- The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 HI Switch series uses Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) to support virtualization of up to nine physical switches into one logical device for simpler, flatter, and more agile networks.
- The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 HI 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 the entire switch.
- HPE FlexNetwork 5140 HI Switch series supports flexible authentication methods including 802.1X, MAC Authentication and Encryption for greater device security and policy-driven application authentication. Per-user Access Control Lists (ACLs) provide identity-driven security and access control.
- The HPE FlexNetwork 5130 HI Switch Series can be seamlessly managed with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Software to provide end-to-end network transparency with consistent network experience through comprehensive configuration, compliance, and policy management.
The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 HI Switch Series delivers high availability and scalability at the access layer of medium and large enterprise campus networks. These switches offer high speed connectivity and flexibility with 10GbE uplinks and combo ports. Support for add-on modules increases capacity with additional features. It is a highly cost-effective switch with abundant features such as DRNI and IRF for improved resiliency, QoS features for better reliability, iNQA for real time network health performance and capacity visibility, hardware-based MACsec for end-to-end encrypted security, and dual redundant power supplies with Energy Efficient Ethernet for improved power saving. This switch series also includes Smart MC at no additional cost and, when combined with Intelligent Management Center (IMC), provides both embedded network management and enhanced network visibility.
