The HP A3600 EI Switch Series delivers premium levels of intelligent and resilient performance, security, and reliability for robust switching at the enterprise network edge. The series consists of Layer 2 and Layer 3 Fast Ethernet and PoE switches, with advanced features that can accommodate the most demanding applications. Secure, resilient connectivity and the latest traffic-prioritization technologies enhance converged networks. Designed for increased flexibility and scalability, HP A3600 EI series switches come with 24 or 48 10/100 ports, four active SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports for stacking and uplinks, and a 24-port 100Base-FX switch with two Gigabit Ethernet SFP slots.
| • |
Broadcast control: allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted broadcast traffic on the network |
| • |
Advanced classifier-based QoS: classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis |
| • |
Powerful QoS feature: supports the following congestion actions: strict priority queuing (SP), weighted round robin (WRR), WFQ, and WRED |
| • |
Traffic policing: supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate |
| • |
Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports |
| • |
Remote configuration and management: is available through a secure Web browser or a command-line interface (CLI) |
| • |
Manager and operator privilege levels: enable read-only (operator) and read-write (manager) access on CLI and Web browser management interfaces |
| • |
Command authorization: leverages HWTACACS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator’s login; also provides an audit trail |
| • |
Secure Web GUI: provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS |
| • |
Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports |
| • |
Jumbo packet support: supports up to 9216-byte frame size to improve performance of large data transfers |
| • |
Gigabit uplinks: dual-personality ports for either 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC SFP connectivity for increased connectivity flexibility |
| • |
High-density access: provides up to 48 fixed 10/100Base-T PoE or non-PoE ports or 24 SFP 100Base-X ports in a Layer 2/Layer 3 switch |
| • |
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE): provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras |
| • |
Gigabit Ethernet interface: provides a connection to the network that eliminates the network as a bottleneck |
| • |
Nonblocking performance: up to 17.6 Gbps nonblocking switching fabric provides wire-speed switching with up to 11.78 million pps throughput |
| • |
Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists: feature-rich ACL implementation helps ensure high levels of security and ease of administration without impacting network performance |
