Key Features

• Gigabit Ethernet access switch with static Layer 3 routing, RIP, high density 10GbE uplinks, and PoE+ models for voice, video, and wireless
• Supports HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology that enables plug-and-play device aggregation and link aggregation across multiple devices, enhancing network redundancy and resource utilization
• Includes embedded network management capabilities at no additional cost with Smart Management Center (SmartMC)
• Includes energy-saving green design features such as automatic switching of idle ports to energy-saving mode and powering down unused ports

Features and Benefits:

Scalability and high availability

• The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch Series delivers scalability and enhances reliability of the network with HPE IRF technology. IRF stacking enables virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two to nine switches can perform as a single L2 switch and L3 router.
• IRF stacking with stacking bandwidth of up to 80 GB/s enhances performance and reliability with uninterrupted L2 switching and L3 forwarding. By reducing the need for complex protocols, it delivers simpler, flatter, and more agile networks.
• Four fixed 1/10GbE uplinks deliver performance for bandwidth-intensive applications.
• Link redundancy with support for protocols such as Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+), Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (RPVST+), Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP), and Smart Link provides high availability.

Comprehensive security control

• The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch Series supports flexible authentication methods including 802.1X and MAC Authentication for greater security and policy-driven application authentication. Per-user access control lists (ACLs) provide identity-driven security and access control.
• ACLs provide IP Layer 2 to Layer 4 traffic filtering while supporting global ACL, VLAN ACL, port ACL, and IPv6 ACL. Supports hardware-based wire speed ACLs that provide high levels of security without impacting network performance.
• Dynamic ARP protection with functions such as ARP detection and ARP packet validation that block broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data.
• Centralized security policy management and network protection with HPE IMC End User Admission Domination (EAD), which integrates security policies, network access control, and access right control policies to form a cooperative security system.
• Enhance security with encryption of access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2, SSL, and/or SNMP v3, and other features including Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) protection, IP source guard, and RADIUS/TACACS.

Simplified management

• The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch Series can be seamlessly managed with HPE IMC to provide end-to-end network transparency with a consistent network experience through comprehensive configuration, compliance, and policy management.
• Supports SmartMC, an embedded network management tool with a web-based GUI to simplify operations and facilitate centralized management. It is made available at no additional cost and offers features such as configuration backup, software version management, and seamless switch replacement.
• RMON and sFlow® provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events to help network operators with capacity planning and real-time network monitoring.
• Supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 to facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices. It also provides complete session logging to aid problem identification and resolution.
• Provides future-proof networking because the switch is capable of being managed whether the attached network is running IPv4 or IPv6; supports pingv6, tracertv6, Telnetv6, TFTPv6, DNSv6, syslogv6, FTPv6, SNMP v6, DHCPv6, and RADIUS for IPv6

Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing

• Supports a large number of Layer 2 devices with a 16K MAC address table. Supports IEEE 802.1ad QinQ and selective QinQ that increase scalability by providing a hierarchical structure
• Supports jumbo frames with frame size of up to 10000-byte, improving the performance of large data transfers
• Supports Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) that monitors link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected, preventing loops in STP-based networks

Enhanced quality of service

• The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch Series supports advanced classifier based QoS, which groups traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2 and 3 information. It applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or entire switch.
• Provides traffic prioritization with supported congestion actions include strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), weighted random early detection (WRED), and SP+WRR and traffic policing with Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate.
• Reduce unwanted network traffic with broadcast control and limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic.

Energy efficiency

• The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch Series improves energy efficiency and reduces energy costs through the use of the latest advances in silicon development; switches idle ports to energy-saving mode, shuts off unused ports, and utilizes variable-speed fans.
• Provides support for RoHS and WEEE regulations.

Software-defined networking

• Supports OpenFlow 1.3 specification to enable SDN by allowing separation of the data (packet forwarding) and control (routing decision) paths.
