Description
The HP ProCurve 6600-24G Switch is a data center optimized, advanced Layer 3 1U stackable switch with
20 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 4 dual-personality ports. The 6600 series 1U form factor switches are
enhanced for server edge connectivity with front-to-back cooling, redundant hot-swappable power, and
redundant hot-swappable fans. The foundation for all these switches is a purpose-built, programmable ProVision
ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as QoS and security, to be implemented in
a scalable yet granular fashion. With a variety of connectivity interfaces and expanded buffering, the 6600
switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment and
reduced operational expense.
Ports
•24 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connectors
•4 dual-personality 1-GbE SFP (can be used in lieu of last four 10/100/1000Base-T ports)
Management connectivity
•DB-9 serial console port

• Based on 3500yl-24G design
• 4 ports are dual personality (Gig-T or Gigabit fiber)
• NGX ASIC with 18 MB packet buffer
(3500yl series has 4.5 MB and 10-Gb ports)
• Runs same code as 3500yl/5400zl/8200zl switch
* 105.6 Gbps = (24+28.8)x2(Fdx),
although F1 has a full capability of
172.8-Gbps switching
