The HP 5400R zl2 Switch Series consists of advanced intelligent switches with resiliency and redundant management in the HP modular chassis product line, which includes 6-slot and 12-slot chassis and associated modules and bundles. The foundation for the switch series is a purpose-built, programmable 6th Generation HP Networking ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as Quality of Service (QoS), advanced SDN functionality, and MACsec ready hardware. With HP Smart Rate multi-gigabit, gigabit, 10 gigabit and 40 gigabit Ethernet interfaces; choice of PoE+ and non-PoE, integrated Layer 3 features, and HP AllianceOne solutions, the 5400R zl2 switch series offers excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment, operation and maintenance.

HPE OfficeConnect 1850 Switch Series devices are basic smart- managed, fixed-configuration Gigabit plus 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switches designed for small businesses looking for high performance in an easy-to-administer solution. The series is part of the OfficeConnect portfolio of Hewlett Packard Enterprise small business networking products.

The series consists of five switch models. Four are Gigabit switches each with 10- Gigabit 10GBASE-T uplink ports. One is an 8-port10-Gigabit aggregator switch. Together, you can build a high bandwidth network with Gigabit edge port switches interconnectedat 10-Gigabit speeds. Non-PoE and PoE+ models are available. The 24 port models include 2 10GBASE-T ports; the 48 port models include 4 10GBASE-T ports and an 8 port model includes 8 10GBASE-T ports with 2 dual- personality SFP+ ports. All HPE OfficeConnect 1850 Switches support flexible installation options including mounting on wall, under table, or on a desktop.

These Gigabit switches are plug-and-play out of the box, yet network operation can be fine- tuned through features available from a simple web browser-based GUI, if necessary. Customizable features include VLANs, Rapid Spanning Tree, IGMP Snooping, link aggregation trunking and DSCP QoS policies. All models include the latest energy-saving capabilities, including Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and idle-port power down. All models include variable speed fans o perating only at the speed necessary to maintain operating temperature to reduce excess noise and power consumption by the switch. HPE OfficeConnect 1850 Switch Series includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty. This warranty provides advance hardware replacemen t with next business day shipment in most countries, limited 24x7 telephone support available from HPE for the first 90 days, and limited electronic and business hours telephone support is available from HPE for the entire warranty period.

The Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series delivers enterpriseclass resiliency with innovative flexibility and scalability for customers creating smart digital workplaces that are optimized for mobile users with an integrated wired and wireless approach. This modular series brings scalable aggregation with Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking technology, hitless failover, and Fast Software Upgrade for 5400R VSF stacks. The advanced Layer 2 and 3 feature set includes OSPF, IPv6, IPv4 BGP, Dynamic Segmentation, robust QoS and policy-based routing with no software licensing required. Based on a powerful ProVision ASIC, the Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series has a high-speed, high-capacity architecture with 2 Tbps crossbar switching fabric with low 2.1µ latency, robust feature support, and value with flexible programmability for the latest applications. This series offers flexible connectivity options with 6- or 12-slot compact chassis, line rate 40GbE, up to 96 line rate Smart Rate multigigabit or 10GbE ports and up to 288 ports of PoE+ for powering access points, cameras and IoT devices. The 5400R is easy to deploy, use and manage using Aruba AirWave or Aruba Central. Aruba ClearPass offers centralized security and external captive portal support. The switches include a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

ENHANCED CAPABILITIES | Software-defined networks

• Supports multiple programmatic interfaces, including REST APIs and Openflow 1.0 and 1.3, to enable automation of network operations, monitoring, and troubleshooting

Unified Wired and wireless support

• Supports unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager
• Switch auto-configuration automatically configures switch for different settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max power, and PoE priority when an Aruba access point is detected
• User Role defines a set of switch-based policies in areas such as security, authentication, and QoS. A user role can be assigned to a group of users or devices, using switchbased local user role or download from ClearPass
• For improved network simplicity and security, Aruba Dynamic Segmentation automatically enforces user, device and application-aware policies on Aruba wired and wireless networks. Automated device profiling, rolebased access control, and Layer 7 firewall features deliver enhanced visibility and performance for a better overall experience for both IT and end-users alike
• Dynamic Segmentation provides a secure tunnel that transports network traffic on a per-port or per-user role basis to an Aruba Controller. In a per-user role Tunnel Node, users are authenticated by the ClearPass Policy Manager which directs traffic to be tunneled to an Aruba controller or switch locally
• Static IP Visibility allows ClearPass to do accounting for clients with static IP addresses

Quality of Service (QoS)

• 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 per-port or per-VLAN basis
• Traffic prioritization allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
• Bandwidth shaping - Port-based rate limiting provides per-port ingress-/ egress-enforced increased bandwidth - Classifier-based rate limiting uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce increased bandwidth for ingress traffic on each port - Supports per-port, per-queue egress-based reduced bandwidth
• Class of Service (CoS) sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source
