Data sheet | HP 7500 Switch Series
• Ethernet operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM)
Detects the data link layer problems that occur in the "last mile," using the IEEE 802.3ah OAM
standard; and monitors the status of the link between two devices
• Flexible port selection
Includes 100/1000BASE-X auto speed selection, 10/100/1000BASE-T auto speed detection, as
well as auto duplex and MDI/MDI-X
• Monitor link
Collects statistics on performance and errors on physical links, increasing system availability
• IEEE 802.3af PoE
Provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such as IP
phones, wireless access points, and security cameras
• Dual-personality functionality
Includes four 10/100/1000 ports or SFP slots for optional fiber connectivity, such as Gigabit-
SX, -LX, and -LH and 100-FX
• Packet storm protection
Protects against unknown broadcast, unknown multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined
thresholds
• Flow control
Provides back pressure, using standard IEEE 802.3x—reducing congestion in heavy traffic
situations
• IEEE 802.3at PoE+ support
Provides up to 30 W of power to the power sourcing equipment
Performance
• High-speed fully distributed architecture
Supports a maximum of 1,152 Gb/s switching capacity with a 2.4 Tb/s backplane, providing
enhanced performance and future expansion capability; delivers up to 714 Mp/s throughput
with dual fabrics; performs all switching and routing functions in the I/O modules; and meets
the current and future demand of an enterprise's bandwidth-intensive applications
• Scalable system design
Provides investment protection to support future technologies and higher-speed connectivity
with a backplane designed to accommodate bandwidth increases
• Flexible chassis selection
Enables you to tailor your product selections to your budget with a choice of six chassis,
ranging from a 10-slot to a 2-slot chassis
