Product overview
These Gigabit Ethernet switches deliver outstanding security, reliability, and multiservice support capabilities for robust switching at
the edge or aggregation layer of large enterprise and campus networks or in the core layer of SMB networks. The HP A5500G EI
Switch Series is comprised of Layer 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switches that can accommodate the most demanding applications and
provide resilient and secure connectivity as well as the latest traffic prioritization technologies to enhance applications on convergent
networks. With complete IPv4/IPv6 dual stack support, the series provides investment protection with an easy transition from IPv4 to
IPv6 networks. Designed for increased flexibility, these switches are available with 24 or 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Power over
Ethernet (PoE) and non-PoE models are available with optional GbE and 10 GbE expansion capability. The all-fiber model with dual
power supplies is ideal for applications that require the highest availability.

Features and benefits


Quality of Service (QoS)

Storm restraint:
restraint allows limitation of broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted broadcast
traffic on the network
Advanced classifier-based QoS: QoS classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies
QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to bi-directional selected traffic on a per-port, per-VLAN, or whole
switch basis
Powerful QoS feature:
feature creates traffic classes based on ACLs, IEEE 802.1p precedence, IP, DSCP or ToS precedence; supports
filter, redirect, mirror, or remark; supports the following congestion actions: strict priority queuing (SP), weighted round robin
(WRR), SP+WRR, weighted fair queuing (WFQ), and weighted random early discard (WRED)
Traffic policing:
policing supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate

Management

Friendly port names:


names allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
Remote configuration and management:
management is available through a secure Web browser or a command-line interface (CLI)

Technical Specifications
Electrical characteristics Maximum heat dissipation 700 BTU/hr (738.5 kJ/hr)
Voltage 100-240 VAC
DC Voltage 52 to -55 VDC
Maximum power rating 575 W
PoE power 370 W
Frequency 50/60 Hz
Notes Maximum power rating and maximum heat dissipation are the worst-case
theoretical maximum numbers provided for planning the infrastructure with
fully loaded PoE (if equipped), 100% traffic, all ports plugged in, and all
modules populated. PoE power is the power supplied by the internal power
supply. It is dependent on the type and quantity of power supplies and may
be supplemented with the use of an external power supply (EPS).
With DC input, the maximum power consumption is 485 W (370 W for PoE).
