What's New Supports up to 4 modular 10 Gb E ports for uplink & stacking 24 port SFP model for flexible deployment 740W of Po E+ power Open Flow 1.3 support Limited Lifetime Warranty 2.0 with 3 years 24x 7 phone support Features Resilient, enhanced Security & Scalable Access Layer Switches The HP 5500 EI Switch Series delivers resiliency, security, & multiservice support at the edge layer of your data center & large campus networks. The HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) virtualizes up to nine physical switches into one logical device for simpler, flatter, more agile networks. The 5500 EI has IPv 6 support & fully featured L2/L3 functionality, including RIP, OSPF, ISIS, BGP, & PIM. Provides scalable stacking with modular 10 Gb E uplinks (SFP+ & 10GBASE-T) & up to 740W of Po E+ power with internal power supply.
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. Higher Network Performance The 5500 EI Switch Series is designed with hardware-based wire-speed access control lists (ACLs) to provide high levels of security & ease of administration without impacting network performance with a feature-rich TCAM-based ACL implementation. Non-blocking architecture delivers up to 192 Gbps of wire-speed switching with a non-blocking switching fabric & up to 143 million pps throughput. Powerful Quality of Service (Qo S) for Traffic Classification The HP 5500 EI 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. Provides 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 & Single View of the Network The HP 5500 EI Switch Series supports flexible authentication methods including 802.1X, MAC, & Web Authentication for greater security & policy-driven application authentication. Identity-driven security & access control with automatic VLAN assignment & per-user ACLs allows 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 experience through comprehensive configuration, compliance & policy management. RMON & s Flow provides advanced monitoring & reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, & events.
