to ports.

Dual flash images

Dual flash images provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading or fine-tuning the switch configuration.

HPE Unified Core-to-Edge features

HPE ProVision portfolio-common feature implementation allows faster solution deployment.

Selectable queue configurations

Increase performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of your network applications.

Scalable system design

Chassis architecture/backplane provides built-in performance capacity/headroom to support next-generation high-density/high-speed connectivity.

Nonstop switching

Nonstop switching improves network availability to better support critical applications such as unified communication and mobility; interface and fabric modules continue switching traffic during failover from active to standby management module.

Server-to-switch distributed trunking

Server-to-switch distributed trunking allows a server to connect to two switches with one logical trunk that consists of multiple physical connections; enables load-balancing and increases resiliency.

Redundant, hot-swappable cooling

Redundant fan design and hot-swappable fan tray provide continuity of operation in case of a single fan failure.

Passive system design

Passive chassis backplane provides system reliability and reduces the impact of component failure.

Virtual router redundancy protocol

Allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environment.
