The HP E6200-24G-mGBIC yl Switch is an advanced Layer 3 stackable switch in 1U height. It has 24 mini-GBIC slots and an expansion slot for an optional 4-port 10-GbE module. Designed to be deployed as an aggregator of traffic from the edge to the core of the network, this switch supports a variety of Gigabit mini-GBICs, such as SX, LX, LH, and 1000Base-T. The foundation for this switch is a purpose-built 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 its high-performance architecture, 10-GbE capability, and programmable ASIC, this switch offers excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability.

- 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. Layer 4 prioritization: enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers. Traffic prioritization: allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues. Bandwidth shaping: Port-based rate limiting: provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced maximum bandwidth. Classifier-based rate limiting: uses access control list (AC

- Remote intelligent mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote HP E8200 zl, E6600, E6200 yl, E5400 zl, or E3500 switch anywhere on the network. RMON, XRMON, and sFlow: provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events. IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping by network management applications. Command authorization: leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's

- IPv6: IPv6 host: enables switches to be managed and deployed at the IPv6 network's edge. Dual stack (IPv4/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 routing protocols . Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, they allow high-performance remote backup and disaster recovery services.

- High-speed/capacity architecture: 105.6 Gbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra- and inter-module switching with 75.7 million pps throughput on the purpose-built Provision ASICs. Selectable queue configurations: allow you to increase performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of your network applications.
