Options

• 410916-B21 Qty. 1 Cisco Blade Switch 3020 for HP c-Class BladeSystem
• 378929-B21 Qty. 1 1000BASE SX Fiber SFP Module (maximum of four per blade)

Security

• VLAN – Virtual Local Area Network is a logical network topology configured on top of a physical network topology which conserves bandwidth and improves security by limiting traffic to specific groups of devices.
• Supports Cisco’s Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS) which prevents unauthorized network access and insures that users get only their designated privileges.
• Compatible with Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) so that user security profiles and authentication follow the user regardless of where they connect on the network.
• Access Control Lists (ACL’s) are maintained in hardware for maximum performance and can be used to guard against denial-of-service and other attacks.

• Cisco IOS-networking integrated directly into the HP BladeSystem server architecture joins the fabric of the Cisco infrastructure with HP’s computing fabric.
