- 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 strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), and SP+WRR
- Traffic policing: supports committed access rate (CAR) and line rate
- Friendly port names: allows assignment of descriptive names to ports
- 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/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 login; also provides an audit trail
- Secure web GUI: provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS
- Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports
- Flow control: provides back pressure using standard IEEE 802.3x, reducing congestion in heavy traffic situations
- Jumbo packet support: supports up to 9216-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers
- High-density connectivity: provides up to 48 fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T ports in a layer 2/layer 3 switch
- Nonblocking architecture: up to 192 Gbps nonblocking switching fabric provides wire-speed switching with up to 143 million pps throughput
- Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists (ACLs): help provide high levels of security and ease of administration without impacting network performance with a feature-rich TCAM-based ACL implementation
The HP 5120 EI Switch Series delivers flexibility, scalability and low TCO with a robust feature set supporting stacking, static layer 3 routing, PoE+, ACLs and IPv6. HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (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. The HP 5120 EI Switch Series can be managed with the HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) for a single view of your network.
