Frequently asked questions

What is the total PoE power budget and per-port capability?

The HP 5500-24G-PoE+ SI provides 740W total PoE+ power budget across all 24 ports, delivering up to 30W per port compliant with IEEE 802.3at standard. This enables simultaneous power delivery to 24 devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras without separate power supplies, significantly reducing installation costs and infrastructure complexity.

What Layer 3 routing protocols are supported?

The switch supports advanced Layer 3 routing including OSPF, RIP-1, RIP-2, BGP, and static IP routing. This enables inter-VLAN routing and network segmentation without external routers, reducing infrastructure complexity. The hardware-accelerated routing engine delivers sub-4 microsecond latency with 176 Gbps switching capacity and 112 Mpps forwarding rate.

What uplink options are available for backbone connectivity?

The switch includes 4 shared 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports supporting both multimode and single-mode optical transceivers. This provides 40 Gbps aggregate uplink bandwidth for connecting to core infrastructure, enabling flexible deployment options for campus networks with long-distance connectivity capabilities.

Can this switch be expanded with additional modules?

Yes, the SI variant includes 2 interface expansion slots enabling future module additions for additional ports or functionality. This provides investment protection and scalability as network requirements grow without requiring complete switch replacement.

What management options are available?

The switch offers comprehensive management through web GUI, command-line interface (CLI), SNMP, and Telnet. A dedicated console management port enables out-of-band management for troubleshooting and configuration, supporting integration with enterprise network management systems.

Is this switch suitable for IP telephony and surveillance deployments?

Yes, the 740W PoE+ budget and 24 dedicated PoE+ ports make this switch ideal for IP telephony and surveillance systems. The Layer 3 routing enables voice VLAN segmentation for quality of service, while the 10G uplinks provide sufficient bandwidth for video traffic from multiple IP cameras.

What is the switching capacity and latency performance?

The switch delivers 176 Gbps total switching capacity with 112 million packets per second forwarding rate and sub-4 microsecond latency. The non-blocking architecture ensures wire-speed performance across all ports simultaneously, making it suitable for latency-sensitive enterprise applications.
