Product overviewThe HP 7500 Switch Series comprises modular, multilayer chassis switches that meet the evolving needs of integrated servicesnetworks and can be deployed in multiple network environments, including the enterprise LAN core, aggregation layer, and wiringcloset edge. The series switches offer 40 GbE connectivity and cost-effective, wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports to safeguard thethroughput and bandwidth needed for your mission-critical data and high-speed communications. A passive backplane, support forload sharing, and redundant management and fabrics help the series provide high availability. Moreover, these switches deliver wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing services for the most demanding applications with hardware-based IPv4 and IPv6 support.HP 7502 Switch ChassisKey featuresVersatile, high-performance modular switchesEnterprise LAN core, aggregation, and edgeExtensive switching and routing, IPv6, MPLSAdvanced functionality with service modulesRobust network and service virtualizationFeatures and benefitsQuality of Service (QoS)IEEE 802.1p prioritization: delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of trafficClass of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDPport number, source port, and DiffServBandwidth shaping:Port-based rate limiting: provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced increased bandwidthClassifier-based rate limiting: uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce increased bandwidth for ingress traffic on eachportQuickSpecs HP 7500 Switch SeriesOverviewDA - 13805 North America — Version 29 — December 9, 2013 Page 1
