What is the maximum throughput and latency of the HPE 5900AF switch?

The switch delivers 336 Gb/s non-blocking switching capacity with latency under 1.5 microseconds for 64-byte packets at 10GbE speeds. This ensures wire-speed performance across all ports simultaneously, making it suitable for latency-sensitive datacenter applications including HPC and financial trading systems.

Can the 40GbE QSFP+ ports be used as 10GbE connections?

Yes. Each 40GbE QSFP+ port can be configured as four 10GbE ports using a 40-GbE-to-10GbE splitter cable. This provides deployment flexibility, allowing organizations to scale 10GbE uplinks without replacing the switch hardware.

What routing capacity does this switch support?

The 5900AF supports 16,000 IPv4 routing table entries and 8,000 IPv6 entries, with a 128,000 MAC address table. This capacity supports large-scale enterprise networks and complex multi-tier datacenter architectures with full Layer 3 routing functionality.

Is this switch suitable for converged infrastructure deployments?

Yes. The switch supports Data Center Bridging (DCB), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and TRILL protocols, enabling converged storage and network traffic in virtualized environments. It also supports HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) for virtualization and two-tier architecture.

What are the power consumption specifications?

The related 5901AF model consumes maximum 96W and 70W at idle, with heat dissipation of 327.6 BTU/hr. The original 5900AF model has higher power consumption at 175W maximum and 115W idle with 597 BTU/hr heat dissipation. Verify exact specifications for your specific model variant.

What compliance certifications does the 5900AF hold?

The switch meets UL 60950-1, EN 60825-1, CISPR 32:2015 Class A, VCCI Class A, FCC CFR 47 Part 15B Class A, and ETSI EN 300 386 v1.3.3 standards. These certifications ensure compliance with international safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and regulatory requirements for enterprise deployments.

What management and console options are available?

The switch includes 1 x RJ-45 serial console port, 1 x RJ-45 out-of-band management port, and 1 x USB 2.0 port for management connectivity. Additional management ports include 1 x mini-USB and 1 x SFP GbE port for flexible out-of-band management access.
