About the HPE Comware 5520 HI

The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5520 HI delivers superior performance, high availability and manageability with advanced features at the access and aggregation layer of medium and large enterprise networks.

These switches deliver faster performance and advanced L3 features with support for larger ARP/MAC tables and Longest Prefix Match (LPM). VXLAN and EVPN enable greater scalability. Support for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) and Bi-directional Forwarding Detection (BFD) provide resiliency. Intelligent Resilient framework (IRF) ensures high availability. Support for IPv4/IPv6, OpenFlow, and MPLS/VPLS features for investment protection with an easy transition from IPv4 to IPv6 networks.

These switches also include SmartMC at no additional cost, and when combined with Intelligent Management Center (IMC), it provides both embedded network management and enhanced network visibility.

  • Larger MAC tables (up to 64K), Longest Prefix Match (LPM), switching capacity of up to 336 Gbps and throughput of upto 180 Mpps enable faster switching.
  • Smart Management Center (SmartMC) provides centralized network management and maintains dispersed network edge devices at no additional cost.
  • Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Ethernet VPN (EVPN) enable both isolation and greater scalability of L2/L3 overlay services and multicast.
  • New made in USA TAA-compliant SKUs offer heightened security via manual and automated source code analysis to address common programming issues, easing concerns about 'made in China' products.

Powerful Performance

  • The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5520 HI provides medium and large enterprise networks with increased processing power, Larger MAC size tables, and Longest Prefix Match (LPM) to improve network performance and scalability by enabling multipathing.
  • Non-blocking architecture delivers up to 336 Gbps of wire-speed switching and up to 180 Mpps throughput.
  • Supports Equal-Cost Multipath that enables multiple equal-cost links in a routing environment to increase link redundancy and scale bandwidth.

Highly Resilient and Scalable Access Layer Switches

  • The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5520 HI uses Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) that supports virtualization of up to nine physical switches into one logical device for simpler, flatter, and more agile networks.
  • Delivers outstanding resiliency, security, and multiservice support capabilities for traditional large enterprise networks. It supports advanced technologies such as OAM, RRPP, BFD, Multi-level QoS, MPLS, and VPLS.
  • Dual, redundant, hot-swappable power supplies maintain a dynamic network that delivers up to 1440 Watts of PoE+ for powered cameras, phones, and wireless access points.
  • Supports Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) where groups of two routers can dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments.
  • Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Ethernet VPN (EVPN) allow greater flexibility to integrate into existing networks, better scalability without redesigning the underlay network, enhanced security to restrict attacks, and improved performance specially in spine-leaf architectures.

Robust Quality of Service (QoS)

  • The 5520 HI Series supports advanced classifier-based QoS which groups traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2 and 3 information; it applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or the entire switch.
  • Provides extensive traffic prioritization with strict priority (SP)
