Features and benefits
Quality of Service (QoS)
•
Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p): allows
real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels
mapped to eight queues
•
Class of Service (CoS): sets the IEEE 802.1p
priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service
(ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number,
source port, and DiffServ
•
Rate limiting: sets per-port ingress enforced
maximums and per-port, per-queue guaranteed
minimums
•
Bandwidth shaping:
– Rate limiting: provides per-port, ingress-based
enforced bandwidth maximums
– Guaranteed minimums: provides per-port,
per-queue egress-based guaranteed bandwidth
minimums
Management
•
Remote configuration and management: is
available through a secure Web browser or a
command-line interface (CLI)
•
Manager and operator privilege levels:
enable read-only (operator) and read-write
(manager) access on CLI and Web browser
management interfaces
•
Management VLAN: segments traffic to and
from management interfaces, including CLI/telnet, a
Web browser interface, and SNMP
•
RADIUS accounting support: separates RADIUS
accounting server support per SSID; provides
detailed session, usage, and billing information for
each client activity
•
IEEE 802.1ab LLDP discovery: advertises and
receives management information from adjacent
devices on a network
•
Multiple configuration files: can be stored to
the flash image
•
Dual flash images: provide independent primary
and secondary operating system files for backup
while upgrading
•
Secure Web GUI: provides a secure, easy-to-use
graphical interface for configuring the module via
HTTPS
•
Command-line interface (CLI): provides a
secure, easy-to-use command-line interface for
configuring the module via SSH or a switch console;
provides direct real-time session visibility
•
SNMPv1, v2c, and v3: facilitate centralized
discovery, monitoring, and secure management of
networking devices
•
3Com-heritage Comware V3 Operating
System: CLI and Web user interface in common
with HP E4XXX and E55XX series switches
•
Port mirroring: enables traffic on a port to be
simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for
monitoring
Connectivity
•
Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for
straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100
and 10/100/1000 ports
•
Built-in dual stacking ports: built-in 24 Gbps
stacking ports provide wire-speed high-bandwidth
resilient stacking up to 96 Gbps bandwidth full
duplex, for enterprise-class performance and
scalability
•
Optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports: add 10
Gigabit Ethernet connections for uplinks or
high-bandwidth server connections; flexibly support
XENPAK or XFP-style 10 Gigabit transceivers
•
Optional 8-port SFP module: add up to eight
additional wire-speed Gigabit ports for
unprecedented Gigabit density in a single 1U
enclosure
•
Dual-personality functionality: four
10/100/1000 ports or SFP slots for optional fiber
connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, or -LH
•
Upgradable IEEE 802.3af Power over
Ethernet (PoE): Start with a non-PoE unit and field
upgrade to PoE by installing a different power
supply; provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE
802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such as IP
phones, wireless access points, and security
cameras
•
Advanced stacking: locally connect up to eight
E5500G switches using built-in stacking ports and
manage as a single entity; improves resiliency by
spreading aggregated links across multiple stacked
units
