HPE Apollo Ethernet 10/40GbE Switch
Overview
HPE Apollo Ethernet 10/40GbE Switch
HPE Apollo Ethernet 10/40GbE Switch
Today’s complex data centers require a demanding networking infrastructure. It all starts at the edge and that’s where the HPE
Apollo Ethernet 10/40GbE Switch excels. The HPE Apollo Ethernet 10/40GbE Switch is designed to support HPE Apollo 6000
System in HPC environments with exceptional bandwidth of 10Gb to each HPE ProLiant XL230k Gen10 server, while providing a
mixture of 40Gb and 10Gb uplinks to the core network. 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

Standard Features
• 180Gb uplink bandwidth / 240Gb available server side bandwidth
• This product is covered by a global limited warranty and supported by Hewlett Packard Enterprise
day response. Warranty repairs may be accomplished through the use of Customer Self Repair (CSR)
parts. These parts fall into two categories: 1) Mandatory CSR parts are designed for easy replacement. A
travel and labor charg
CSR parts are also designed for easy replacement but may involve added complexity. Customers may

rd Features
• DHCP Protection from unauthorized DHCP servers
• Disable password recovery
• IPv4 routing protocols - static routes, RIP, OSPF and BGP
• 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
• OAM (802.3ah) - Detects data link layer problems in the "last mile"; monitors link status between
• IP Source Guard
• Dynamic ARP protection to prevent eavesdropping
• Endpoint Admission Defense (EAD)
• RADIUS/TACACS+
• Secure management via SSHv2 and SNMPv3
• Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (URPF)
• Monitor link and Smart link
• IPsec
• IKE (Internet Key Exchange)
• 4094 VLANs
• IEEE 802.1ad QinQ VLANs
• Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+)
• Private VLANs (PVLAN)
• Multicast VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP)
• Jumbo frame support

• Multiple Label Switching (MPLS)
Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)
• 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
based on Layer 2, 3 and 4 information and 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
switches acting as a single Layer 2/3 switch; Switches do not have to be coof 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
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
