Data sheet | HP 10500 Switch Series
4
• IEEE 802.3ad LACP
Supports up to 128 trunks, each with 8 links per trunk; and provides support for static or
dynamic groups and a user-selectable hashing algorithm
• Graceful restart
Supports graceful restart for OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, LDP, and RSVP; the network remains stable
during the active-standby switchover; after the switchover, the device quickly learns the
network routes by communicating with adjacent routers; forwarding remains uninterrupted
during the switchover to achieve nonstop forwarding (NSF)
• Ultra-fast protocol convergence (sub-second) with standards-based failure
detection—bidirectional forwarding detection
Enables link connectivity monitoring and reduces network convergence time for the routing
information protocol (RIP), OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, VRRP, MPLS, and IRF
• Smart link
Allows 100 ms failover between links
• Multiple internal power supplies
Provides high reliability; the 10504 switch provides 3+1 redundancy; the 10508, 10508-V, and
10512 switches provide 5+1 redundancy
Virtual private network (VPN)
• IPSec
Provides secure tunneling over an untrusted network such as the Internet or a wireless
network; offers data confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity between two network
endpoints
• Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)
Transports Layer 2 connectivity over a Layer 3 path in a secured way; enables the segregation
of traffic from site to site
• Manual or automatic Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
Provides both manual or automatic key exchange required for the algorithms used in
encryption or authentication; auto-IKE allows automated management of the public key
exchange, providing the highest levels of encryption
Management
• Management interface control
Enables or disables each of the following interfaces depending on security preferences:
console port, telnet port, or reset button
• Industry-standard CLI with a hierarchical structure
Reduces training time and expenses, and increases productivity in multivendor installations
• Management security
Restricts access to critical configuration commands; offers multiple privilege levels with
password protection; ACLs provide telnet and SNMP access; local and remote syslog
capabilities allow logging of all access
• SNMPv1, v2, and v3
Provides complete support of SNMP; provide full support of industry-standard Management
Information Base (MIB) plus private extensions; SNMPv3 supports increased security using
encryption
• sFlow® (RFC 3176)
Provides scalable ASIC-based wirespeed network monitoring and accounting with no impact
on network performance; this allows network operators to gather a variety of sophisticated
network statistics and information for capacity planning and real-time network monitoring
purposes
