Description
Switch Architecture and Design
The JH178A HPE Flexfabric 5930-2slot+2qsfp+2 Ports Managed Switch is a high-performance data center switch that is designed for multi-cloud environments. It features a compact and modular architecture, making it easy to deploy and manage.
The switch architecture includes two slots for HPE FlexFabric Module (FFM) modules, which support both 10 GbE and 40 GbE connectivity options. Additionally, the switch has two QSFP+ ports and two standard ports, allowing it to be easily connected to other switches, servers, storage, and network devices.
The switch uses a data plane architecture that enables high-speed, low-latency data transfer between connected devices. The control plane architecture provides real-time management and control of the switch and its network, allowing for easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
The switch’s design also includes advanced security features, such as access control lists (ACLs) and VLANs, to help prevent unauthorized access to the network and secure data transfer. It also supports virtualization, allowing multiple virtual switches to be run on a single physical switch, improving network efficiency and reducing costs.
Network Connectivity Options
The JH178A HPE Flexfabric 5930-2slot+2qsfp+2 Ports Managed Switch is a network connectivity option designed for high-performance data centers. This switch has 2 slots for network modules and 2 QSFP ports for connecting high-speed optical transceivers. Additionally, it has 2 standard Ethernet ports for connecting standard devices like servers, storage devices, and other network devices.
This switch is a managed switch, meaning that it can be configured and monitored through a web interface or a command line interface (CLI). This allows for granular control over network traffic and advanced features like VLAN tagging, quality of service (QoS), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
The HPE Flexfabric 5930-2slot+2qsfp+2 Ports Managed Switch supports a wide range of networking protocols, including IPv4 and IPv6, making it compatible with a variety of data center environments. It also has a non-blocking architecture, allowing it to handle large amounts of traffic without any bottlenecks.
Performance and Scalability
The JH178A HPE Flexfabric 5930-2slot+2qsfp+2 Ports Managed Switch is designed to deliver high-performance and scalability for modern data center networks. It features a compact 2-slot design with two quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) ports and two additional ports for a total of 8 ports.
Performance: The switch is equipped with a high-speed data plane that supports up to 960 Gbps of non-blocking throughput and a low-latency architecture that minimizes delay and jitter. It also supports virtual output queuing, which ensures predictable performance in congested networks.
Scalability: The JH178A switch is designed to scale with the growing demands of the data center network. It supports VXLAN and network segmentation, which enables the creation of multiple isolated virtual networks within a single physical infrastructure. Additionally, it supports Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for efficient routing and fast convergence times.
