Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The HP 5400 Switch series consists of Layer 2/3/4 switches which support integrated advanced capabilities in chassis (6-slot and 12-slot) form factor and offer maximum flexibility, life time warranty and lowered TCO. The HP 8200 zl Switch Series offers high performance, scalability, and a wide range of features in a high-availability platform that dramatically reduces complexity and provides reduced cost of ownership.
