Hp Procurve Switch 5400Zl Series - HP 5400zl Series Technical Overview

HP ProCurve Switch 5400zl Series

The HP ProCurve Switch 5400zl series is a high-end edge switch. This switch series has been designed
to be a feature-oriented high-performance wiring closet switch. It can also be used as a low-to-medium
distribution switch when used with Premium License, described later in this document.
The 5400zl series is the latest generation of managed chassis products from HP ProCurve. The 5400zl
series follows in the evolution of HP ProCurve managed chassis switches, featuring Power over
Ethernet (PoE) on every copper port, chassis flexibility in the stackable price range, and a scalable
architecture.
The 5406zl and 5412zl switches each require a single management module that initializes, controls,
and monitors the various line and service modules and the switch fabric. The 5406zl switch has six
slots available for population with interface modules, whereas the 5412zl switch has twelve slots
available. The 5406zl and 5412zl switches support the same line interface and service modules. The
line interface modules are the 24-port 10/100/1000, 20-port 10/100/1000 + 4-port mini-GBIC, 24-port
mini-GBIC, 4-port 10-GbE X2, and 4-port 10-GbE CX4. The service modules include the Wireless
Edge Services (WESM) zl Module and the HP ProCurve ONE Services zl Module. The 5406zl switch
supports up to two internal power supplies, and the 5412zl switch supports up to four internal power
supplies. The power supplies can be used for purposes of power redundancy or for additional PoE
requirements.
The base configuration for the 5406zl (J8697A) includes a management module, Intelligent Edge
software, and 6 open slots. Line interface modules can be added as needed for connectivity. The base
configuration for the 5412zl (J8698A) includes a management module, Intelligent Edge software, and
12 open slots. Line interface modules can be added to the 5412zl as needed for connectivity. Note that
NO power supplies ship with base chassis products—they must be ordered separately.
The management module monitors the ambient temperature of the system. In the event the temperature
exceeds a product-specified threshold, an SNMP trap and event log entry are generated.
