The HP MSR30 router series is a component of the HP FlexBranch solution, which is part of the HP FlexNetwork architecture. MSR30 series routers are ideal for medium to large enterprise branch and regional offices. They provide unmatched performance, integrated routing, switching, security, wireless, and voice services with a rich set of modular WAN/LAN connectivity options in a single device to reduce operating and capital costs and simplify complexity. HP MSR30 series routers are purpose-built routing platforms that deliver embedded applications, enhanced security, and performance acceleration, as well as support a wide range of flexible LAN, WAN, and voice interface options to enable remote users in branch locations to securely and reliably access enterprise applications and corporate resources. - Traffic policing: supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate - Management interface control: provides management access through modem port and terminal interface; provides access through terminal interface, telnet, or SSH - High-density port connectivity: provides up to 10 interface module slots and up to 90 Fast Ethernet ports - Excellent forwarding performance: provides forwarding performance from 220 Kpps to 360 Kpps; meets current and future bandwidth-intensive application demands of enterprise businesses - Backup Center: acts as a part of the management and backup function to provide backup for device interfaces; delivers reliability by switching traffic over to a backup interface when the primary one fails - Spanning Tree Protocol: fully supports standard IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol for faster convergence, and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol - Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet; supports static ARPs; gratuitous ARP allows detection of duplicate IP addresses; proxy ARP allows normal ARP operation between subnets or when subnets are separated by a Layer 2 network
