What is the switching capacity and throughput?

Switching capacity is 176 Gbit/s with up to 130.9 Mpps throughput. This nonblocking architecture supports high-performance Layer 3 routing with 32000 MAC addresses and large routing tables (12000 IPv4, 6000 IPv6 entries).

What are the latency specifications?

Latency measures <5 µs at 1000 Mbps and <3 µs at 10 Gbps. This low latency ensures efficient handling of real-time traffic in enterprise environments with jumbo frame support up to 12,288 bytes.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

Dimensions are 4.37 x 44 x 36 cm (1.72 x 17.32 x 14.17 in) or 4.37 x 44 x 42 cm (1.72 x 17.32 x 16.54 in), with 1U height. Weight is 10.5 kg (23.15 lb), rack-mountable in standard 19-inch EIA telco racks.

Does it support power redundancy?

Yes, it has dual hot-swappable power supply slots (no PSU included). This design provides high availability and resiliency for continuous operation in critical network deployments.

What management options are provided?

Includes 1 RJ-45 out-of-band management port and 1 RJ-45 serial console port. Compatible with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) for unified network management and supports Comware OS features like IRF stacking.
