7 HP ProCurve 6400cl

The HP ProCurve 6400cl is a 6-port 10-GbE (CX4 Ports) interconnect with full Layer 3 features.

The ProCurve 6400cl offers low-cost 10-GbE for high-performance aggregation of clusters of

Gigabit switches. Features of the ProCurve 6400cl include:

•

The Switch 6400cl-6XG has six fixed copper slots to support 10-GbE connectivity to other

switch boxes, to a 10-GbE concentrator or to any Ethernet compatible uplink.

•

One slot (optional cl module slot) is provided in the back of the device to support a series

of transceivers to provide box connectivity to other switch boxes, to a 10-GbE concentrator

or to any Ethernet compatible uplink.

•

One auxiliary port is provided.

•

The Series 6400cl Switch devices can be connected to a ProCurve RPS/EPS (J8168A) and

receive full redundant power if the internal power supply in the switch fails. The RPS/EPS

unit will immediately provide all the power necessary to keep the switch running.

•

Plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the network cables to active

network devices and your switched network is operational.

•

Easy management of the switch through several available interfaces:

—

Console Interface

: A full featured, easy to use, VT-standalone terminal interface that

is especially good for out-of-band switch management or for Telnet access to the switch.

—

Web Browser Interface

: An easy to use built-in graphical interface that can be accessed

from common web browsers.

•

Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops.

•

Support for IEEE 802.1Q-compatible VLANs so you can divide the attached end nodes into

logical groupings that fit your business needs.

•

Support for many advanced features to enhance network performance (for a description,

see the

Management and Configuration Guide

, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that

is included with your switch.

•

Download of new switch software for product enhancements or bug fixes.
