• Debug and sampler utility
Supports ping and trace-route for both IPv4 and IPv6
• Network time protocol (NTP)
Synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; and keeps timekeeping
consistent among all clock-dependent devices within the network, so that the devices can
provide diverse applications, based on the consistent time
• Network quality analyzer
Analyzes network performance and service quality by sending test packets; provides network
performance and service quality parameters such as jitter, TCP, or FTP connection delays
and file transfer rates; and allows a network manager to determine the overall network
performance as well as diagnose and locate network congestion points or failures
• Information center
Provides a central repository for system and network information; aggregates all logs, traps,
and debugging information generated by the system and maintains them in the order of
severity; and sends out the network information to multiple channels, based on user-defined
rules
• IEEE 802.1ab link-layer discovery protocol (LLDP)
Advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network,
facilitating easy mapping by network management applications
• Dual flash images
Provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while
upgrading
• Multiple configuration files
Are easily stored with a flash image
Connectivity
• High-density port connectivity
Provides up to 10 interface module slots and up to 40 40GbE ports, 84 10GbE ports, 480 Fiber
Gigabit ports, or 480 PoE-enabled ports per HP 7500 Switch Series system
• Jumbo frames
Allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery systems with up to 9,216 bytes
• Loopback
Supports internal loopback testing for maintenance purposes and an increase in availability;
loopback detection protects against incorrect cabling or network configurations and can be
enabled on a per-port or per-VLAN basis for added flexibility
