Product overview

HPE 5820 Switch Series supports advanced
features that deliver a unique combination
of unmatched benefits such as 10 Gigabit
Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
connectivity, high-availability architecture, full
Layer 2/3 dual-stack IPv4/IPv6, and line-rate
as well as low-latency performance on all
ports. Extensible embedded application
capabilities enable these switches to integrate
services into the network, consolidating
devices, and appliances to simplify

deployment, reduce power consumption, as
well as rack space. Extremely versatile, the
switches can be used in high-performance,
high-density building, or department cores
as part of a consolidated network; for data
center top-of-rack server access; or as
high-performance Layer 3, 10GbE
aggregation switches in campus and data
center networks.

Features and benefits

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Powerful QoS feature

Creates traic classes based on access
control lists (ACLs), IEEE 8021p
precedence, IP, and 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), weighted
random early discard (WRED), weighted
deficit round robin (WDRR), and SP+WDRR

• Integrated network services

Extends and integrates application
capability into the network, with support
for open application architecture (OAA)
modules

• Ring Resiliency Protection Protocol (RRPP)

Provides fast recovery for ring Ethernet­based topology; helps facilitate consistent
application performance for applications
such as VoIP

Management

• Remote configuration and management

Enables configuration and management
through a secure Web browser or a CLI
located on a remote device

• IEEE 8021ab LLDP discovery

Advertises and receives management
information from adjacent devices on a
network, facilitating easy mapping by
network management applications

• USB support

– File copy

Allows users to copy switch files to and
from a USB flash drive

• DHCP options

Provides server (RFC 2131), client, snooping,
and relay options

• SNMPv1, v2c, and v3

Facilitates centralized discovery, monitoring,
and secure management of networking
devices

• sFlow®

Provides scalable ASIC-based network
monitoring and accounting; this allows
network operators to gather a variety
of sophisticated network statistics and
information for capacity planning and
real-time network monitoring purposes

• Network Time Protocol (NTP)

Synchronizes timekeeping among
distributed time servers and clients; keeps
timekeeping consistent among all
clock-dependent devices within the network
so that the devices can provide diverse
applications based on the consistent time

Connectivity

• High-density port connectivity

19410GbE ports with a 40 Gbps resilient
backplane

• Data center I/O consolidation

HPE 5820-14XG FCoE module supports
two 4x8/4x2 Gbps FCoE modules (up to
eight Fibre Channel ports total) to reduce
cost and complexity while boosting network
performance

• Auto-MDIX

Provides automatic adjustments for
straight-through or crossover cables on all
10/100 and 10/100/1000 por ts

• Jumbo frames

On Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
ports, jumbo frames allow high-performance
remote backup and disaster-recovery
services

• IPv6 native support

– IPv6 host

Enables switches to be managed and
deployed at the IPv6 network’s edge

– Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6)

Transitions from IPv4 to IPv6, supporting
connectivity for both protocols

– MLD snooping

Forwards IPv6 multicast traic to the
appropriate interface

– IPv6 ACL/QoS

Supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network
traic, preventing traic flooding

– IPv6 routing

Supports IPv6 static routes and IPv6
versions of RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, and Border
Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocols

Performance

• Hardware-based wire-speed access control
list s (ACLs)

Helps provide high levels of security and
ease of administration without impacting
network performance with a feature-rich
TCAM-based ACL implementation

• Unique versatile architecture

Supports the best of both fixed-port and
modular configurations

• Cut-through switching

Delivers wire-speed, line-rate performance
on all ports, as well as cut-through switching
for low latency

Manageability

• Full-featured console

Provides complete control of the switch with
a familiar CLI

• Web interface

Allows configuration of the switch from any
Web browser on the network

• RMON and sFlow

Provide advanced monitoring and reporting
capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and
events

• Multiple configuration files

Allow multiple configuration files to be
stored to a flash image

• Troubleshooting

– Ingress and egress port monitoring enable

network problem solving

– Traceroute and ping enable testing of

network connectivity

– Virtual cable tests provide visibility to

cable problems

Layer 2 switching

• 32K MAC addresses

Provides access to many Layer 2 devices

• 4094 port-based VLANs

Provides security between workgroups

• IEEE 8021ad QinQ and selective QinQ
