Product overview

The HP 5120 EI Switch Series is comprised of Gigabit Ethernet switches that support static Layer 3 routing, diversified services, and
IPv6 forwarding, as well as provide up to four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) extended interfaces. Unique Intelligent Resilient Framework
(IRF) technology creates a virtual fabric by managing several switches as one logical device, which increases network resilience,
performance, and availability while reducing operational complexity. These switches provide Gigabit Ethernet access and can be used
at the edge of a network or to connect server clusters in data centers. High scalability provides investment protection with two
expansion slots, each of which can support two-port 10 GbE expansion modules. High availability, simplified management, and
comprehensive security control policies are among the key features that distinguish this series.

Features and benefits

Quality of Service (QoS)
Broadcast control: allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic
Advanced classifier-based QoS: classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies
QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or whole switch
Powerful QoS feature: supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), and
SP+WRR
Traffic policing: supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
Management
Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
Remote configuration and management: is available through a secure Web browser or a CLI
Manager and operator privilege levels: enable read-only (operator) and read/write (manager) access on CLI and Web browser
management interfaces
Command authorization: leverages HWTACACS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's
login; also provides an audit trail
Secure Web GUI: provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS
Multiple configuration files: can be stored to the flash image
Complete session logging: provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution
SNMPv1, v2c, and v3: facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices
Remote monitoring (RMON): uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and
statistics group plus a private alarm extension group
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices
on a network, facilitating easy mapping by network management applications
sFlow (RFC 3176): provides scalable ASIC-based wire-speed network monitoring and accounting with no impact on network
