HPE 6125G/XG Ethernet Blade Switch
Overview
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 of the Comware operating
to the c

the enclosure, rack or datacenter level into a single virtual switch, and managed through a single IP address. Comware OS p
common level of features, service and security levels from edge to core. And all network elements can be managed through IMC
(Intelligent Management Center) providing comprehensive single pane provisioning of the entire network. Truly versatile,
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.

• Disable password recovery
Policy Based Routing
• 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 perport 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
switches perform as a single Layer 2 switch and Layer 3 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; 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
standard Ethernet technology; traffic can be rerouted around the ring in less than 50 ms upon failure
• Smart Link - Allows 50 ms failover between links
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
