What is the port configuration of HPE J9540A?

HPE J9540A features 92 autosensing 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports in a 12-slot chassis, including one J9535A module with 20-port Gig-T PoE+/4-port SFP v2 (up to 4 SFP transceivers). Supports expansion to 144 Gigabit or 96 10GbE ports with additional modules.

What switching performance does J9540A provide?

Fully populated chassis delivers 758.4 Gbps switching capacity and 564.2 Mpps forwarding rate. Latency under 3.7 μs (FIFO) for small packets ensures wire-speed non-blocking performance across all ports in high-density environments.

Is J9540A suitable for PoE+ deployments?

Yes, includes two J9306A 1500W PoE+ zl power supplies supporting 30W per port on 92 Gigabit ports. Ideal for powering IP phones, APs, and cameras with external PoE connectors for additional capacity.

What chassis and expansion options are available?

12-slot chassis (4U height) with open module slots for up to 48 10GbE or 144 Gigabit ports. Compatible with J9546A 8-port 10GBASE-T v2 and J9538A 8-port 10GbE SFP+ v2 modules for uplink flexibility.

What software features does it support?

Premium Software enables Layer 2/3 routing, IRF stacking for virtual chassis, advanced QoS, ACL security, and IPv6. Designed for enterprise edge/core with management via RJ-45 out-of-band port.

How does J9540A handle high-scale networks?

64k MAC address table and robust buffering support large deployments. Non-blocking architecture ensures smooth data flow during peak traffic in campus or data center scenarios.
