Product overview
The HPE FlexFabric 5920 Switch Series is made up of high-density 10GbE, ultra-deep packet buffering, top-of-rack (ToR)
switches. These switches are part of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) FlexNetwork architecture's HPE FlexFabric solution
module and are ideally suited
The HPE FlexFabric 5920 Switch Series is also designed for content delivery networks, especially when they are used to reduce
network congestion at the I/O that is associated wit
applications, and other critical services.
With the increase in virtualized applications and server
meet their needs for higher
virtual environments, and ultra-deep packet buffering all in a single device.

fabric services such as name server, registered state change notification, and login services; per-VSAN fabric services,
FSPF, soft and hard zoning, Fibre Channel traceroute, ping, debugging, and FIP snooping
• Jumbo frames
with frame sizes of up to 10,000 bytes on Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit ports, high-performance remote backup and
disaster-recovery services can be enabled
• IEEE 802.1ab LLDP discovery
• SNMPv1, v2c, and v3
• Port mirroring
advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network, facilitating easy mapping by
network management applications
facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices

• Out-of-band interface
Intelligent Management Center (IMC)
Resiliency and high availability
Layer 2 switching
Layer 3 services
determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet; supports static ARPs; gratuitous ARP allows detection
isolates management traffic from user data plane traffic for complete isolation and total reachability, no matter what
happens in the data plane
• Remote configuration and management
is available through a secure command-line interface (CLI) over Telnet and SSH; Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
provides multiple levels of access; Configuration Rollback and multiple configurations on the flash provide ease of
operation; remote visibility with sFlow and SNMP v1/v2/v3 is fully supported in HPE
• ISSU and hot patching
provides hitless software upgrades with single-unit In Services Software Upgrade (ISSU) and hitless patching of modular
OS
• Autoconfiguration
provides automatic configuration via DHCP autoconfiguration
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Secure Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps consistent timekeeping among all clockdependent devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time
• Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF)
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) IRF technology enables an HPE FlexFabric to deliver resilient, scalable, and secured
data center networks for physical and virtualized environments; up to four 5920 switches can be grouped together in an
IRF configuration, which allows them to be configured and managed as a single switch with a single IP address; this
simplifies ToR deployment and management, reducing data center deployment and operating expenses
• Address Resolution Protocols (ARP)
supports static, dynamic, and reverse ARP and ARP proxy
• Flow Control
IEEE 802.3x Flow Control provides intelligent congestion management via PAUSE frames
• Ethernet Link Aggregation
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation of up to 128 groups of 16 ports; support for LACP, LACP Local Forwarding First, and
LACP Short Timeout provide a fast, resilient environment that is ideal for the data center
• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
STP (IEEE 802.1D), Rapid STP (RSTP, IEEE 802.1w), and Multiple STP (MSTP, IEEE 802.1s) provide loop avoidance
• VLAN support
provides support for 4,096 VLANs based on port, MAC address, IPv4 subnet, protocol, and guest VLAN; supports VLAN
mapping
• IGMP support
provides support for IGMP Snooping, Fast-Leave, Group-Policy, and IPv6; IGMP Snooping provides Layer 2 optimization
of multicast traffic
• DHCP support at Layer 2
provides full DHCP Snooping support, including DHCP Snooping Option 82, DHCP Relay Option 82, DHCP Snooping
Trust, and DHCP Snooping Item Backup
