HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5720 is designed to cater to diverse customer needs. This cost-effective access switch offers hybrid SFP+ and 10GBASE-T options, along with multigigabit support on 10GBASE-T ports, allowing scalability from 10GbE SFP+ to 100G QSFP28.
These data center leaf / access layer switches come with MACsec support and 10GBASE-T additional modules. Features such as distributed resilient network interconnect (DRNI) and HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) enhance network resiliency while redundant pluggable power supplies provide a dynamic and highly available network.
Moreover, these switches support HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC), which delivers a consistent network manageability experience. Streamline network management processes for greater efficiency through centralized configuration, compliance, policy management, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Features | Maximize your HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5720 | What's New
- Cost-effective access switch with hybrid SFP+ and 10GBASE-T with multigigabit options on 10GBASE-T port-5G, 2.5G, 1G.
 - DRNI combines multiple physical switches into one virtual distributed-relay (DR) system for doubling aggregate bandwidth, faster forwarding, resiliency, and high availability.
 - Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) with lite Ethernet VPN (EVPN) allows greater flexibility, better performance with wirespeed, enhanced security, and better scalability.
 - Hardware-based MACsec enable end-to-end encrypted security.
 - The Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology enabling greater resilience and scalability with IRF stacking.
 - VXLAN and EVPN enable isolation and greater scalability of L2/L3 overlay services and multicast.
