What processor and memory does it use?

It features a dual-core MIPS processor at 1.2 GHz with 512 MB flash and 8 GB DDR2 SDRAM. This supports large routing tables (256K IPv4/64K IPv6) and MAC tables up to 256K, ideal for enterprise core duties with MPLS and QoS.

What management interfaces are available?

Management includes IMC, command-line interface, out-of-band serial RS-232C, SNMP, Telnet, terminal interface, modem interface, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet MIB, and Ethernet MIB. HPE IRF allows virtualization of up to four chassis for single-pane management.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

Dimensions are 44 x 66 x 79.7 cm in an 18-slot horizontal 18U chassis weighing 75.4 kg (empty). Full configuration reaches 172.8 kg, designed for standard racks with redundancy in power and fans.

What power and environmental specs does it support?

Voltage input is 100-120/200-240 VAC or -48 to -60 VDC (power supply dependent). Operating humidity is 10-95% noncondensing, ensuring reliability in diverse data center conditions with high availability features.

Is it suitable for data center virtualization?

Yes, with HPE IRF technology virtualizing up to four chassis supporting over 2,300 line-rate 10GbE ports. Hardware-based VXLAN and MACSec enable Layer 2 overlays on Layer 3 underlays for advanced data center networks.
