HPE Networking Instant On 5412R zl2 J9822A network switch

HPE Aruba 5412R zl2 managed rack switch

The HPE Aruba 5412R zl2 J9822A is a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch in a 7U rack-mountable enclosure. It provides Layer 3 routing with a 1 Tbps switching capacity and 785.7 Mpps throughput. The unit includes an internal power supply, a fan tray and a single RJ-45 management port. It is built for network cores that need IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables of 10000 and 5000 entries respectively.

Network teams needing deep routing tables

This switch suits administrators who require OSPF, BGP, VRRP and multicast protocols plus Non-Stop Routing for continuous operation. It fits environments that rely on ACLs, QoS, MLD snooping and UDLD for traffic control. Buyers who need high-density access ports or PoE budgets should look elsewhere, as the chassis ships with only the management interface and no line cards.

Chassis core for modular campus deployments

The 17.5 in wide chassis accepts line cards and management modules to scale port count and uplink speed. Dual management modules enable hitless failover while the internal power supply and fan tray handle cooling and power without external bricks. The 64K MAC address table supports large Layer 2 domains, freeing upstream routers from excessive ARP traffic. Rack space and compatible modules are required to complete the build.
