Switches & Bridges

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.

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

The Aruba 3810 Switch Series provides performance and resiliency for the mobile-first campus network. Based on a powerful ProVision ASIC and ready for high-speed APs with HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet, the Aruba 3810 delivers a better application experience with low latency, virtualization with resilient stacking technology, and line rate 40GbE for plenty of back haul capacity.

The Aruba 3810 has comprehensive Layer 3 features, right size deployment models, and is SDN ready with OpenFlow support.

Features

Performance and Power for the Mobile-First Campus

The Aruba 3810 Switch Series is an industry leading mobile campus access solution for enterprises, SMBs, and branch office networks. With HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports for high speed 802.11ac devices, the Aruba 3810 will prepare your network for tomorrow.

HPE Smart Rate ports support multi-gigabit Ethernet speeds (1, 2.5, 5, and 10 gigabit Ethernet) on existing cabling for cost-effective and convenient network upgrades with no rip and replace of cabling.

Delivers consistent wired and wireless user experience by supporting unified management tools such as ClearPass Policy Manager and AirWave Network Management. Provides optimal configuration automatically when connected to Aruba APs for PoE priority, VLAN configuration, and rogue AP containment.

Rightsizes deployment and back haul capacity with modular 10GbE and 40GbE uplinks. Full PoE+ provisioning on 48-ports. Dual, redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and innovative backplane stacking technology delivers resiliency and scalability in a convenient 1U form factor.

Advanced Layer 2 and 3 feature set with OSPF, IPv6, IPv4 BGP, robust QoS and policy-based routing are included with no software licensing. With support for OpenFlow, the Aruba 3810 is ready to take advantage of SDN applications such as HPE Network Visualizer, Optimizer, and Protector Applications.

The Aruba 3810 Switch Series is designed with a ProVision ASIC designed to enable the mobile campus with SDN optimizations, very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption.

Backplane stacking technology delivers high-performance stacking with up to 336 Gb/s of stacking throughput and increased resiliency. Up to ten Aruba 3810 switches can be stacked in a ring topology or up to five can be stacking in a mesh topology.

Dual hot-swappable power supplies provide power and allow swapping of modules on the fly to reduce impact on the network availability. More performance with selectable queue configurations and associated memory buffering that best meets requirements of prioritized network applications.

Selectable queue configurations enables increased performance by selecting the number of queues and associated memory buffering that best meet the requirements of the network applications.

Uninterrupted switching and routing for improved application experience and enhanced L3 availability. Supports virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) allowing groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available router environments in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
