What is the maximum number of devices this switch can support?

The HPE 5510 48G 4SFP+ HI supports 48 Gigabit ports plus 4 SFP+ 10GbE ports in base configuration (52 total ports). With optional expansion modules, it can support up to 54 ports or 50 Gigabit-capable ports. The 32,768 MAC address table size determines the maximum unique devices per switch.

Can this switch be stacked with other HPE switches?

Yes. The switch supports Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology, allowing up to nine HPE 5510 HI switches to stack together with 160 Gbps inter-chassis stacking bandwidth. This creates a single logical switch for simplified management and high availability in large deployments.

What power options are available?

The switch supports dual power input: 100-240 VAC (rated) or -48 to -60 VDC (rated). Maximum power consumption is 150W with 70W idle power. Dual power supply configurations enable redundancy for continuous operation in critical environments.

Does this switch support PoE power delivery?

The JH146A (48G 4SFP+ HI) is a non-PoE model. HPE offers a PoE+ variant (JH148A) that delivers up to 30W per port on all 48 ports, supporting IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras with 1440W total PoE+ power.

What security features are included?

The switch includes MACSec (Media Access Control Security) on ports 1-8 for link-layer encryption. It supports IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack routing, OpenFlow for SDN integration, and MPLS/VPLS for service provider networks. These features enable secure, flexible network architectures.

What is the latency performance?

The switch delivers sub-5 microsecond latency on Gigabit (1GbE) connections and sub-3 microsecond latency on 10GbE SFP+ ports. This low-latency performance is critical for data center applications, virtualization, and real-time services requiring minimal packet delay.

Can I upgrade the uplink ports after purchase?

Yes. The switch includes one expansion module slot supporting optional modules with up to six additional 10GbE SFP+ ports or two 40GbE ports. This allows future bandwidth upgrades without replacing the entire switch, protecting your capital investment.
