Hewlett Packard Enterprise A 5830AF-96G L2 Zwart 1U

The HP 5830AF Switch Series is a family of high-density 1 GbE top-of-rack data center and campus switches that are a part of the HP FlexFabric solution module of the HP FlexNetwork architecture. The two models, the 5830AF-48G and 5830AF-96G switches, are ideally suited for deployments at the server access layer in medium-sized and large enterprise data centers and campus networks. The HP 5830AF-48G Switch delivers 48 1-GbE ports and up to four 10-GbE ports in a space-saving 1RU package, while the HP 5830AF-96G Switch provides an industry-leading 96 1-GbE ports and up to 10 10-GbE uplink ports in a 2RU form factor.

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic policing: supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate


Management

• sFlow (RFC 3176): provides scalable ASIC-based wire-speed network monitoring and accounting with no impact on network performance; this allows network operators to gather a variety of sophisticated network statistics and information for capacity planning and real-time network monitoring purposes


Connectivity

• Jumbo frames: on Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit ports, jumbo frames allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services


Performance

• Extraordinarily high port density: the HP 5830AF-96G Switch is a single box-type switch that can provide 96 GbE ports and 10 10-GbE ports simultaneously with full line-rate switching and forwarding


Resiliency and high availability

• Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP): monitors link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected, preventing loops in STP-based networks


Manageability

• Troubleshooting: ingress and egress port monitoring enable network problem solving


Layer 2 switching

• Spanning Tree/MSTP and RSTP: prevent network loops
