HP 2910 Series User Manual

IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) and HP port trunking : support up to 24 trunks, each with up to 8 links (ports)
per trunk
Optional redundant power supply : supplies backup power in case of power failure ( NOTE: HP 620 Redundant/External Power
Supply provides only RPS functionality )
Manageability
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow : provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors a link between two switches and blocks the ports on both ends of the link if
the link goes down at any point between the two devices
Command authorization : leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login;
also provides an audit trail
Dual flash images : provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
Multiple configuration files : allow multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image
Friendly port names : allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
Find-Fix-Inform : finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs administrator
Software updates : free downloads from the Web
Troubleshooting : ingress and egress port monitoring enable network problem solving
Layer 2 switching
VLAN support and tagging : supports IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
Jumbo packet support : supports up to 9220-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers
IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs : isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs
Layer 3 routing
Static IP routing : provides manually configured routing; includes ECMP capability
Routing Information Protocol (RIP): provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing
Security
Multiple user authentication methods :
IEEE 802.1X : is an industry-standard method of user authentication using an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client in
conjunction with a RADIUS server
Web-based authentication : is similar to IEEE 802.1X and provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients
that do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
MAC-based authentication : authenticates the client with the RADIUS server based on the client's MAC address
Authentication flexibility :
Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port : provides authentication of up to eight IEEE 802.1X users per port; prevents a user
from "piggybacking" on another user's IEEE 802.1X authentication
Concurrent IEEE 802.1X and Web or MAC authentication schemes per port : switch port will accept any IEEE 802.1X and
either Web or MAC authentications
Access control lists (ACLs): provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination
TCP/UDP port number
Identity-driven ACL : enables implementation of a highly granular and flexible access security policy and VLAN assignment
specific to each authenticated network user
Dynamic ARP protection : blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data
DHCP protection : blocks DHCP packets from unauthorized DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks
