Features and Benefits
Software-Defined Networks
OpenFlow
Supports OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.3 specifications to enable SDN by allowing separation of knowledge paths (packet forwarding) and control (routing decision)
Fully flexible OpenFlow
Create custom OpenFlow pipelines (render stages) on-demand to support new SDNs applications (requires v3 modules) Unified wired and wireless
ClearPass Policy Manager
Supports unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager
HTTP redirect function
Supports HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solution
Change automatic settings
Automatically configure the switch for various settings like VLAN, CoS, PoE max power, and PoE priority when Aruba AP is detected
User role
A set of switch-based policies in areas like security, authentication, and QoS. A user
The role is often assigned to a gaggle of users or devices through switch settings or ClearPass
Tunneled node per port
Provide a secure tunnel to hold network traffic by the port to Aruba Controller. Authentication and network policies are going to be enforced and enforced at the controller.
Quality of Service (QoS)
Advanced QoS supported classifiers
Classifies traffic using various matching criteria supported information from layers 2, 3, and 4; apply QoS policies like setting priority level and rate limit for selected traffic on a port or per VLAN base
Traffic prioritization
Allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels assigned to eight queues
Shape bandwidth
- Port-based frequency capping provides increased bandwidth enforced per input/output per port
- Rate limiting supported classifiers uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce higher bandwidth for inbound traffic on each port
- Reduced bandwidth provides reduced bandwidth per port and per output queue
Class of Service (CoS)
Sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag supported IP address, IP sort of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP / UDP port number, source port, and DiffServ administration
Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
Simplify switch infrastructure setup using Aruba Activate or DHCP process with AirWave Network Management
New IP SLA for voice
Monitor voice traffic quality with UDP Jitter and UDP Jitter for VoIP (requires v3 modules)
Remote smart mirror
Mirrors selected inbound / outbound traffic supported ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to an area or HPE 8200 zl, 6600, 6200 yl, 5400 zl, 5400R, 3500, or 3800 remote located switch
Connectivity
IEEE 802.3az Low Power Ethernet
Reduces power consumption in periods of low link usage (v2 zl 10/100/1000 compliant and 10/100 modules)
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Provides up to fifteen .4 W per port to PoE devices that suits IEEE 802.3af, like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus
Provides up to 30 W per port, for up to 288 ports simultaneously, for PoE and PoE + devices, like IP video phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, and pan/zoom/tilt security cameras
pre-standard PoE support
Detects and powers pre-standard PoE devices
Performance
High-speed, high-capacity architecture
2Tbps crossbar switching fabric provides intro module and inter-module switching with 785.7 million PPS of throughput on specially designed ProVision ASICs
Selectable queue settings
Allows higher performance by selecting the number of queues and partners memory buffering that best meets the wants of network applications
Resilience and high availability
Virtual Switching Frame (VSF)
Create a resilient virtual switch from two switches; servers or switches are often connected
using standard LACP for automatic load balancing and high availability; simplify the network
operation by reducing the necessity for complex protocols like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP), and VRRP (requires v3 modules)
New rapid software update
Reduce VSF stack downtime during an upgrade by sequentially updating the members on the stack reducing downtime to a couple of seconds (requires v3 modules)
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
Allows groups of two routers to dynamically copy one another to make high availability routed environments for IPv4 and IPv6 networks
Uninterrupted change
Improves network availability to raised support critical applications like unified. communication and mobility; The interface and fabric modules still change traffic during. Active Management Module Failover to Standby
