the series 8100fl switch hardware provides wire-speed performance regardless of the performance monitoring, filtering, and quality of service (qos) features enabled by the software.

    procurve 8100fl switches support the following features:

    1 hot swapping on:hot swapping on:

    (1)interface modules that can be installed in any order and combination

    (2)management module (when a redundant management module is online)

    (3)switch fabric modules (when a redundant fabric module is online)

    (4)power supply (when a redundant supply is online)

    (6)supported mini-gbics and transceivers

    2 high performance:

    (1)switch 8108fl—160 gbps aggregate switching capacity in each switch fabric module; 80gbps system throughput

    (2)switch 8116fl—320gbps aggregate switching capacity in each switch fabric module; 160gbps system throughput

    (3)up to 238 million packets-per-second non-blocking routing throughput

    3 full-duplex operation on all ports

    4 easy management of the switch through the following interfaces:

    (1)simple network management protocol (snmp) v1/v2

    (2)full-featured command line interface (cli)

    5 hardware redundancy

    (1)(optional) redundant power supply

    (2)(optional) redundant management module

    (3)(optional) redundant switch fabric module

    6 automatic routing switch failover provides hot standby redundancy using standards-based vrrp (virtual router redundancy protocol)

    7 switch management login security:

    (1)terminal access controller access control system (tacacs+)

    (2)remote authentication dial in user service (radius)

    (3)secure session shells (ssh) version 1.5 and 2.0

    8 qos mechanisms:

    (1)weighted random early detection (wred)

    (2)traffic prioritization based on 802.1p and diffserv (tos)

    (3)virtual output queuing (voq) architecture eliminates head of line blocking issues within the queuing system

    (4)class of service (cos) sets 802.1p priority tag based on source port diffserv or 802.1p

    (5)guaranteed minimum bandwidths per port/per queue allows traffic to receive guaranteed minimum bandwidth during times of congestion

    9 port mirroring to monitor traffic from specific ports

    10 port trunking for higher switch-to-switch throughput and link-level redundancy, with support for standards-based link aggregation (802.3ad)

    11 802.1s multi instance spanning tree protocol to eliminate network loops

    12 802.1q-compliant vlans to divide the attached end nodes into logical groupings to suit your business needs

    13 layer 3 routing functionality:

    (1)ip static routes

    (2)routing internet protocol (rip) v1 and v2

    (3)open shortest path first (ospf)

    (4)support for equal cost multipath (ecmp)

    14 other advanced features to enhance network performance, security, and control. for more information, refer to the management and configuration guide on the documentation cd-rom shipped with your switch.
