What ports does the HPE 5500-24G-4SFP HI offer?

It includes 24x RJ-45 autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with Auto-MDIX and duplex support; 4x fixed Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports; 2x SFP+ 10GbE ports; 2 expansion slots for up to 38x 1GbE ports; plus 1x serial console and 1x out-of-band management RJ-45 port. This configuration supports flexible Gigabit and 10G uplinks.

What is the switching performance?

Switching capacity is 176 Gbps with 130.9 Mpps throughput. Latency measures <5 µs at 1000 Mbps and <3 µs at 10 Gbps. It handles 32,000 MAC addresses and up to 12,000 IPv4/6,000 IPv6 routes, ensuring non-blocking operation for enterprise traffic.

Does it support Layer 3 routing?

Yes, as a Layer 3 managed switch, it supports IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack routing with 12K IPv4 and 6K IPv6 entries. Protocols include ECMP, SNMP v1-3, sFlow, IEEE 802.1AG, and 802.3AH, enabling advanced routing and multiservice edge networking.

What resiliency features are available?

IRF stacking for virtual resilient fabrics, separate data/control paths, DLDP, and dual hot-swap power supply slots (ordered separately) provide high availability. This minimizes downtime in data centers and campuses with redundant configurations.

What are the physical dimensions and power details?

1U rack-mount form factor: 44 cm depth, 36 cm height, 4.37 cm width. Features 2 power supply slots requiring 1 minimum (redundant capable, ordered separately), with 1GB SDRAM, 512MB flash, and 3MB packet buffer for reliable performance.

Yes, 2 port expansion module slots support additional autosensing 100/1000 ports, up to 38 total. Fixed 2x SFP+ and optional modules allow up to 6x 10GbE or 70GbE ports, providing investment protection for growing networks.
