6127XLG Ethernet Blade Switch excels. The HPE 6127XLG Switch is designed to support virtualized server environments with
exceptional bandwidth of 20Gb to each and every server, while providing a mix of 40Gb and 10Gb links (with an astounding
aggregate of 240Gb) to the core network. Combined with hardware support for VXLAN encapsulation, this provides the perfect
switch for Private/Public/Hybrid Cloud applications. Enterprise customers will not be disappointed with the HPE 6127XLG which
also provides a converged fabric solution that supports Ethernet, iSCSI, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel
Forwarder (FCF) protocols that enables connectivity for multiple storage topologies. The HPE 6127XLG supports the HPE
Software-defined Network (SDN) ecosystem that delivers simple, open, and Enterprise ready benefits to automate the data center
network. With support for IETF industry standard TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) and SPB (Shortest Path
Bridging), the HPE 6127XLG delivers loop free large Layer 2 networks with multi-path support. Using The Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Intelligent Resilient Framework, (IRF) multiple switches can be virtualized and managed as a single entity with The
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Intelligent Management Center (IMC). A full complement of Layer 2/3 protocols and the latest in

•
Layer 2 Switching
• 128K MAC addresses
Layer 3 Routing
• IPv4 routing protocols - static routes, RIP, OSPF and BGP
Quality of Service
(QoS)
• Advanced classifier-based QoS (with eight queues) - classifies traffic using multiple match criteria
Resiliency and High
Availability
• Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) - Creates virtual resilient switching fabrics, up to eight 6127XLG
located and can be part of
load balancing and high availability; Simplifies network operation by eliminating Spanning Tree, ECMP
Monitoring and
Diagnostics
•
IPsec
• IKE (Internet Key Exchange)
• Disable password recovery
• 4094 VLANs
• IEEE 802.1ad QinQ VLANs
• Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+)
• Private VLANs (PVLAN)

• 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 acting as a single Layer 2/3 switch; Switches do not have to be coa disaster recovery system; Servers or switches can be attached using standard LACP for automatic
and VRRP.

ends if unidirectional traffic is detected
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
OAM (802.3ah) - Detects data link layer problems in the "last mile"; monitors link status between two
