The HPE FlexNetwork 5600 HI Switch Series delivers superior performance using Multigigabit, PoE8, MACsec, AES 256 encryption, link flexibility, and scalability at the access layer of medium and large enterprise campus networks. Additional modules can be included for increased capacity. This series offers improved resiliency with DRNI and IRF, better reliability and performance in user Quality of Service (QoS), enhanced security with hardware-based MACsec and AAA authentication, impressive efficiency with dual redundant power supplies, embedded network management using Smart MC and enhanced network visibility using IMC.
What is new supporting point:
VXLAN and EVPN enable both isolation and greater scalability of L2/L3 overlay services and multicast.
DRNI combines multiple physical switches into one virtual distributed-relay system for doubling aggregate bandwidth, faster forwarding, resiliency, and high availability.
Multigigabit 100M/1/2.5/5/10G options with PoE8. Granular, higher throughput, and switching capacity of up to 600 Mpps and 1440 Gbps, higher traffic rates and improved network performance.
Industry-standard MACsec AES 256 support, higher MAC port binding, AAA authentications (including RADIUS authentication), and link group capacity for improved end-to-end network security.
iNQA measures network packet loss performance and provides visibility into real-time application performance and health.
SmartMC provides centralized network management and maintains dispersed network edge devices at no additional cost.
