Šasi sieťového zariadenia HPE 5406R zl2

The HPE 5406R zl2 chassis (part of the HP 5400R zl2 Switch Series) is a modular network switch platform designed for enterprise edge, SMB and branch office core deployments. The compact 6-slot chassis supports modular line cards for mixed 10GbE (SFP+ / 10GBASE-T), 1GbE and PoE+ connectivity and delivers a high-capacity switching architecture suitable for scalable, highly available campus networks.

Advantages

The chassis offers high throughput and low-latency switching via a 2 Tbps crossbar fabric and hardware-based packet processing, plus license-free advanced Layer 2/3 features including IPv6, BGP, OSPF and QoS. It provides SDN readiness with OpenFlow 1.3 support, flexible port density through modular slots, and enterprise-class resiliency with redundant management and power options as well as hot-swappable modules.

Suitable for

• Enterprise edge switching
• SMB and branch office core networks
• Campus deployments requiring high port density and PoE+
• Environments needing high availability and redundancy

How to use

Install the HPE 5406R zl2 chassis in a standard rack using the supplied mounting brackets. Populate the chassis with compatible line cards to achieve the desired mix of 10GbE, 1GbE and PoE+ ports. Connect redundant management and power modules where continuous operation is required. Configure the switch using the built-in CLI or manage centrally with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC). For SDN deployments enable OpenFlow 1.3 on supported modules.

Recommendations

Populate the chassis with matched line cards and install redundant power/management modules to ensure high availability; use HPE IMC for unified configuration, monitoring and compliance. When deploying PoE+ devices verify the total PoE budget per chassis and distribute powered ports across modules to avoid power overloads.
