Feature Description
Performance High-speed fully distributed architecture provides 2.5Tbps for switching and 1,905MPPS for forwarding. All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications today and in the future.
Scalable system design provides investment protection to support future technologies and higher-speed connectivity.
Connectivity High-density port connectivity with a choice of compact 1U switches including models with:
- 32 ports of 40GbE (QSFP) with optional 4x10 breakout
- 48 ports of 1/10GbE (SFP/SFP+) with 1GBASE-T and 10GBASE-T transceiver support, and 6 ports of 40GbE (QSFP) with optional 4x10
- 48 ports of 1/10GbE (1GBASE-T/10GBASE-T), and 6 ports of 40GbE (QSFP) with optional 4x10 breakout
Jumbo frames allow high-performance backups and disaster-recovery systems; provides a maximum frame size of 9K bytes.
Unsupported Transceiver Mode (UTM) allows the insertion and enabling of all unsupported 1G and 10G transceivers and cables without warranty or support for the transceiver/cable when used.
Loopback supports internal loopback testing for maintenance purposes and increased availability; loopback detection protects against incorrect cabling or network configurations.
Packet storm protection protects against unknown broadcast, unknown multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds.
Layer 2 switching VLAN supports up to 4,040 port-based or IEEE 802.1Q-based VLANs.
VLAN translation remaps VLANs during transit across a core network.
Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) tunneling transmits STP BPDUs transparently.
Port mirroring duplicates port traffic (ingress and egress) to a monitoring port.
STP supports standard IEEE 802.1D STP, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).
Rapid Per-VLAN spanning tree plus (RPVST+) allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) controls and manages the flooding of multicast packets in a Layer 2 network.
Layer 3 Services Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet.
IP Directed Broadcast supports directed broadcast on configured network subnets.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides DHCP services within a client network to simplify network management.
DHCP Server supports DHCP Services (for IPv4 and IPv6) in customer networks.
Domain Name System (DNS) provides a distributed database that translates domain names and IP addresses.
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) enables tunneling traffic from site to site over a Layer 3 path.
Layer 3 Routing Static IPv4 routing provides simple manually configured IPv4 routing.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) delivers faster convergence.
Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) delivers an implementation of the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).
Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2) is an easy to configure routing protocol for small networks.
Routing Information Protocol Next Generation (RIPng) is an extension of RIPv2 for IPv6 networking.
Policy Based Routing (PBR) enables using a classifier to select traffic based on policy.
Static IPv6 routing provides simple manually configured IPv6 routing.
OSPFv3 provides OSPF support for IPv6.
Equal-Cost multipath (ECMP) enables multiple equal-cost links in a routing environment.
Resiliency and high availability Redundant and load-sharing fans and power supplies increase total performance and power availability.
Hot swappable power supply and fan modules allow replacement without any operational impact.
Separate data and control paths separate control from services to increase security and performance.
HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) enables a distributed and redundant architecture.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) allows a group of switches to back each other up.
Bidirectional forward detection (BFD) enables sub-second failure detection.
Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) supports rapid protection and recovery in a ring topology.
Unidirectional link detection (UDLD) monitors link connectivity to prevent loops.
IEEE 802.3ad LACP supports up to 54 link aggregation groups (LAGs).
Quality of Service (QoS) Strict priority (SP) queuing and Deficit Weighted Round Robin (DWRR) enable congestion avoidance.
Visibility CX Edge Insights provide deep visibility with application recognition, identification, and flow capture from layer 4 to layer 7.
Security TAA Compliance with FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography.
Access control list (ACL) features support powerful ACLs for both IPv4 and IPv6.
Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) enables secure certificate enrollment.
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) eases security access administration.
Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System (TACACS+) provides an authentication tool using TCP.
RadSec enables secure RADIUS authentication and accounting data.
Management access security provides both on-box and off-box authentication for administrative access.
Secure shell (SSHv2) protects against IP spoofing and plain-text password interception.
Management Built-in programmable and easy to use REST API interface.
Industry-standard CLI with a hierarchical structure.
Management security restricts access to critical configuration commands.
SNMP v2c/v3 provides SNMP read and trap support.
sFlow® (RFC 3176) provides scalable ASIC-based wire speed network monitoring.
Remote monitoring (RMON) uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions.
TFTP and SFTP support offer different mechanisms for configuration updates.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients.
Multicast Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) enables establishing multicast group memberships.
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) enables discovery of IPv6 multicast listeners.
Multicast Service Delivery Protocol (MSDP) for Anycast RP provides redundancy and load-sharing.
PIM-Dense Mode floods multicast traffic to every corner of the network.
IGMP/MLD Snooping prevents flooding of multicast traffic to non-listening ports.
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) supports one-to-many and many-to-many media casting use cases.
