The HPE FlexNetwork 5130 EI Switch Series comprises Gigabit Ethernet switches that support static and RIP Layer 3 routing, diversified services, and IPv6 forwarding, as well as provides four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces. Unique Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology creates a virtual fabric by managing several switches as one logical device, which increases network resilience, performance, and availability, while reducing operational complexity. These switches provide Gigabit Ethernet access and can be used at the edge of a network or to connect server clusters in small data centers. High availability, simplified management, and comprehensive security control policies are among the key features that distinguish this series.

Features and benefits

Software-defined networking

• OpenFlow
  Supports OpenFlow 1.3 specification to enable SDN by allowing separation of the data (packet forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths

Quality of service (QoS)

• Broadcast control
  Allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic
  
  
• Advanced classifier-based QoS
  Classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or whole switch
  
  
• Powerful QoS feature
  Supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), and SP+WRR
  
  
• Traffic policing
  Supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate

Management

• Remote configuration and management
  Enables configuration and management through a secure Web browser or a CLI located on a remote device
  
  
• Manager and operator privilege levels
  Provides read-only (operator) and read or 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 ogin; 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
  Stores easily to the flash image
  
  
• Complete session logging
  Provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution
  
  
• Remote monitoring (RMON)
  Uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group
  
  
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
  Advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network, facilitating easy mapping by network management applications
  
  
• 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
  
  
• 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
