What is the switching capacity and throughput of HPE 2920-24G?

The HPE 2920-24G provides 128 Gbps full-duplex switching capacity and 95.2 million pps forwarding rate. This non-blocking architecture supports simultaneous wire-speed performance across all 24x 1G ports and 4 dual-personality uplinks, ideal for dense access layer deployments with L2/L3 traffic.

Does the 2920-24G support Layer 3 routing features?

Yes, it includes static IPv4/IPv6 routing, RIP, and up to 2048 IPv4/256 IPv6 host routes. With 16K MAC address table, it handles enterprise routing at access/aggregation layers without bottlenecks, plus ACLs for traffic segmentation.

What stacking capabilities does it offer?

Supports stacking up to 4 switches via dedicated module at 40 Gbps bidirectional speed. Single IP management simplifies operations, with hitless failover for redundancy in SMB/branch environments requiring high availability.

What expansion options are available?

Features 2x 10GbE module slots and 1 stacking module slot. Compatible with HPE 10G SFP+/XFP transceivers, enabling uplink to 10G core/spine while maintaining 1G access density for cost-optimized growth.

What are the latency specifications?

Latency is <9.0 µs for L2, <3.3 µs for L3/IPv6 (64-byte FIFO packets). This low-latency design suits real-time applications like VoIP/video in campus networks, with consistent performance at full load.

Is it suitable for SDN deployments?

Yes, OpenFlow 1.3 support enables SDN controller integration for dynamic policy enforcement. ProVision ASIC provides hardware acceleration for scalable overlays in enterprise pilots transitioning to software-defined architectures.
