Features and benefits
Quality of Service (QoS)
•Powerful QoS features
-Flexible classification
Flow classification is based on DSCP field, MAC address, IP protocol type, source address, destination address, or port number of an application.
-Feature queue scheduling
Flexible queuing and scheduling algorithms are configured on a per-port or per-queue basis, including strict priority (SP), weighted round robin (WRR), SP+WRR, weighted fair queuing (WFQ), and SP+WFQ.
-QPPB
QoS Policy Propagation via BGP, often abbreviated to QPPB, is a mechanism that allows propagation of QoS policy and classification by the sending party based on access lists, community lists, and autonomous system paths in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) thus helping to classify based on destination instead of source address.
Data center optimized
•Versatile server connectivity
HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series enables scaling of the server edge with 1GbE and 10GbE ToR deployments with highdensity 24and 48-port solutions delivered in a 1RU form factor. These switches can be set up as stand-alone Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches. The high server port density of the 5710 Switch is backed by 40GbE QSFP+ or 100GbE QSFP28 uplinks to deliver the availability of needed bandwidth for demanding applications. Each 40GbE QSFP+ port can also be configured as four 10GbE ports by using a 40GbE-to-10GbE splitter cable.
•High-performance switching
Cut-through and nonblocking architecture delivers low latency (1.5-2.5 μs for 10GbE) for very demanding enterprise applications. HPE FlexFabric 5710 switches also deliver high-performance switching capacity and wirespeed packet forwarding for demanding data center environments. Local switching capacity and packet forwarding enable the switch to participate in the network and enhance networking capacity available for servers.
•Higher scalability
HPE IRF technology simplifies the architecture of server access networks; up to 10 HPE FlexFabric 5710 physical switches can be combined into one virtual switch configuration and are managed using a single IP address. HPE IRF enables this switch to deliver the unmatched scalability of virtualized switches and flatter two-tier networks, which reduces cost and complexity.
•Advanced modular operating system
Comware v7 network operating system’s modular design and multiple processes bring native high stability, independent process monitoring, and a restart. The OS also allows individual software modules to be upgraded for higher availability and supports enhanced serviceability functions like hitless software upgrades with In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)
•Reversible airflow
It is enhanced for data center hot-cold aisle deployment with reversible airflow-for either front-to-back or back-to-front airflow.
•Redundant fans and power supplies
1+1 internal redundant and hot-pluggable power supplies and multiple fan trays enhance reliability and availability.
•Data Center Bridging (DCB) protocols
Provides support for priority-based flow control (PFC) IEEE 802.1Qbb, quantized congestion notification (QCN) IEEE 802.1Qau, enhanced transmission selection (ETS) IEEE 802.1Qaz, and data center bridging capability exchange (DCBx) IEEE 802.1Qaz for converged applications.
•FCoE support
Provides support for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) including Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF), transit, and N-port virtualization (NPV)
•Jumbo frames
Frame sizes of up to 10,000 bytes allow high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services to be enabled.
