Frequently asked questions

What is the switching capacity and throughput of the HPE JL829-61001?

The 5140 EI delivers 176 Gbps routing/switching capacity with 131 million packets per second (Mpps) throughput. Latency is sub-3µs on 10GbE ports and sub-5µs on Gigabit ports. This nonblocking architecture ensures wire-speed forwarding across all ports simultaneously, supporting high-density access layer deployments without performance degradation.

Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, the 5140 EI supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ with up to 30W per port across all 48 Gigabit ports. This eliminates the need for separate electrical cabling to power IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other PoE+-capable devices, reducing installation costs and complexity in campus deployments.

What Layer 3 routing capabilities does the 5140 EI provide?

The switch supports static Layer 3 routing and RIP (Routing Information Protocol) with a 1024-entry routing table. It includes IPv6 unicast routing, VRRP for gateway redundancy, and OSPF support (in higher-end variants). This enables basic inter-VLAN routing and network segmentation without requiring a separate router at the access layer.

How does HPE IRF (Intelligent Resilient Fabric) benefit network design?

IRF technology enables plug-and-play aggregation of multiple 5140 EI switches into a single logical device, simplifying network topology and providing device-level redundancy. Link aggregation across multiple switches implements automatic failover, enhancing availability and resource utilization while reducing management overhead compared to traditional stacking.

What uplink options are available for core network connectivity?

The switch includes four fixed 10GbE SFP+ ports for high-speed uplinks to core infrastructure. These ports support both 10GbE and 1GbE SFP+ transceivers, enabling flexible connectivity to existing fiber-based core networks. Multiple switches can be stacked via IRF to aggregate uplink capacity.

Is this switch suitable for energy-conscious deployments?

Yes, the 5140 EI includes Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) with automatic idle-port power-down and selective port powering. These green design features reduce operational power consumption in large-scale access layer deployments, lowering total cost of ownership while maintaining performance.

What management and monitoring capabilities are included?

The switch includes embedded Smart Management Center (SmartMC) at no additional cost for network management. It supports LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) for device discovery, sFlow (RFC 3176) for wirespeed network monitoring, and standard protocols like SNMP, Telnet, and SSH for remote management and troubleshooting.
