HPE 5130 48G 4SFP+ EI Switch

HPE FlexNetwork 5130 EI Switch Series

The HPE FlexNetwork 5130 EI Switch Series comprises Gigabit Ethernet switches that support static and RIP Layer 3 routing, diversified services, and IPv6 forwarding, as well as provide four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces.

Unique Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology creates a virtual fabric by managing several switches as 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 small data centers. 

High availability, simplified management, and comprehensive security control policies are among the key features that distinguish this series.

Key features

• Fixed 10GbE ports for high-speed stacking or uplinks
• Support for multiple services
• Comprehensive security control policies
• Diversified quality of service (QoS) policies

Features and benefits

Software-defined networking

• OpenFlow : supports OpenFlow 1.3 specification to enable SDN by allowing separation of the data (packet forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Broadcast control : allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic
• 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 : 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

Connectivity

• Auto-MDIX : automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports
• Flow control : provides back pressure using standard IEEE 802.3x, reducing congestion in heavy traffic situations
• High-density connectivity : provides up to 48 fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T ports in a Layer 2/Layer 3 switch
• IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support : simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs by helping to eliminate the time and cost involved in supplying local power at each access point location
