Multi-Service Router A-MSR20-20

Inleiding

The HP MSR20 router series is a component of the HP FlexBranch solution, which is part of the HP FlexNetwork architecture. It features a modular design that delivers unmatched flexibility for small branch offices and small to medium-sized businesses while reducing complexity, simplifying management, and increasing control. MSR20 series routers provide a full-featured, resilient routing platform, including IPv6 and MPLS, up to 180 Kpps forwarding capacity, and 100 Mbps encryption. These products offer lasting investment protection, and help reduce capital and operating expenses. MSR20 series routers provide an agile, flexible network infrastructure that offers the ability to quickly adapt to changing business requirements while delivering integrated, concurrent services on a single, easy-to-manage platform.

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic policing: supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate


Management

• Industry-standard CLI with a hierarchical structure: reduces training time and expenses, and increases productivity in multivendor installations


Connectivity

• High-density port connectivity: provides up to 4 interface module slots and up to 18 Fast Ethernet ports


Performance

• Powerful encryption capacity: includes embedded hardware encryption accelerator to improve encryption performance


Resiliency and high availability

• Backup Center: acts as a part of the management and backup function to provide backup for device interfaces; delivers reliability by switching traffic over to a backup interface when the primary one fails


Layer 2 switching

• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): fully supports standard IEEE 802.1D STP, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for faster convergence, and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)


Layer 3 services

• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet; supports static ARPs; gratuitous ARP allows detection of duplicate IP addresses; proxy ARP allows normal ARP operation between subnets or when subnets are separated by a Layer 2 network
