HP E8212 zl Switch Base System
The HP E8200 zl Switch Series offers high performance, scalability, and a wide range of features in a high-availability platform that dramatically reduces complexity and provides reduced cost of ownership. As part of a unified wired and wireless network infrastructure solution, the E8200 zl series provides platform technology, system software, system management, application integration, wired and wireless integration, network security, and support that are common across the HP E Series of modular and fixed-port switches. Together, they deliver an agile, cost-effective, high-availability network solution. With key technologies to provide solution longevity, the E8200 zl switch series is built to deliver long-term investment protection without added complexity for network core, aggregation, and high-availability access layer deployments. It provides these capabilities while bringing to market the industry's first highly available switch with a lifetime warranty.
Quality of Service (QoS)
• 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
HP AllianceONE integration
• HP AllianceONE Services zl Module: allows customers to embed applications directly into the network, either distributed throughout the network at the network edge, or centralized in the core or distribution layer; for more information about the HP AllianceONE solution, visit the HP website
Management
• 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
Connectivity
• High-density port connectivity: provides 12 interface module slots, up to 288 wire-speed 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled ports, or 96 10-GbE ports per system
Performance
• High-speed/capacity architecture: 1.12 Tbps crossbar switching fabric provides intra- and inter-module switching with 739.2 million pps throughput on the purpose-built ProVision ASICs
Resiliency and high availability
• Nonstop Switching: improves network availability to better support critical applications such as unified communication and mobility; interface and fabric modules continue switching traffic during failover from active to standby management module
Layer 2 switching
• HP's switch meshing: dynamically load-balances across multiple active redundant links to increase available aggregate bandwidth
