What is the maximum switching capacity and forwarding rate?

The HPE FlexFabric 5700 delivers 960Gbps switching capacity with a forwarding rate of 250 Mpps. This enables high-performance data transfer across all 54 ports (48 x 1GbE, 4 x 10GbE, 2 x 40GbE) simultaneously, supporting dense server deployments and high-bandwidth uplink requirements in enterprise data centers.

What latency performance can I expect?

The switch provides sub-1.5µs latency on 10GbE ports and sub-5µs latency on 64-byte packets, ensuring minimal packet delay for time-sensitive applications. IRF technology adds <50msec convergence time during network topology changes, critical for virtualized environments and high-frequency trading applications.

How many VLANs and MAC addresses does it support?

The FlexFabric 5700 supports 4,094 VLANs based on port with QinQ and Selective QinQ capabilities. The MAC address table accommodates 128,000 entries, allowing support for numerous connected devices without reducing speed or efficiency in large-scale enterprise deployments.

What management and monitoring capabilities are included?

Management options include SNMP v1/v2c/v3, sFlow (RFC 3176), and HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) integration. Troubleshooting features include ingress/egress port monitoring, traceroute, and ping. CLI, Telnet, SSH, DHCP, and web-based management are also supported for comprehensive network control.

Is this switch suitable for converged infrastructure?

Yes. The switch supports DCB (Data Center Bridging), FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), and TRILL protocols, enabling convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic. Layer 2/Light Layer 3 features with static routing and RIP provide flexible network architecture for mixed workload environments.

What are the power requirements and physical specifications?

The switch features a 1U rack-mountable form factor (1.72 x 17.32 x 18.11 inches) with dual AC/DC power supply slots (1 minimum required, ordered separately). Maximum power rating is 162-175W with idle power consumption of 90-115W, making it energy-efficient for continuous data center operation.

Does this switch support IRF for network virtualization?

Yes. HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology enables spine/leaf configurations for network virtualization and two-tier architectures. IRF supports ECMP (Equal-Cost Multipath) and delivers <50msec convergence time, simplifying network management and enabling faster application response during topology changes.
