HPE JE109A Network Switch Networking

HP E5500 switches deliver premium levels of performance, security and reliability for robust switching at the enterprise network edge. The series consists of Layer 2/3/4 Fast Ethernet and Power over Ethernet switches, with advanced features that can accommodate the most demanding applications. They offer resilient and secure connectivity and the latest traffic-prioritization technologies to optimize applications on converged networks. Designed for maximum flexibility and scalability, they come with 24 or 48 10/100 ports, plus four active SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports for stacking and uplinks. They can be stacked up to eight units high in one location—or distributed over several sites up to 70 km (43.5 miles) apart and connected via Gigabit links to form a virtual “stack.” One stack can provide up to 384 Fast Ethernet ports and may be managed centrally as a single-IP entity.

Management

• Secure Web GUI: provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS


Connectivity

• Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 ports


Manageability

• RMON: provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events


Layer 2 switching

• VLAN support and tagging: support the IEEE 802.1Q. 4094 VLAN IDs with all working simultaneously


Layer 3 routing

• Layer 3 IP routing: provides routing of IP at media speed; supports static routes, RIP, RIPv2, and OSPF


Security

• Access control lists (ACLs): provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number


Convergence

• LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): is a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones
