Description
Overview
The HP MSR900 router series is a component of the HP FlexBranch module of the HP FlexNetwork architecture. HP MSR900 series routers deliver integrated routing, switching, security, and 802.11b/g wireless LAN in a single box for secure, reliable small branch connectivity. These routers are perfect “branch-in-a-box” appliances that deliver converged network solutions, including data, voice and video, IPv6 support, and robust Quality of Service (QoS), and help ensure that they can handle both current enterprise networking applications as well as the future connectivity and capacity demands of an HP FlexNetwork architecture. Additionally, a standards-based design provides complete interoperability in multivendor environments.
Features
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
Packet storm protection: protects against broadcast, multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds
Performance
Excellent forwarding performance: provides forwarding performance up to 100 Kpps; meets current and future bandwidth-intensive application demands for enterprise businesses
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: fully supports standard IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol for faster convergence, and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
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
