HPE 6125G/XG Ethernet Blade Switch
HPE 6125G/XG Ethernet Blade Switch
The innovative features of
HPE Networking products are now available in a hybrid 1Gb/10Gb blade switch format. The HPE
6125G/XG brings the resiliency of IRF (intelligent Resilient Networking) stacking and the stability o
f the Comware operating system
-Class BladeSystem. With sixteen 1Gb downlink (server) ports, a combination of 1Gb and 10Gb uplink ports, and a 10Gb cross-
HPE 6125G/XG reduces cost, while increasing datacenter efficiency and capability. Switches can be combined at the
enclosure, rack or datacenter level into a single virtual switch, and managed through a single IP address. Comware OS provide
common level of features, service and security levels from edge to core. And all network ele
ments can be managed through IMC
(Intelligent Management Center) providing comprehensive single pane provisioning of the entire network. Truly versatile, the
6125G/XG supports IPv6, full layer 3 routing and distributed trunking. If you're looking for a
switch that delivers excellent investment
protection, flexibility, and scalability for mixed bandwidth applications, the 6125G/XG is the optimal choice for any data center.

HPE 6125G/XG Ethernet Blade Switch
• IEEE 802.1ad QinQ VLANs
• Jumbo packet support
• GVRP VLAN Registration Protocol
• Port Aggregation
• Spanning Tree Protocol, PVST, MSTP, RSTP, STP Root Guard
• Smart Link fast uplink failure recovery
• IP Multicast Snooping and data-driven IGMP
• Policy Based Routing
IPv4 routing protocols - static routes, RIP, OSPF and BGP
• IPv6 routing protocols - static routes, RIPng, OSPFv3 and BGP+
• IPv6 tunneling
• IP Multicast - PIM-SSM, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, IGMP for IPv4 and IPv6
• Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP)
• Policy-based routing
• DHCP and DHCPv6 client
• VRRP
Advanced classifier-based QoS - classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3 and
4 information; applies QoS policies such as priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port
or per-VLAN basis
• Traffic policing - supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
• Powerful QoS feature - creates traffic classes based on access control lists (ACL), IEEE 802.1p
precedence, IP, DSCP or Type of Service (ToS) precedence; supports filter, redirect, mirror or remark;
supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR),
weighted fair queuing (WFQ), and weighted random early discard (WRED)
• Storm restraint - allows limitation of broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic rate to cut down
on unwanted broadcast traffic on the network
h Availability
• Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) -
Creates virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two or more switches
perform as a single Layer 2 switch and Layer 3 router; Switches do not have to be co-located 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; Simplifies network operation by eliminating Spanning
Tree, ECMP and VRRP
• Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) - Monitors Link connectivity and shuts down ports at both
ends if unidirectional traffic is detected
• Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP) - Connects multiple switches in a high-performance ring using
standard Ethernet technology; traffic can be rerouted around the ring in less than 50 ms upon failure
