Product overview
The HP 6600 Switch Series consists of advanced data center server edge switches. The 6600 Switch Series includes 10/100/1000BASE-
T and 10GbE SFP+ 1U rackmount switches enhanced for server edge connectivity with front-to-back (reversible) airflow, redundant
hot-swappable power, and redundant hot-swappable fans. The foundation for the switch series 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 connectivity interfaces and expanded buffering, the HP 6600 Switch Series offers
excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment and reduced operational expense.
Features and benefits
NEW
Software-defined networking
OpenFlow
is a key technology enabling software-defined networking by allowing the separation of data (packet forwarding) and control
(routing decision) paths
Quality of Service (QoS)
Layer 4 prioritization
enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
Class of Service (CoS)
sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source
port, and DiffServ
Bandwidth shaping:
Port-based rate limiting: provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced increased bandwidth
Classifier-based rate limiting: uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce increased bandwidth for ingress traffic on each
port
Reduced bandwidth: provides per-port, per-queue egress-based reduced bandwidth
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
Traffic prioritization
allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
