Secondly which switches are more in secured form for network security.

Hi shelendra1jain,

Deciding which switches to get really depends on the functionality you require, do you require specific QoS features? specific authentication mechanisms?

A switch is only as secure as the network admin makes it. Take a look at the HP switch portfolio and look at the feature sets of the L2 switches. From the perspective of VLANing, all the HP managed switches will have this functionality, so take some time to understand what you require and make your decision based your "security" criteria.

HTH.
