Overview
The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5140 EI delivers scalability, high availability, and low TCO at the access layer of medium and large enterprise campus networks. The series offers enterprise-class QoS and security, HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) stacking, static layer 3 routing and RIP; convenient fixed 10GbE uplink ports, PoE+, ACLs, and IPv6; and delivers energy savings with Energy Efficient Ethernet. The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5140 EI also includes Smart Management Center (SmartMC), an embedded network management tool that can be leveraged at no additional cost by small and medium networks for centralized management and operations. The series can also be managed with HPE Aruba Networking IMC for a single view of your entire network.
  • The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5140 EI delivers scalability and enhances reliability of the network with HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology. IRF stacking enables virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two or more switches perform as a single L2 switch and L3 router.
  • The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5140 EI supports flexible authentication methods including 802.1X and MAC Authentication for greater security and policy-driven application authentication. Per-user access control lists (ACLs) provide identity-driven security and access control.
  • The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5140 EI can be seamlessly managed with HPE Aruba Networking IMC to provide end-to-end network transparency with a consistent network experience through comprehensive configuration, compliance, and policy management.
  • The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5140 EI supports advanced classifier-based QoS which groups traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2 and 3 information; it applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or entire switch.
Scalability and High Availability Link redundancy with support for protocols such as Spanning Tree/MSTP, RSTP, and Smart link provides high availability. Comprehensive Security Control Enhance security with encryption of access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMPv3, and other features including DHCP protection, IP source guard, and RADIUS/HWTACAS. Simplified Management RMON and sFlow provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events. Enhanced Quality of Service Reduce unwanted network traffic with broadcast control and limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic.
