The HP 5500 SI Switch Series provides managed Layer 2 and Layer 3 gigabit connectivity at the edge layer of large campus networks. The 5500 SI provides modular 10GbE uplink connectivity to allow for scalable pay as you grow, network growth.
Resilient Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP), Smart Link, and Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) deliver enterprise class reliability. The HP 5500 SI Switch Series can be managed with the HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) for a single view of your entire network.
Features:
Scalable Access Layer Switches
The HP 5500 SI Switch Series delivers managed Layer 2 and Layer 3 gigabit connectivity at the edge layer of large campus networks. The HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) virtualizes up to four physical switches into one logical device for simpler, flatter, more agile networks, IPv6 support, and static routes and RIP. Provides scalable stacking with modular 10GbE uplinks (SFP+ and 10GBASE-T). Limited Lifetime Warranty 2.0 with 3 years 24x7 phone support. No software licensing required.
Quality of Service (QoS) for Traffic Control
The HP 5500 SI Switch Series supports advanced, classifier-based QoS which sorts traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information. You can apply QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or whole switch. Provides traffic prioritization with congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), and SP+WRR for increased flexibility.
Authentication Security Control
The HP 5500 SI Switch Series supports flexible authentication methods including 802.1X, MAC, and Web Authentication for greater security and policy-driven application authentication. Get identity-driven security and access control with automatic VLAN assignment and per-user ACLs allow access to specific network services without risking network security. Security features include: Port security and isolation, DHCP protection, STP BPDU port protection, and RADIUS/HWTACACS.
Single View of the Network
The HP 5500 SI Switch Series 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 and policy management. RMON, and sFlow provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events.
These Gigabit Ethernet switches deliver quad-speed performance 10/100/1000 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, as well as advanced voice-enhanced features such as auto-voice VLAN, and quality of service (QoS). As a result, they are ideal for enterprise organizations seeking to build a secure, convergence-enhanced campus network. Robust IPv6 support and 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks future-proof an enterprise network against obsolescence. Resilient Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP), smart link, and Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) deliver 50 ms switchover and carrier-class reliability.
Features:
Allow limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted broadcast traffic on the network.
Classify traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; apply QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or whole switch.
Friendly port names allow assignment of descriptive names to ports.
Remote configuration and management is available through a secure web browser or a command-line interface (CLI).
Manager and operator privilege levels enable read-only (operator) and read-write (manager) access on CLI and web browser management interfaces.
Command authorization leverages HWTACACS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail.
Secure web GUI provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS.
Multiple configuration files can be stored to the flash image.
Complete session logging provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution.
SNMPv1, v2c, and v3facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices.
Remote monitoring (RMON) uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group.
Automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping by network management applications.
Management VLAN segments traffic to and from management interfaces, including CLI/telnet, a web browser interface, and SNMP.
Remote intelligent mirroring mirrors ingress/egress ACL-selected traffic from a switch port or VLAN to a local or remote switch port anywhere on the network.
Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) monitors cable between two switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if the cable is broken, preventing network problems such as loops.
Automatically adjust for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports.
Using standard IEEE 802.3x, it provides back pressure to reduce congestion in heavy traffic situations.
Ethernet OAM provides a Layer 2 link performance and fault detection monitoring tool, which reduces failover and network convergence times.
Support up to 9216-byte frame size to improve performance of large data transfers.
When locally stacked using CX4 local stacking, achieves 12 Gbps per connection, allowing for up to 96 Gbps total stacking bandwidth (full duplex) in a resilient stacking configuration.
Separate data and control paths keep control separated from services and keep service processing isolated; increase security and performance.
Spanning tree/MSTP and RSTP provide redundant links while preventing network loops.
Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP) connects multiple switches in a high-performance ring using standard Ethernet technology; traffic can be rerouted around the ring in less than 50 ms, reducing the impact on traffic and applications.
Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) creates virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two or more switches perform as a single Layer 2 switch, Layer 3 router.
Securely encrypt all access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3.
Secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of switch configuration file.
Similar to IEEE 802.1X, it provides a browser-based environment to authenticated clients.
Endpoint Admission Defense (EAD) provides security policies to users accessing a network.
Port security allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator.
Port isolation secures and adds privacy, and prevents malicious attackers from obtaining user information.
STP BPDU port protection blocks Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on ports that do not require BPDUs, preventing forged BPDU attacks.
STP root guard protects root bridge from malicious attack or configuration mistakes.
Block DHCP packets from unauthorized DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks.
Block ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data.
RADIUS/HWTACACS eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server.
