Product overview
HPE 5800 TAA-compliant Switch Series oers
an unmatched combination of Gigabit and
10 Gigabit Ethernet port density, high-availability
architecture, and full Layer 2 and Layer 3
dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 capabilities. In
addition to wire-speed line-rate performance
on all ports, the switches include patented
Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF)
technology and Rapid Ring Protection
Protocol (RRPP), which allow local or
geographically distributed HPE 5800 switches
to be interconnected for higher resiliency and
performance. Available in PoE and non-PoE
models as well as 1 RU and 2 RU form-factor
configurations, HPE 5800 switches are built
on open standards and include an open
application architecture (OAA) module slot
that enables flexible deployment options for
new services. These versatile switches are
ideal for use in the network core of buildings
or departments, or as high-performance
switches in the convergence layer or network
edge of enterprise campus networks.
