INTCOMEX - Premiere distributor of a wide range of computer products

Product description

The HPE 5500 HI Series of Gigabit Ethernet switch delivers outstanding resiliency, security, and multiservice support capabilities at the edge layer of data center, large campus, and metro Ethernet networks. The switch can also be used in the core layer of SMB networks. The HPE 5500 HI Switch Series supports dual power supply and IRF virtual fabric to provide the highest levels of resiliency and manageability. With complete IPv4/IPv6 and MPLS/VPLS features, this series provides investment protection with an easy transition from IPv4 to IPv6 networks.

Product features

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 or per-VLAN basis.
Traffic policing
Supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate.
Storm restraint
Allows limitation of broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted broadcast traffic on the network.
Friendly port names
Allows assignment of descriptive names to ports.
Complete session logging
Provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution.
Remote configuration and management
Available through a secure web browser or a command-line interface (CLI).
Manager and operator privilege levels
Enables read-only (operator) and read-write (manager) access on CLI and web browser management interfaces.
Management VLAN
Segments traffic to and from management interfaces, including CLI/telnet, a web browser interface, and SNMP.
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 SNMPv1, v2c, and v3: facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices.
Remote monitoring (RMON)
Uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group.
Remote intelligent mirroring
Mirrors ingress/egress ACL-selected traffic from a switch port or VLAN to a local or remote switch port anywhere on the network.
Auto-MDIX
Automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports.
Packet storm protection
Protects against broadcast, multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds.
Ethernet OAM
Provides a Layer 2 link performance and fault detection monitoring tool, which reduces failover and network convergence times.
Flow control
Using standard IEEE 802.3x, it provides back pressure to reduce congestion in heavy traffic situations.
Jumbo packet support
Supports up to 9216-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers.
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.
Separate data and control paths
Keeps control separated from services and keeps service processing isolated; increases security and performance.
Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP)
Monitors link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected, preventing loops in STP-based networks.
Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP)
Connects multiple switches in a high-performance ring using standard Ethernet technology; traffic can be rerouted around the ring in less than 50 ms, reducing the impact on traffic and applications.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
Allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments.
Dual flash images
Provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading.
Multiple configuration files
Allows multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image.
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
Automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping using network management applications.
IPv6 management
Future-proofs networking, as the switch is capable of being managed whether the attached network is running IPv4 or IPv6; supports pingv6, tracertv6, Telnetv6, TFTPv6, DNSv6, and ARPv6.
