Performance
•High-speed/-capacity architecture: based on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs to provide superior system
performance and scalability
•Selectable queue configurations: increase performance by selecting the number of queues and associated
memory buffering that best meet the requirements of network applications
Resiliency and high availability
•IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and ProCurve trunking: support up to 60 trunks, each
with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk
•IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing
multiple spanning trees; provides legacy support for 802.1D1998 and IEEE 802.1w
•Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (requires Premium License): VRRP allows groups of two routers to
dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments
•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
•Sparing simplicity: common power supplies, fan trays, and transceivers are used among the 6600 series
products
Layer 2 switching
•ProCurve switch meshing: dynamically load-balances across multiple active redundant links to increase
available aggregate bandwidth
•GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
•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
•IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs: isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs
Layer 3 services
•Loopback interface address: defines an address in RIP and OSPF that can always be reachable, improving
diagnostic capability
•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
•RIP: provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing
•Static IP routing: provides manually configured routing; includes ECMP capability
•OSPF (requires Premium License): provides OSPFv2 for IPv4 and OSPFv3 for IPv6 routing
•Route maps: provide more control during route re-distribution; allow filtering and altering of route metrics
Security
•Source-port filtering: allows only specified ports to communicate with each other
•RADIUS/TACACS+: eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication
server
•Secure Shell (SSHv2): encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote command-line interface (CLI) access
over IP networks
•Port security: allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the
administrator
•MAC address lockout: prevents particular configured MAC addresses from connecting to the network
•Detection of malicious attacks: monitors 10 types of network traffic and sends a warning when an anomaly
that potentially can be caused by malicious attacks is detected
•Secure FTP: allows secure file transfer to/from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or
unauthorized copying of switch configuration file
•Switch management logon security: can require either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication for secure switch
CLI logon
•Secure management access: all access methods—CLI, GUI, or MIB—are securely encrypted through SSHv2,
SSL, and/or SNMPv3
