Executive summary
HP networking has an extensive line of networking products built around the concept of the ProCurve Adaptive
Network vision that provides the security, mobility, and convergence capabilities businesses demand while
giving technology administrators the ability to adapt to the changing needs of their organizations and control
their infrastructure centrally.
This guide describes the HP ProCurve 6600 Switch Series and how it builds upon the HP ProCurve Switch
8200zl, 5400zl, 6200yl, and 3500yl Series and the principles of the Adaptive Network by providing a
platform for delivering intelligence, performance, and affordability to the edge of the enterprise compute
network. Specifically, the HP ProCurve 6600 Switch Series enhances server edge connectivity in the data
center by delivering advanced Layer 2/3/4 capabilities that embody the Adaptive Network architecture, where
intelligence and decisions are made at the edge of the compute network and effective visibility, provisioning,
and automation is provided remotely. With Gigabit and 10-GbE SFP+ options, front-to-back (reversible)
airflow, redundant hot-swappable power supplies, and a hot-swappable fan tray, the 6600 switches offer high
availability, flexibility, and scalability for a highly virtualized server edge. The HP ProCurve 6600 Switch Series
is the industry’s first data center edge switch with a lifetime warranty and free software updates.
Introduction
HP ProCurve 6600 Switch Series
The HP ProCurve 6600 Switch Series enhances data center top-of-rack server connectivity and end-of-row
aggregation by offering Layer 2/3/4 functionality in 1-GbE copper and 10-GbE SFP+ options.
Audience
This guide is written primarily for technical evaluators and product reviewers of networking equipment and
solutions.
Scope
This guide provides detailed information about and specifications for the ProCurve 6600 Switch Series, with
the assumption that details about networking protocols can be referenced externally by those familiar with
general networking. Technologies that are relatively new will be covered in more detail than more familiar and
established technologies.
References to the ProCurve Switch 8200zl, 5400zl, 3500yl, and 6200yl Series are used as they relate to the
architecture and positioning of the 6600 switch series.
