Does this switch support Layer 3 routing?

Yes, the 5800AF-48G is a full Layer 3 managed switch supporting IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack routing with OSPF, BGP, and VRRP protocols. It includes 16,000 IPv4 routing table entries and 32K MAC address table for enterprise-scale deployments.

What redundancy features are included?

The switch features dual hot-swappable AC power supplies with 1+1 redundancy, hot-swappable fan modules, and VRRP support for gateway failover. This architecture eliminates single points of failure for mission-critical deployments.

How is this switch managed?

Management options include web-based GUI, command-line interface (CLI), and SNMP v1/v2c/v3 for integration with existing monitoring platforms. The 1 RJ-45 serial console port provides out-of-band management access.

What is the latency performance?

The switch provides sub-5 microsecond latency on 64-byte packets using cut-through switching architecture. This low-latency design is essential for virtualized environments, storage networks, and real-time applications.

What are the physical dimensions and power requirements?

The 1U rack-mountable switch measures 44 x 39.7 x 4.4 cm and weighs 5.95 kg. Maximum power consumption is 85W at 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for standard data center power infrastructure.

Can this switch be stacked with other HPE switches?

Yes, the 5800AF-48G supports HPE's Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology, enabling local or geographically distributed switches to be stacked for simplified management and increased port density.
