The HP E6600 Switch Series consists of the most advanced data center server edge switches in the HP Networking product line. The E6600 series includes 10/100/1000Base-T and 10-GbE SFP+ 1U rack-mount switches enhanced for server edge connectivity with front-to-back (reversible) airflow, redundant hot-swappable power, and redundant hot-swappable fans. The foundation for all of these switches is a purpose-built, programmable ProVision ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and security, to be implemented in a scalable yet granular fashion. With a variety of connectivity interfaces and expanded buffering, the E6600 switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment and reduced operational expense.

Front-to-back airflow: designed to be co-located at the top of a server rack, the E6600 series supports front-to-back airflow (mechanically reversible) to support hot aisle/cold aisle configurations; the N+N fan tray is also hot-swappable, allowing easy replacement in the rack |
| • |
Modular internal power supplies: supports redundant, hot-swappable power supply configurations (units ship with one supply); power load is shared across dual supplies |
| • |
Server-to-switch distributed trunking: supports Layer 2 LACP groups from a single server across two different switches for active-active server NIC teaming configurations |
| • |
Power down idle ports: power down blocks of idle Gigabit and 10-GbE ports to save power; idle ports can be reinitialized without rebooting; available on E6600-24XG, E6600-48G, and E6600-48G-4XG models |
| • |
Out-of-band management: remotely monitors and manages switch via Ethernet out-of-band management port; eliminates need for terminal server network; available on E6600-24XG, E6600-48G, and E6600-48G-4XG models |
| • |
Remote Intelligent Mirroring: mirrors ingress/egress ACL-selected traffic from a switch port or VLAN to a local or remote E8200 zl, E6600, E6200 yl, E5400 zl, or E3500 switch port anywhere on the network |
| • |
RMON, XRMON, and sFlow v5: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events |
| • |
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD): monitors cable between two switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if the cable is broken turning the bi-directional link into uni-directional; this prevents network problems such as loops |
| • |
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping by network management applications |
| • |
Management simplicity: common networking features and CLI implementation (common across HP E8200 zl, E6600, E6200 yl, E5400 zl, and E3500 switches) |
| • |
IPv6: IPv6 host: enables switches to be managed and deployed at the IPv6 network’s edge. Dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6): transitions from IPv4 to IPv6, supporting connectivity for both protocols . MLD snooping: forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface. IPv6 ACL/QoS: supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic, preventing traffic flooding. IPv6 routing: supports static and OSPFv3 (requires Premium License) routing protocols. |
| • |
Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports |
| • |
Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services |
| • |
High-speed/capacity architecture: based on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs to provide superior system performance and scalability |
| • |
Selectable queue configurations: increase performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of your network applications |
