Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

The standard 5500-24G-4SFP HI model does not include PoE. However, HPE offers a PoE+ variant (5500-24G-PoE+-4SFP HI) that provides up to 1,440 W of PoE+ power with dual power supply configuration for powering IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points.

What routing protocols and features are supported?

The switch supports complete IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack routing with 12,000 IPv4 and 6,000 IPv6 routing table entries. It includes OpenFlow and MPLS/VPLS support for advanced network services, enabling seamless transitions between IPv4 and IPv6 networks while supporting modern software-defined networking architectures.

What is the switching fabric architecture?

The HPE 5500-24G-4SFP HI features a nonblocking switching fabric that delivers 176 Gbps of switching capacity. This architecture ensures wire-speed performance across all ports simultaneously without congestion, guaranteeing consistent throughput of 130.9 Mpps regardless of traffic patterns or port utilization.

How many MAC addresses can the switch learn and store?

The switch supports a 32,000-entry MAC address table, enabling it to handle large-scale enterprise networks with thousands of connected devices. This capacity ensures reliable switching performance in complex network environments with multiple VLANs and network segments.

What are the physical dimensions and power requirements?

The switch measures 4.37 x 44 x 36 cm (1.72 x 17.32 x 14.17 inches) in a 1U rack-mount form factor. Maximum power rating is 141 W with maximum heat dissipation of 481 BTU/hr (507.46 kJ/hr), making it suitable for standard data center rack deployments with typical cooling infrastructure.

What uplink options are available for high-bandwidth connections?

The switch provides 2 fixed SFP+ 10GbE ports for high-bandwidth uplinks, delivering 20 Gbps total uplink capacity. Optional 10GbE expansion modules support additional connections via copper, XFP, SFP+, or CX4 interfaces, with CX4 stacking achieving 12 Gbps per connection for up to 96 Gbps total stacking bandwidth.
