What are the exact port configurations on the HP JC106A?

Features 14 fixed 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports for fiber, 4x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports, 2 module expansion slots, 1 open slot, and 1 RJ-45 serial console. Supports up to 24 SFP+ transceivers total with modules for flexible 10GbE density.

Does this switch support stacking and how many units?

Yes, IRF stacking supports up to 10 units managed as one logical switch with hitless failover. Reduces management complexity and cabling while providing redundancy for high-availability data center top-of-rack or aggregation layers.

What Layer 3 routing protocols are supported?

Full L3 routing including OSPF, RIP v1/v2, BGP, static IP, plus IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack. Hardware-accelerated for line-rate performance on all ports, suitable for inter-VLAN routing without external router dependency.

Is FCoE supported on this model?

Yes, FCoE ready with optional JC530A 4-port 8/4/2Gbps FCoE SFP+ module. Enables lossless Ethernet storage connectivity converging LAN/SAN fabrics in a single 10GbE infrastructure.

What management interfaces are available?

Comprehensive: SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON, Telnet, HTTP/HTTPS, CLI via console/SSH. Supports syslog, DHCP, VLANs for enterprise-grade monitoring and configuration automation.

What is the form factor and power requirements?

2U rack-mountable chassis with hot-swappable power supplies (1 required, redundant supported) and fan trays. Designed for standard 19-inch EIA racks with high airflow for dense 10GbE deployments.

Product overview

The HP A5820-14XG-SFP+ (JC106A) is a high-performance Layer 2/3 managed stackable switch designed for enterprise data center top-of-rack, aggregation, and campus core deployments. It features 14 fixed 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports for high-density fiber connectivity, 4 autosensing 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports for local management and access, and 2 expansion module slots plus 1 open slot for flexible scalability up to additional 10GbE or FCoE modules. Supporting stacking of up to 10 units, it delivers resilient IRF virtual stacking with line-rate 10GbE performance, cut-through switching for ultra-low latency, and full IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack routing including OSPF, RIP, BGP. The 2U rack-mountable chassis includes hot-swappable power supplies and fans for high availability. With 512MB SDRAM, 2MB buffer, and 32K MAC address table, it handles demanding workloads like server access, FCoE storage connectivity, and high-availability network cores. Advanced features include Open Application Architecture (OAA) for embedded services, comprehensive QoS, ACLs, and security protocols, reducing rack space and power while consolidating network functions for cost-efficient enterprise infrastructure.
