KEY FEATURES
• Scalable with 10 Gigabit uplinks and nine-chassis IRF with up to 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth
• PoE+ for up to 30W of PoE power per port on all ports simultaneously
• Four convenient built-in SFP+ 10GbE uplinks provide performance for bandwidth hungry
applications
• OpenFlow 13 support
• MACsec support
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The HPE FlexNetwork 5130 HI Switch Series comprises Gigabit Ethernet switches that support
static and RIP Layer 3 routing, diversified services, and IPv6 forwarding, as well as provide four
10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces.
Unique Intelligent Resilient Fabric (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. These switches provide Gigabit Ethernet access and can
be used at the edge of a network or to connect server clusters in small data centers.
High availability, simplified management, and comprehensive security control policies are among
the key features that distinguish this series. This switch also supports dual modular power supplies.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Software-defined networking
• OpenFlow
Supports OpenFlow 13 specification to enable SDN by allowing separation of the data
(packet forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths
Quality of Service (QoS)
• Broadcast control
Allows limitation of broadcast traic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traic
• Advanced classifier-based QoS
Classifies traic using multiple match criteria based on Layers 2, 3, and 4 information; applies
QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traic on a port, VLAN, or
entire switch
• Powerful QoS feature
Supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin
(WRR), and SP+WRR
• Traic policing
Supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
Management
• Remote configuration and management
Enables configuration and management through a secure CLI located on a remote device
• Manager and operator privilege levels
Provides read-only (operator) and read/write (manager) access on CLI management interface
• Command authorization
Leverages RADIUS/HWTACACS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual
network administrator’s login; also provides an audit trail
• Multiple configuration files
Stores easily to the flash image
• Complete session logging
Provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution
• Remote monitoring (RMON)
Uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history,
and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group
• IEEE 8021AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
Advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network,
facilitating easy mapping by network management applications

• sFlow® (RFC 3176)
Provides scalable ASIC-based wirespeed network monitoring and accounting with no impact on
network performance; this allows network operators to gather a variety of sophisticated network
statistics and information for capacity planning and real-time network monitoring purposes
• Management VLAN
Segments traic to and from management interfaces, including CLI/Telnet, and SNMP
• Remote intelligent mirroring
Mirrors ingress/egress ACL-selected traic from a switch port or VLAN to a local or remote
switch port anywhere on the network
• Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP)
Monitors a cable between two compatible switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if
the cable is broken, which prevents network problems such as loops
• IPv6 management
Provides future-proof networking because the switch is capable of being managed whether
the attached network is running IPv4 or IPv6; supports pingv6, tracertv6, Telnetv6, TFTPv6,
DNSv6, syslogv6, FTPv6, SNMPv6, DHCPv6, and RADIUS for IPv6
• Troubleshooting
Ingress and egress port monitoring enables network problem-solving; virtual cable tests provide
visibility into cable problems
• HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC)
Integrates fault management, element configuration, and network monitoring from a central
vantage point; built-in support for third-party devices enables network administrators to
centrally manage all network elements with a variety of automated tasks, including discovery,
categorization, baseline configurations, and software images; the software also provides
configuration comparison tools, version tracking, change alerts, and more
• Network Management
SNMP v1/v2c/v3, MIB-II with Traps, and RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC 2618);
embedded HTML management tool with secure access
Connectivity
• Auto-MDIX
Automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports
• Flow Control
Provides back pressure using standard IEEE 8023x, reducing congestion in heavy traic situations
• High-density connectivity
Provides up to 48 fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T ports in a Layer 2/Lite Layer 3 switch

• IEEE 8023at Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support
Simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs by helping to eliminate the
time and cost involved in supplying local power at each access point location
• Ethernet operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM)
Detects data link layer problems that occurred in the “last mile” using the IEEE 8023ah OAM
standard; monitors the status of the link between two devices
Performance
• Non-blocking architecture
Up to 216 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric provides wirespeed switching with up to
1905 million pps throughput
• Hardware-based wirespeed 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
Resiliency and high availability
• Separate data and control paths
Separates control from services and keeps service processing isolated; increases security
and performance
• Smart Link
Allows under 100 ms failover between links
• Spanning Tree/PVST+, MSTP, RSTP
Provides redundant links while preventing network loops
• Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF)
Creates virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two to nine switches perform as a single L2 switch
and L3 router; switches do not have to be colocated and can be part of a disaster-recovery system;
servers or switches can be attached using standard LACP for automatic load balancing and high
availability; can eliminate need for complex protocols like Spanning Tree Protocol, Equal-Cost
Multipath (ECMP), or VRRP, thereby simplifying network operation
• Internal Dual Redundant Power Supply
Provides high reliability by keeping network up while delivering up to 1440W of PoE+
Manageability
• Dual-flash images
Provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
• Multiple configuration files
Allow multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image

network is running IPv4 or IPv6; supports pingv6, tracertv6, Telnetv6, TFTPv6, DNSv6, and ARPv6
• Troubleshooting
Allows ingress and egress port monitoring, enabling network problem solving; virtual cable
tests provide visibility into cable problems
Layer 2 switching
• 32K MAC address table
Provides access to many Layer 2 devices
• VLAN support and tagging
Supports IEEE 8021Q with 4094 simultaneous VLAN IDs
• IEEE 8021ad QinQ and selective QinQ
Increase the scalability of an Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connect
multiple LANs on a high-speed campus or metro network
• 10GbE port aggregation

Improves the performance of large data transfers; supports frame size of up to 10K bytes
Layer 3 services
• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet; supports static ARPs;

between subnets or when subnets are separated by a Layer 2 network
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Simplifies the management of large IP networks; supports client; DHCP Relay enables DHCP
operation across subnets
• Loopback interface address
Defines an address that can always be reachable, improving diagnostic capability
• User Datagram Protocol (UDP) helper function
Allows UDP broadcasts to be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet
broadcast addresses and prevents server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP
