The HPE Moonshot 180G Module Switch is a high-performance, stackable, managed network switch designed specifically for use in HPE's Moonshot System. The switch is designed to provide high-speed connectivity between Moonshot System modules and the external network.
The Moonshot 180G Module Switch offers 180 managed ports, which can be used to connect multiple Moonshot System modules, including compute, storage, and network modules. The switch features stackable plug-in module architecture, which allows for easy expansion and configuration of the switch to meet changing business needs.
The switch supports advanced switching technologies such as VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol, as well as quality of service and traffic management features that enable administrators to prioritize and manage network traffic. It also includes security features such as access control and port security to protect against unauthorized access and potential threats.
The HPE Moonshot 180G Module Switch is easy to install and configure and includes management and monitoring capabilities that allow administrators to efficiently manage and monitor the switch. It also provides redundancy and high availability features that help ensure the availability and reliability of the network.
Redundancy and High AvailabilityRedundancy and high availability are two concepts that are critical for ensuring that a network remains operational even in the event of hardware or software failures.
Redundancy refers to the use of duplicate or backup components in a network to provide fault tolerance. By having multiple components that perform the same function, if one component fails, the other(s) can take over without disrupting network operations. For example, a network switch with redundant power supplies will continue to operate if one of the power supplies fails.
High availability, on the other hand, refers to the ability of a network to remain operational even in the event of a failure. High availability is achieved through the use of redundant components, but also requires additional features such as failover mechanisms, automatic detection of failures, and automatic re-routing of traffic to functioning components. This ensures that network operations are not disrupted, even in the event of a failure.
The HPE Moonshot 180G Module Switch supports redundancy and high availability through features such as:
- Redundant power supplies: The switch includes two hot-swappable power supplies, which can take over if one fails.
- Redundant fans: The switch includes four hot-swappable fans, which can take over if one fails.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The switch supports LACP, which enables the bundling of multiple physical links into a single logical link, providing redundancy and load balancing.
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP): The switch supports VRRP, which provides automatic failover for IP addresses in the event of a router failure.
- Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP): The switch supports RSTP, which provides rapid convergence of the spanning tree protocol to ensure network availability in the event of a link failure.
In networking, "stackable" refers to the ability of network devices, such as switches, to be connected and managed as a single logical unit. A stackable switch typically consists of multiple individual switches that are physically stacked on top of one another, and interconnected using dedicated stacking cables or over the network.
When stacked together, the switches act as a single, logical switch, with a single management interface, a single IP address, and shared configuration settings. This allows for easier management, improved scalability, and increased resiliency.
Stackable switches are commonly used in enterprise networks, data centers, and other large-scale networking environments where multiple switches are required to provide adequate network capacity and redundancy. With a stackable switch, new switches can be added to the stack as needed, without requiring any major changes to the existing network configuration. This allows for easy scalability, as the network can grow as the business grows.
In the case of the HPE Moonshot 180G Module Switch, stackable plug-in module architecture enables the switch to be easily expanded and configured to meet changing business needs. New modules can be added to the switch stack, as needed, to support additional Moonshot System modules or to increase network capacity. The stackable architecture also enables easier management and monitoring of the switch, as it can be managed as a single logical unit.

What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
