Description
The HPE FlexNetwork 5130 Switch Series is a high-performance Layer 3 managed enterprise switch, designed for access-layer deployment in medium to large campus networks. It delivers scalability, resiliency, and advanced networking features required for modern enterprise environments.
The 5130 series supports Gigabit Ethernet access ports (24/48 ports) along with 10GbE SFP+ uplinks, enabling high-speed connectivity to aggregation or core layers. It is available in multiple variants including EI (Enhanced Image) and HI (High-end Image) models, offering different levels of Layer 3 functionality.
A key feature is IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) stacking, allowing multiple switches to operate as a single logical unit. This simplifies management, increases redundancy, and improves network performance.
The switch supports enterprise-grade capabilities such as:
- Layer 3 routing (static routing, RIP)
- QoS (Quality of Service) for traffic prioritization
- Advanced security (ACLs, 802.1X, MAC authentication)
- IPv6 support
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) for reduced power consumption
Many models include PoE+ support, allowing power delivery to IP phones, wireless access points, and CCTV cameras.
The 5130 series is managed via:
- CLI (Command Line Interface)
- SNMP
- HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) for centralized control
Typical use cases:
- Enterprise campus access layer
- Aggregation for branch networks
- VoIP and wireless deployments
- CCTV and surveillance systems
🔑 Key Features:
- Layer 3 managed switch with advanced routing
- 24/48 Gigabit ports with optional PoE+
- 10GbE SFP+ uplinks for high-speed backbone
- IRF stacking for scalability and redundancy
- Enterprise security, QoS, and IPv6 support
