Page 5: Background
This guide covers the following Hewlett-Packard switch products: HP ProCurve Switch 5308xl (J4819A) The HP ProCurve Switch 5308xl is a 5U wire speed Layer 2/3/4 eight slot chassis switch targeted primarily at high performance access tier applications. The HP ProCurve Switch 5308xl provides up to 32 Gigabit Ethernet ports or 192 10/100-TX with HP Auto-MDI-X ports. -
Page 6: Hp Procurve Adaptive Edge Architecture
HP ProCurve’s current products, including the HP ProCurve Switch 5300 Series. With its HP developed ASICs, the 5300 series delivers a broad range of Layer 2, 3 and 4 features for control to the edge. The 5300 series is cost effective at the edge and can be coupled with the 9300 series core switches or used to create a distributed core in a network comprised entirely of 5300 series switches in a meshed –... -
Page 7: Hp Switch Positioning
The HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series meets the needs of the sophisticated access tier implementation. Other switches in the HP ProCurve switch product line cover the needs of the lower end access tier, as well as distribution and core areas of the network. -
Page 8: Positioning For The Hp Procurve Switch 5308Xl
The HP ProCurve Switch 5308xl is the same as the HP ProCurve Switch 5304xl, except that it holds up to 8 modules in a 5U rack space, giving it a higher port density and greater throughput than the HP ProCurve Switch 5304xl. For some customers the HP ProCurve Switch 5308xl can also be used as a distribution switch. -

2.2 Architecture 2.2.1 Hardware Architecture Summary The HP ProCurve Switch 5304xl has 4 identical slots, while the HP ProCurve Switch 5308xl has eight. Any of the Switch 5300xl modules can be put in any of the slots. The switch architecture is based on 2 different HP designed ASICs: the Network or N-Chip, and the Fabric or F-Chip. -
Page 12: Classification And Lookup
This programmable functionality was originally designed and implemented in the popular HP ProCurve Switch 4000M switch family and was used to give the HP ProCurve Switch 4000M new ASIC-related features well after initial release of the product. Customers with existing units could benefit from the new features via a free software download. -

2.3 High Availability 2.3.1 IP Routing IP routing on the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series is done in the ASIC at wire speed by the user defining VLANs and then specifying routing between them. Some of the IP services available are: •... -

Layer 2 environment. While the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series can perform Layer 3 routing, there is an easier solution in Switch Meshing, which is described in the next section. -
Page 15: Switch Meshing (Lan Aggregation)
Tree requires links to be available that are not being used for data, letting available bandwidth go unused. Although RSTP and STP are supported by the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series, Switch Meshing is superior since all available links are used between switches. With Switch Meshing, the switch selects the best traffic path for each new destination end-node it learns based on dynamically determined latency on each of the possible paths to the node. -

5300, making any switch-over transparent to the end nodes. An XRRP interface failure is defined as the inability of the master physical interface in the 5300 pair to be heard by the backup interface. This could be caused by a cable failure, module failure, whole 5300 failure, or operator error (such as a disconnected cable). -
Page 17: Prioritization / Qos
HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series Reviewer’s Guide • If a 5300 Management VLAN is enabled it cannot be defined as an XRRP interface – SNMP management requests to a particular 5300 need to go to that physical switch regardless of fail-over status. -
Page 18: Ieee 802.1P Priority Support
802.1Q standard. 2.4.4 Diffserv / TOS Support As mentioned in the Classifiers section above, the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series provide very flexible control of the diffserv (DSCP) bits. Mapping of each of the 64 possible DSCPs can specify an 802.1p priority, as well as a new DSCP for the outbound packet. -
Page 19: End-To-End Qos
99 Standard ACLs, which are defined as ACLs that are based only on source IP addresses. The 5300 can also have up to 99 Extended ACLs, which are defined as ACLs based on any of the other parameters listed above. Up to a total of 1024 ACEs can be used to specify the 5300 ACLs. -
Page 20: Static Filters
Logging of permitted packets is not supported. The 5300 ACL logging is primarily useful for troubleshooting. ACLs, being a Layer 3 service in the 5300, are only executed for packets that are routed, crossing a VLAN/router boundary. They have no effect on packets that are being switched in a Layer 2 environment. -
Page 21: Radius Server Accounting
One way to close this shortfall is to use the Port Security MAC Address Lockdown feature on the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series, which is described in a following section. -
Page 22: Tacacs+ Authentication
The session key pair is used to authenticate the SSH session. A new key pair is used for each SSH session. Keys are kept in RAM and are lost on power-cycle or reboot. When the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series is rebooted, new session key pairs are generated. With a key pair taking about 12 seconds to generate, 10 keys are generated on boot up and placed in a cache to prevent delays when starting up SSH sessions rapidly in succession. -
Page 23: Ssl - Secure Sockets Layer
HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series Reviewer’s Guide 2.5.6 SSL – Secure Sockets Layer SSL can be used to encrypt the exchange between a web browser and the 5300 switch when using the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series web GUI. A facility is provided on the GUI interface to generate a self-signed RSA certificate for use during a SSL browser session. -
Page 24: Bandwidth Management
The HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series support 36 port trunks of up to 4 physical links each. There are 3 ways to configure which ports on the switch participate in trunks: LACP (802.3ad), Cisco Fast ®... -
Page 25: Vlans
VLANs in end user environments is now largely done for network policy or security reasons. For the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series, VLANs are also used to provide entities to which to attach the router functionality. All routing in the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series is defined to be between VLANs. -
Page 26: Igmp
Configuration of this feature is a single check box to turn it on. The HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series supports IGMP version 3 by recognizing and processing IGMPv3 joins. Version 3 is backwards compatible with versions 1 and 2. -
Page 27: Rmon Support
If more RMON groups (such as packet capture) are desired, a RMON probe can be attached to one of the HP ProCurve 5300xl ports and Port Monitoring can be configured. Port Monitoring allows the end user to copy all traffic, inbound and outbound, from any number of ports, even those on different subnets within the switch, to a single destination port. -

Page 31: Performance
These tests show the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series to be wire-speed on all ports simultaneously. The 5300 is the only chassis in its price range that is wire-speed on all ports simultaneously at Layer 2 or Layer 3. -
Page 32: 100Bt Ports
The latency figures for the HP ProCurve Switch 5300xl Series are low. Latencies this low will not be a factor in general network operation, even with streaming video or VoIP applications. -
