- OpenFlow: is a key technology that enables software-defined networking by allowing the separation of data (packet forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths
- 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
- Remote intelligent mirroring: mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote HPE 8200 zl, 6600, 6200 yl, 5400 zl, or 3500 Switch anywhere on the network
- 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
The HPE Switch 3500 series consists of the most advanced intelligent edge switches. The 3500 series includes 24-port and 48-port stackables. The foundation for all these switches is a purpose-built, programmable ProVision ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and security, to be implemented in a scalable yet granular fashion. With a variety of Gigabit and 10/100 interfaces, integrated PoE and Non-PoE options, 10-GbE capability on Gigabit switches, the 3500 switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment, operation, and maintenance.
