Description
The HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Switch Series is a versatile, high-performance, modular switch designed for the evolving needs of integrated services networks. Deployed across verticals at the enterprise LAN core, aggregation layer and wiring closet edge it offers 40GbE connectivity, cost-effective wire-speed 10GbE ports, high-density PoE/PoE+, and advanced functionality with service modules. With Hewlett Packard Enterprise Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology, the 7500 Switch can be virtualized across four chassis with a single management interface—enabling flatter, more agile networks.

Features
Versatile Switch Delivers Intelligent, Real-time Services for the Campus
– The HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Switch Series is designed for the evolving network demands of campus LAN core, aggregation, and access layer.
– This series offers up to 160 Gbps of switching capacity per slot using two switch and routing units (SRPUs) and up to 1440 W for PoE/PoE+ power per slot for mission-critical applications.
– Broad offering of interfaces includes 40GbE connectivity, cost-effective high-density 10GbE ports and high-density PoE/PoE+ of up to 480 PoE/PoE+ ports for IP phones, cameras, and future high-density Internet of Things (IoT) deployments.
– Includes advanced hardware feature sets such as VXLAN to build Layer 2 overlay networks using Layer 3 underlays, and MACsec for greater end-point or switch-to-switch security.
– No hidden costs with the license-free Layer 2 and 3 feature set, including IPv6, MPLS functionality, and robust Quality of Service (QoS).
Architected for a High-performance Network
– The HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Switch Series supports a maximum of 4,160 Gb/s switching capacity from a 2.4 Tbps ASIC, delivering enhanced performance and future expansion capability.
– Delivers up to 2,380 Mpps of packet performance with dual fabrics performing all switching and routing functions in the I/O modules, meeting current and future demands of bandwidth-intensive applications.
– HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) allows up to four 7500 Switch Series chassis to be virtualized into a single switching/routing fabric that improves network performance and resiliency, simplifying your deployment and management.
Robust Security and Quality of Service (QoS) Controls
– The HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Switch Series includes a robust set of security and quality of service features to build a trusted network that meets your ever-changing corporate policies and compliances.
– Flexible authentication options include 802.1X, MAC and Web Authentication, and Endpoint Admission Defense, delivering greater security and policy-driven application authentication.
– Advanced distributed denial of service (DDOS) protection, such as DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and ARP Protection, and flexible traffic controls, such as policy-based routing, QoS, and ACLs, are available to manage end-to-end application priorities.
– The 7500 Switch Series includes a powerful set of multilevel-access security controls, such as varying security management login, RADIUS, SSH, TACACS/TACACS+, to protect and control change management access.
Single Management View of the Network
– The HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Switch Series can be managed as a part of a larger network with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Software.
– IMC provides end-to-end visibility and control of the wired network through comprehensive configuration, compliance and policy management.
– IMC functions seamlessly in a multivendor network environment providing ease of management across the network edge to data center.
– IMC supports port and traffic mirroring, RMON and sFlow.
