Includes:: software-defined network (SDN) capabilities with Open Flow 1.3 support for future proofing your network. Limited Lifetime Warranty 2.0 with 3 years 24x 7 phone support & no software licensing required. Powerful Performance with Higher Levels of Security The 5500 HI Switch Series provides higher levels of security with hardware-based, wire-speed access control lists (ACLs). Provides simple administration without impacting network performance offering feature-rich TCAM-based ACL implementation. Non-blocking architecture delivers up to 224 Gbps of wire-speed switching with a non-blocking switching fabric & up to 167 million pps throughput. Robust Quality of Service The HP 5500 HI Switch Series supports advanced classifier-based Qo S which classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, & 4 information; applies Qo S policies such as setting priority level & rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or whole switch. Creates traffic classes based on ACLs, IEEE 802.1p precedence, IP, & DSCP or Type of Service (To S) precedence; supports filter, redirect, mirror, or remark. Get extensive traffic prioritization with congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), weighted random early discard (WRED), weighted deficit round robin (WDRR), SP+WDRR, & SP+WFQ. Comprehensive Security Control & a Single View of the Network The HP 5500 HI Switch Series supports flexible authentication methods including 802.1X, MAC, & Web Authentication for greater security & policy-driven application authentication. Offers identity-driven security & access control with automatic VLAN assignment & per-user ACLs allow access to specific network services without risking network security. Security features include: IP source guard, DHCPv 6 snooping, STP BPDU port protection, RADIUS/HWTACACS, & SSL. Can be seamlessly managed with HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) to provide end-to-end network transparency with consistent network experience through comprehensive configuration, compliance & policy management. RMON, & s Flow provide advanced monitoring & reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms & events.
