The ProCurve Switch 6108 is a low cost, stackable, multilayer, managed 8-port switch with 6 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 ports and 2 dual-personality ports for 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC connectivity. With layer 3 basic IP routing, industry-leading lifetime warranty, and free end-user telephone and e-mail support, the Switch 6108 is ideal for access tier aggregation with 2 optional Gigabit fiber uplinks to connect at distances up to 70 km.
Performance
• 16 Gbps backplane: non-blocking architecture for wire-speed throughput
Connectivity
• Dual-personality functionality: two 10/100/1000 ports or mini-GBIC slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH
Resiliency and high availability
• 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol: increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links
Layer 2 switching
• VLAN support and tagging: supports up to 30 port-based VLANs, GVRP, and 802.1Q VLAN tagging
Layer 3 Routing
• Basic IP routing: enables automatic routing to the connected VLANs and up to 16 static routes--including one default route in IP networks
Security
• IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS network login: control port-based access for authentication and accountability
Quality of Service
• Traffic prioritization (802.1p): allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels mapped to 4 queues
