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 (10GbE) 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 10GbE 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
allows assignment of descriptive names to ports
Remote configuration and management
enables configuration and management through a secure Web browser or a CLI located on a remote device
Manager and operator privilege levels
provides 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
