Vancouver HP Network configuration, support & sales

Netdigix Offers Consulting, Service and Sales of HP products for business. We can design and configure your hp switched and routed network from ground up. Netdigix can help you integrate any HP equipment into your existing network.

HP Switch features and configuration

Resiliency and high availability
Advanced Spanning Tree functionality: single-instance STP, Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST), Per VLAN Group Spanning Tree (PVGST), Rapid Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1w), and Multi-Instance Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1s) all provide improved availability and scalability for Spanning Tree-based networks

Port trunking: for higher switch-to-switch and switch-to-server throughput and link-level redundancy, with support for standards-based link aggregation (IEEE 802.1ad)

Optional redundant power supply: provides uninterrupted power

Hot-swappable modules: permit modules and mini-GBICs to be added or swapped without interrupting the network

Automatic routing switch failover: provides hot-standby redundancy using standards-based VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol)

Optional redundant management: provides automatic failover from the active management module to the standby management module for high availability

Security
Advanced access security: protection against denial-of-service attacks; unauthorized network access and associated downtime are avoided using Secure Shell v2, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Copy, wire-speed rate limiting, and user authentication (with AAA, RADIUS, and TACACS+)

Layer 2 switching
IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP: automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic

Layer 3 routing
Multi-Protocol Border Gateway Protocol (MBGP): allows support of separate unicast and multicast routing topologies for more effective network utilization

Wire-speed IPv4 and IPv6 routing and switching: support for IPv4 and IPv6 protocols and services, including IPv4 to IPv6 transition technologies, provides investment protection for transition to IPv6

IP multicast routing: provides DVMRP, PIM Dense, and PIM Sparse support in routed environments to control multicast traffic

Policy-based routing: control network usage by setting access control list (ACL)-based policies that determine which type of traffic takes which path through the network

Quality of Service (QoS)
Advanced traffic flow management: allows administrators to prioritize traffic flows and to enforce or change traffic priority based on port, VLAN, source MAC, ACL, 802.1p, Type of Service (ToS), or DiffServ settings to enhance QoS on delay-sensitive applications

Manageability
Dedicated 10/100 management port: allows secure access for switch management by separating management traffic from the general LAN and providing the option to disable management access from global LAN ports

Full-featured console: provides complete control of the switch with a familiar command-line interface (CLI)

Web interface: allows you to configure the switch from any Web browser on the network

Monitor and diagnostics
sFlow (RFC 3176) : provides scalable, ASIC-based, wire-speed network monitoring and accounting with no impact on network performance; this allows network operators to gather a variety of sophisticated network statistics and information for capacity planning and real-time network monitoring purposes
