What is the maximum throughput of the HP 418551-001 switch assembly?

The assembly delivers 176 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity with 130.9 million packets per second (Mpps) throughput. This ensures wirespeed performance across all ports simultaneously, with latency under 5 microseconds for 1000 Mbps traffic and under 1.5 microseconds for 10 Gbps traffic.

How many ports does this switch assembly support?

The HP 418551-001 supports up to 48 fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports plus 4 SFP+ 1000/10000 ports for high-speed uplinks. Additional SFP slots provide flexibility for fiber connectivity, enabling configurations up to 48 Gigabit ports with multiple 10GbE uplink options.

Does this assembly support Layer 3 routing?

Yes, the assembly supports Layer 3 routing with static routes and RIP protocol. It includes IPv6 forwarding capabilities and maintains routing tables with 512 IPv4 entries and 256 IPv6 entries, enabling distributed routing without external routers.

What security features are included?

The assembly features hardware-based wirespeed ACLs with TCAM implementation, enabling line-rate security filtering without performance impact. It includes separate data and control paths for enhanced security isolation, comprehensive access control policies, and support for secure management via embedded HTML tools.

What power redundancy options are available?

The assembly includes 2 power supply slots with 1 minimum required. It supports external redundant power supplies for N+1 redundancy, with maximum power ratings of 460W AC (including 370W PoE+) or 890W DC with 800W PoE+ consumption, ensuring continuous operation during maintenance.

Is this assembly suitable for data center deployments?

Yes, the non-blocking 176 Gbps architecture, high port density, Layer 3 routing, and redundant power support make it ideal for data center core and distribution layers. The 130.9 Mpps throughput and hardware ACLs provide the performance and security required for mission-critical environments.

What management capabilities does the assembly provide?

Management features include embedded HTML-based tools with secure access, SNMP support, syslog capabilities, and a serial console port for out-of-band access. The separate control path architecture ensures management operations don't impact data plane performance.
