Overview

The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5150 HI is a family of stackable L3 access switches powered by HPE Comware 9 delivering scalability and resiliency for medium and large enterprise campus networks.With 8, 24, and 48 gigabit ports, options for mixed copper and fiber connectivity, and up to 30 watts of 802.3at PoE per port this flexible series is ready to connect your edge clients, servers, and IoT devices. Builtin 10 GbE uplinks and Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) stacking up to 9- members adds scale, resiliency, and simplification to your access network, enabling network operators to manage the whole stack as a single logical switch.Network visibility, management, and operation tools for this series include standard CLI and the Smart Management Center (SmartMC), embedded and ready to use at no additional cost. The series integrates with HPE Aruba Networking IMC, delivering a centralized point of control for your entire network.Features | Scalable L3 Access SwitchesThe HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5150 EI delivers scalability and enhances reliability of the network with Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology. IRF stacking enables virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two or more switches perform as a single L2 switch and L3 router.IRF stacking enhances performance and reliability with uninterrupted L2 switching and L3 forwarding and reduces operational complexity with simpler, flatter, and more agile networks.Four fixed 10 GbE uplinks (SFP, SFP+, and 10 GBASE-T) deliver performance for bandwidth intensive applications.Link redundancy with support for Spanning Tree (MSTP, RSTP) and Smart Link protocols for highly available links.Supports 10 GbE uplinks, static and RIP routing, PoE+, ACLs, and IPv6 for improved and costeffective network performance.Performance with Quality of Service (QoS) The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5150 HI is engineered with nonblocking architecture for low-latency switching. It supports advanced classifier based Quality of Service (QoS) to group traffic, set priority levels, and rate limit selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or entire switch.It provides traffic prioritization with supported congestion actions including: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), weighted random early detection (WRED), and SP+WRR queuing and traffic policing with Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate.Reduce unwanted network traffic with broadcast control and limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic.Security with Comprehensive Control HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5150 HI supports flexible authentication methods including 802.1X, MAC Authentication and Encryption for greater device security and policy-driven app authentication. Per-user Access Control Lists (ACLs) provide identity-driven security and access control.Centralized security policy management and network protection with IMC End User Admission Domination (EAD) which integrates security policies, network access control, and access right control policies to form a cooperative security system.ACLs provide IP Layer 2 to Layer 4 traffic filtering while supporting global ACL, VLAN ACL, port ACL, and IPv6 ACL.
