A 180 Ports Managed Switch, such as the 704642-B21 HPE Moonshot Switch, is a type of network switch that allows multiple devices to connect to a network and communicate with each other. The term "180 ports" indicates that the switch has 180 physical ports available for connecting devices.
The switch is considered "managed" because it includes advanced features for controlling and monitoring network traffic, such as VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS) settings, and advanced security features. These features allow network administrators to optimize network performance, prioritize traffic, and ensure that the network is secure.
The switch is typically deployed in data center environments, where large numbers of devices need to be connected to the network. The high number of ports available on the switch makes it suitable for high-density deployments, where many devices need to be connected to the network in a small amount of space.
The managed capabilities of the switch allow for granular control over network traffic, ensuring that critical applications and services receive the necessary bandwidth and resources to operate efficiently. Additionally, the advanced security features help protect the network from unauthorized access and attacks.
Design and Form FactorThe design and form factor of the 704642-B21 HPE Moonshot Switch 180 Ports Managed - Stackable Plug-In Module is an important aspect of its overall functionality and suitability for use in different data center environments.
The HPE Moonshot Switch 180 Ports Managed is designed to be a plug-in module that fits into a Moonshot chassis, allowing it to be easily integrated into existing infrastructures. The module itself is compact and lightweight, measuring 39.12 x 26.16 x 4.31 cm (15.4 x 10.3 x 1.7 in) and weighing 3.18 kg (7 lb). This small form factor allows for high density deployments, with up to 45 switches per 4.3U Moonshot chassis.
The switch also features a hot-swappable design, which means that it can be replaced or added without shutting down the system or disrupting network traffic. This allows for increased flexibility and scalability of the network, as new switches can be added or upgraded without downtime.
The HPE Moonshot Switch 180 Ports Managed is designed with a modular architecture that allows for easy expansion and customization. The switch has 12 fixed 40 GbE QSFP+ uplinks and supports up to 168 10 GbE SFP+ downlink ports, which can be expanded through the use of optional expansion modules. This modular design allows for flexibility in configuring the switch to meet specific network requirements.
