What is the switching capacity and forwarding performance of the HPE JC100A?

The HPE A5800-24G delivers 208 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity with 155 Mpps Layer 3 forwarding rate. This ensures wire-speed performance on all 24 Gigabit and 4 10-Gigabit ports simultaneously, ideal for high-density aggregation with full IPv4/IPv6 routing table support.

Does this switch support stacking for simplified management?

Yes, Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) enables stacking up to 9 units managed as one logical switch with single IP address. Provides hitless failover, unified configuration, and 80% reduction in management overhead compared to traditional stacking protocols.

What Layer 3 routing protocols are supported?

Full enterprise L3 routing suite: OSPF, BGP-4, IS-IS, RIP-1/2, PIM-SM/DM/SSM, VRRP, static routes. Hardware-accelerated forwarding with BFD for sub-second convergence. Supports full BGP tables and policy-based routing (PBR) for complex enterprise topologies.

What high availability features does it include?

Hot-plug redundant power supplies, fan modules, IRF virtual stacking with millisecond failover, RRPP ring protection (<50ms convergence), and STP root guard. 1+1 power redundancy ensures carrier-class availability for mission-critical deployments.

Is this switch suitable for data center top-of-rack deployment?

Yes, optimized for ToR with 10G SFP+ uplinks to spine, low-latency cut-through switching, 9K jumbo frames for storage traffic, and OAA slot for additional 10G density. 208Gbps capacity handles east-west server traffic patterns effectively.

What management interfaces are available?

Comprehensive management via CLI (console/SSH/Telnet), web GUI, SNMP v3, RMON, and HPE IMC. Supports sFlow/IPFIX traffic analysis, centralized IRF management, and OpenView integration for enterprise network operations centers.

Product overview

The HPE A5800-24G Switch (JC100A) is an enterprise-grade Layer 3 managed switch designed for edge, distribution, and data center environments. It features 24 autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports supporting full/half duplex operation and 4 fixed 10G SFP+ uplink ports for high-speed connectivity. With a switching capacity of 208 Gbps and forwarding rate up to 155 Mpps, it delivers wire-speed performance across all ports. The switch supports advanced Layer 3 routing protocols including OSPF, BGP-4, IS-IS, RIP, PIM, and static routing, alongside full IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack capabilities. Patented IRF technology enables stacking up to 9 units for simplified management as a single logical device. Additional features include jumbo frames up to 9K, QoS with 8 queues, ACLs, IGMP/MLD snooping, and security protocols like 802.1X and DOS prevention. High availability is ensured with hot-plug redundant power supplies and fans. Ideal for enterprise campus networks, it offers low-latency cut-through switching, RRPP for ring protection, and comprehensive management via CLI, web interface, SNMP, and IMC. Physical dimensions are 1U rack-mountable (44.0 x 42.7 x 4.36 cm), operating from 0°C to 45°C.
