8 Gigabit Ports with 2 SFP and 2 Combo Ports
The HPE Comware Switch 5140 (R8J42A) features 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, including 2 dedicated SFP ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet combo ports. The combo ports support either SFP fiber or Gigabit Ethernet copper connections, offering businesses the flexibility to adapt their network design based on their unique needs. The 2 SFP ports enable fiber-optic connectivity, which is essential for connecting to core switches, data centers, and long-distance networks. This port configuration allows seamless connectivity to servers, access points, and desktop devices, making it an ideal switch for edge, branch, or access layer deployment.
Layer 2/3 Switching for Advanced Traffic Control
The HPE 5140 Comware Switch (R8J42A) supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, providing enhanced control over network traffic and efficient network segmentation. Layer 2 capabilities include support for VLANs, link aggregation (LACP), spanning tree (STP), and Quality of Service (QoS) for smooth traffic management and efficient bandwidth allocation. With Layer 3 routing, the switch supports static routing, RIP, OSPF, and DHCP relay, enabling efficient routing of inter-VLAN traffic and multi-site network connectivity. This hybrid Layer 2/3 functionality allows for seamless traffic flow, ensuring high availability and low latency for critical business applications.
Enterprise-Grade Security for Secure Network Access
The HPE Networking Comware Switch 5140 (R8J42A) offers comprehensive security features to protect against cyber threats, unauthorized access, and data breaches. It supports 802.1X Network Access Control (NAC), ensuring only authorized devices can access the network. Access Control Lists (ACLs) allow businesses to define access permissions for users, devices, and applications, while DHCP snooping, IP source guard, and ARP protection provide additional protection against ARP spoofing, IP hijacking, and rogue DHCP servers. The switch also enables secure remote management using SSH, SNMPv3, and RADIUS/TACACS+, ensuring encrypted remote access for IT administrators.
Simplified Network Management with HPE Comware OS
The HPE Comware OS provides a centralized, user-friendly experience for managing the HPE 5140 Switch (R8J42A). IT administrators can configure and monitor the switch using a web-based graphical user interface (GUI), Command Line Interface (CLI), and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). The switch supports centralized network management with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC), a powerful tool for managing multi-site network infrastructures. IMC allows IT teams to monitor performance, troubleshoot issues, and maintain network health from a single dashboard, ensuring reduced downtime and faster issue resolution.
