What transceivers are compatible with the 40 SFP+ ports?

Supports HPE X130 series 10G SFP+ transceivers including SR (300m MMF), LR (10km SMF), and ER (40km SMF) optics, plus 1G SFP for flexible speed negotiation. QSFP+ ports accept 40GBASE-SR4/LR4 modules and breakout to 4x10G SFP+.

Does this switch support stacking?

Yes, Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) stacking combines up to 10 units into one logical switch with 40G QSFP+ stack links, providing simplified management, high availability, and bandwidth aggregation without spanning tree complexity.

What is the exact switching capacity and forwarding rate?

Provides 1.44 Tbps full-duplex switching capacity with 1071 million packets per second Layer 2/3 forwarding rate. Achieves <1 μs latency for 10GbE port-to-port cut-through switching under full load with mixed frame sizes.

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

Optimized for ToR with high port density, low latency L3 routing (OSPF/BGP), VXLAN support for overlays, and RoCE for storage fabrics. 1U form factor with redundant PSUs/fans ensures reliability in 24/7 rack environments.

What power redundancy options are available?

Dual hot-swappable 650W AC or -48V DC power supplies with 1+1 redundancy. Supports power-on diagnostics and load sharing; typical consumption 250W with single PSU, enabling N+1 configurations for mission-critical uptime.

Does it support advanced Layer 3 protocols?

Full hardware L3 routing with OSPFv2/v3, RIPng, BGP4, PBR, and 128K IPv4/64K IPv6 routes. Includes multicast (PIM-SM/SSM) and EVPN for SDN-ready data center fabrics with virtual network segmentation.

Product overview

The HPE JG896-61001 is the FlexFabric 5700-40XG-2QSFP+ switch, a high-performance Layer 3 managed Ethernet switch designed for enterprise data centers and campus networks. It features 40 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports supporting 1/10GbE connectivity via flexible transceivers, plus 2 x 40 Gigabit QSFP+ uplink ports for high-speed aggregation to core infrastructure. This 1U rack-mountable switch delivers non-blocking wire-speed performance with advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities including OSPF, BGP, and RIP, enabling efficient traffic segmentation and virtualization support. Built for demanding workloads, it includes hardware-based ACLs, QoS with 8 queues per port, and stacking capabilities for scalable deployments up to multiple units managed as one. Management options encompass CLI, Web GUI, SNMP, and HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) for centralized control. With dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans, it ensures high availability in mission-critical environments. Ideal for top-of-rack deployments, server connectivity, and spine-leaf architectures, this TAA-compliant switch optimizes east-west traffic in virtualized and cloud environments while providing low-latency forwarding for storage and HPC applications.
