HP A5810 Switch Series

Overview:

The HP A5810-48G Switch delivers unparalleled QoS across 48 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports, two multiplex Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) combination SFP ports, and two 10-GbE SFP+ ports for the most demanding enterprise network environments.

• High performance for core and distribution
• Powerful IPv4/IPv6 ACL/QoS/VoQ
• Powerful buffer capability—24M buffering
• Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies

Features and Benefits:

Management

• Remote configuration and management — is available through a secure Web browser or a command-line interface (CLI)
• IEEE 802.1ab LLDP discovery — advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network
• USB support —
  • File copy — allows users to copy switch files to and from a USB flash drive
• DHCP options — client allows automatic setting of IP address
• SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 — facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) — synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps consistent timekeeping among all clock-dependent devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time

Connectivity

• Auto-MDIX — automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports
• Jumbo frames — on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports, allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services

Performance

• Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists (ACLs) — feature-rich ACL implementation (TCAM based) helps ensure high levels of security and ease of administration without impacting network performance

Resiliency and high availability

• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) — allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments
• Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) — monitors link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected, preventing loops in STP-based networks
• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) — LACP allows to bundle several physical ports together to form a single logical channel.

Manageability

• RMON (remote monitoring) — provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
• Web interface — allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser on the network
• Multiple configuration files — allow multiple configuration files to be stored to flash image
• Troubleshooting — ingress and egress port monitoring enable network problem solving

Layer 2 switching

• 16K MAC address table — provides access to many Layer 2 devices
• 4094 port-based VLANs — provide security between workgroups
• Gigabit Ethernet port aggregation — allows grouping of ports to increase overall data throughput to a remote device
• 10 GbE port aggregation — allows grouping of ports to increase overall data throughput to a remote device
• Spanning Tree/MSTP, RSTP, and STP Root Guard — prevent network loops

Layer 3 services

• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) — determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet; supports static ARPs; gratuitous ARP allows detection of duplicate IP addresses

Layer 3 routing

• Layer 3 IP routing —
  • Static IP routing — provides basic routing (supporting up to 1K static routes); allows manual configuration of routing

• Advanced processor queuing mechanism — helps prevent denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, while DHCP snooping helps ensure that devices can only receive an IP address from a legitimate DHCP server on the network
• IP source guard — helps prevent IP spoofing attacks
• HTTPS management — provides secure Web management
• RADIUS/HWTACACS — eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
• Secure Shell (SSHv2) — encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote command-line interface (CLI) access over IP networks

Convergence

• LLDP-MED — is a standard extension that automatically configures network devices, including LLDP-capable IP phones

Monitor and diagnostics

• Port mirroring — enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring
• Remote Span (Rspan) — RSPAN extends SPAN by enabling remote monitoring of multiple switches across your network.

Additional information

• Green IT and power — use the latest advances in silicon development, shut off unused ports, and use variable-speed fans to improve power efficiency

Warranty and support

• 1-year warranty — with advance replacement and 10-calendar-day delivery (available in most countries)
• Electronic and telephone support — limited electronic and telephone support is available from HP; refer to www.hp.com/networking/warranty for details on the support provided and the period during which support is available
• Software releases — refer to www.hp.com/networking/warranty for details on the software releases provided and the period during which software releases are available for your product(s)
