Key features

Non-blocking architecture

• 76.8 Gbps non-blocking crossbar switching fabric provides wire-speed intra- and inter-module switching with up to 48 million pps throughput built on HP custom designed ASIC technology.

IP layer 3 routing

• Provides routing of IP at media speed; supports static routes, RIP, RIPv2, and OSPF

Router redundancy (XRRP)

• Allows groups of 2 routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments

IP multicast routing (PIM Dense)

• Routes IP multicast using the PIM Dense routing protocol

IP multicast (data-driven IGMPv3)

• Automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic

HP switch meshing

• Dynamically load-balances across multiple active redundant links to increase available aggregate bandwidth

802.1s Multi-Instance Spanning Tree

• High link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees

Web-based authentication

• Similar to 802.1X, provides a browser-based environment to authenticate clients that do not support the 802.1X supplicant

Access control lists (ACLs)

• Provide IP layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number

VLAN support and tagging

• Support complete 802.1Q (4,096 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously

802.1v Protocol VLANs

• Isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs

Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)

• Automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs

Port security

• Prevents unauthorized access using MAC address lockdown

Secure access to manage the 5300xl series

• All access methods—CLI, GUI, or MIB—are securely encrypted through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3

Static NAT

• Hide up to 32 nodes per switch from the rest of the network through static IP address translation

Layer 4 prioritization

• Enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP ports

Traffic prioritization (802.1p)

• Allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels

Rate limiting

• Per port, per queue: ingress and egress guaranteed minimums, ingress enforced maximums

Class of Service (CoS)

• Sets 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), L3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ

RMON, XRMON, sFLow, and SMON

• Provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)

• Enables real-time mapping of nodes to switch ports

Hot-swappable modules

• Permit modules and mini-GBICs to be added or swapped without interrupting the network

Dual flash images

• Provide independent primary and secondary OS files for backup while upgrading

Optional redundant power supply

• Provides uninterrupted power

Lifetime warranty

• For as long as you own the product with next-business-day advance replacement (available in most countries)
