Product description
The HPE A5120G EI Switch series are Gigabit Ethernet switches that support static Layer 3 routing, diversified services, and IPv6 forwarding and provide up to four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) extended interfaces. Unique Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology creates virtual fabric by virtualizing several switches into one logical device, which increases network resilience, performance, and availability while reducing operational complexity. These switches provide Gigabit Ethernet access and can be used at the edge of a network or to connect server clusters in data centers. High scalability provides investment protection with two expansion slots, each of which can support two-port 10 GbE expansion modules. High availability, simplified management, and comprehensive security control policies are among the key features that distinguish this series.
Product features
- Broadcast control
Broadcast control allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted broadcast traffic on the network. - Advanced classifier-based QoS
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 port, VLAN, or whole switch. - Powerful QoS feature
Powerful QoS feature supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), and SP+WRR. Traffic policing: supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate. - Friendly port names
Friendly port names allow assignment of descriptive names to ports. - Command authorization
Command authorization leverages HWTACACS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail. - Secure Web GUI
Secure Web GUI provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS. - Auto-MDIX
Auto-MDIX automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports. - Flow control
Flow control using standard IEEE 802.3x, it provides back pressure to reduce congestion in heavy traffic situations. - High-density connectivity
High-density connectivity provides up to 48 fixed 10/100/1000Base-T ports in a Layer 2/Layer 3 switch. - Nonblocking architecture
Nonblocking architecture up to 176 Gbps nonblocking switching fabric provides wire-speed switching with up to 130 million pps throughput. - Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists (ACLs)
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.
