Advantages of Aruba 5406r ZL2 Switch

Meanwhile, the advantages of the Aruba 5406 ZL2 are certainly many and this is the reason why this switch is very suitable for use on large networks because it includes a 3 layer switch.

Performance

Modular 3-layer switch series with VSF stacking, and Dynamic Segmentation with low latency and 40GbE wired speeds for wireless network traffic aggregation.

Connectivity

• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces power consumption in periods of low link usage (supported on 10/100/1000 and 10/100) v2 zl modules
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras
• IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus provides up to 30 W per port, up to 288 ports simultaneously, for PoE and PoE+ powered devices, such as IP video phones, IEEE 802.11n wireless access points, and pan/zoom/ tilt security cameras
• Prestandard PoE support detects and provides power to prestandard PoE devices
• High-density port connectivity provides up to 12 interface module slots and up to 288 wired speed 10/100/1000 PoE ports or 96 10GbE ports per system
• Jumbo frames on Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, jumbo frames enable high-performance remote backup and disaster recovery services
• Auto-MDIX provides automatic adjustment for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 . ports
• IPv6
• IPv6 hosts allow switches to be managed within an IPv6 network
• Dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) transitions IPv4 to IPv6, supporting connectivity for both protocols
• MLD snooping forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface
• IPv6 ACL/QoS supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 traffic
• IPv6 routing supports Static Routing protocols, RIPng, OSPFv3
• 6in4 tunneling supports encapsulation of IPv6 traffic in IPv4 packets
• Security provides RA guard, DHCPv6 protection, dynamic IPv6 locking, and ND snooping

Resiliency and High Availability

• The Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) creates one virtual resilient switch from two switches; servers or switches can be installed using standard
• LACP for automatic load balancing and high availability; simplifies network operations by reducing the need for complex protocols such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP), and VRRP (requires v3 module)
• NEW Fast Software Update reduces VSF stack downtime during upgrades by sequentially increasing members in the stack reducing downtime to a few seconds (requires v3 module)
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) allows groups of two routers to dynamically support each other to create a highly available routed environment for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
• Continuous switching improves network availability to better support critical applications such as unified communications and mobility; interfaces and fabric modules continue to redirect traffic during failover from active management module to standby
• Endless routing improves Layer 3 high availability; OSPFv2/v3 and VRRP will continue to operate and route network traffic during failover from active management module to standby
• Redundant management and power provides increased system availability and continuity of operations
• The IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol provides high link availability across multiple VLAN environments by enabling multiple spanning trees; includes IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and HPE port trunking support up to 144 trunks, each with up to eight links (ports) per trunk
• Distributed trunking enables loop-free and redundant network topologies without using the Spanning Tree Protocol; allows a server or switch to connect to two switches using one logical trunk for redundancy and load sharing
• Optional redundant power supply provides uninterrupted power and allows hot-swapping of redundant power supplies when installed
• Hot-swappable modules allow different modules, and power supplies in redundant power supply configurations to be added or exchanged without disrupting the network
• Efficient simplicity HPE zl-common accessories (interface module and power supply)
• Uplink Failure Detection provides active standby network path redundancy for servers configured for active standby NIC teams
• SmartLink provides easy-to-configure link redundancy from active and standby links

Security

Aruba Dynamic Segmentation extends Aruba’s basic, wireless, and role-based policy capabilities to Aruba’s wired switches. That means regardless of how users and IoT devices are connected, consistent policies are enforced across wired and wireless networks, keeping traffic secure and segregated.
