Product description
The HPE A5120G SI Switch Series are intelligent, manageable Gigabit Ethernet switches that provide high performance, high-density port access, and simplified installation to maximize the value of your network infrastructure investment. They are typically deployed at the access layer in enterprise networks that require Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop or at the distribution layer in metropolitan area networks (MANs). Wire-speed forwarding delivers optimal throughput and the bandwidth necessary for mission-critical data and high-speed communications. As part of their comprehensive security control, they employ 802.1x authentication to identify users who attempt to access the network. These switches are highly reliable, providing redundancy while eliminating loops in the network. They also offer a range of management protocols to simplify network administration.
Product features
- Broadcast control
Allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted broadcast traffic on the network. Powerful QoS feature: supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, SDWRR, and SP+SDWRR. Advanced classifier-based QoS: classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port basis. - Friendly port names
Allow assignment of descriptive names to ports. Remote configuration and management: is available through a secure Web browser or a command-line interface (CLI). Manager and operator privilege levels: enable read-only (operator) and read-write (manager) access on CLI and Web browser management interfaces. Command authorization: leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail. Secure Web GUI: provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS. - Auto-MDIX
Automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports. Flow control: using standard IEEE 802.3x, it provides back pressure to reduce congestion in heavy traffic situations. Jumbo packet support: supports up to 10k byte frame size to improve performance of large data transfers. High-density port connectivity: provides up to 48 fixed 10/100/1000Base-T ports in an entry-level static Layer 3 switch. - Nonblocking architecture
Up to 104 Gbps nonblocking switching fabric provides wire-speed switching with up to 77.4 million pps throughput. Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists (ACLs): feature-rich ACL implementation (TCAM based) helps ensure high levels of security and ease of administration without impacting network performance.
