What are the key performance specs?

Features 345.6 Gbps switching fabric, 322.8 Gbps throughput, 240.2 Mpps forwarding rate, and <3.7 μs latency for 1000 Mb packets. Includes 256 MB DDR SDRAM, 4 MB flash, and 16,000-address table with configurable aging for high-speed, low-latency enterprise networking.

Does it support Layer 3 routing?

Yes, Layer 2-4 capable with IP static routes, RIP v1/v2, OSPF, IRDP, DHCP relay, and Spanning Tree. Supports up to 256 802.1Q VLANs, QoS, and security features via ProVision ASIC for granular control in routed access/aggregation.

What management options are available?

Managed via HP ProCurve Manager Plus, CLI, HTTP, SNMP, DHCP, and RS-232 console port. Includes QoS, VLAN configuration, and full-duplex port control. Plug-and-play with automatic MAC learning for rapid deployment.

Is PoE supported and what standard?

Supports IEEE 802.3af and pre-standard PoE via compatible zl modules on 10/100/1000Base-T ports. Bundles like 5406zl-48G include PoE+; open chassis requires PoE modules for powering devices like IP phones/access points.

What power and redundancy features?

Redundant power supplies supported (e.g., J8712A in bundles); input 110-127 V AC. Designed for high availability with dual supplies, ensuring uptime in mission-critical setups. Open chassis needs separate procurement.

Product overview

The HP ProCurve Switch 5406zl (SKU J8697-69001) is an enterprise-grade, chassis-based managed switch from the ProCurve 5400zl series, designed as an intelligent edge modular switch. It features a 6-slot open chassis (J8697A) for hot-swappable zl modules, enabling flexible configurations with Gigabit Ethernet, 10GbE (e.g., CX4), and PoE support via compatible modules. Key specs include a high-performance switching fabric up to 345.6 Gbps, throughput of 322.8 Gbps, and forwarding rate of 240.2 Mpps, with low latency under 3.7 μs for 1000 Mb packets. It supports Layer 2 to Layer 4 functionality, including QoS, VLANs (up to 256), static routing, RIP/OSPF, and Spanning Tree Protocol. Management options encompass CLI, HTTP, SNMP, and HP ProCurve Manager Plus. The rack-mountable 4U form factor (17.8" depth, 35 lbs) includes redundant power supplies, 256 MB standard memory, and 4 MB flash. Ideal for core/aggregation in large enterprise networks requiring scalability, low latency, and modular expansion without downtime.
