HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 QuickSpecs
Table of Contents
The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 are high-density, high-performance top-of-rack (ToR) switches suited for deployment at the core and aggregation layer of enterprise data centers, large cloud service providers, and telco environments.
These switches offer multiple connectivity options with high-density 400G connectivity and are backward compatible with the widely used 100G QSFP28 ports. Switching capacity of 12.8 Tbps and redundant hot-swappable power supplies offer exceptional performance with improved power savings. VXLAN/EVPN and DRNI lead to improved scalability and resiliency. Enhanced software features such as SR-MPLS running with the latest OS Comware v9 enables a dynamic and highly available network.
Overview
HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) support on these switches provides a consistent network manageability experience through centralized configuration, compliance, policy management, monitoring, and troubleshooting. The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 also supports HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer for DC fabric orchestration and application telemetry.
Key features
- – High-performance, high-density, and backward-compatible switch with varied 400/200/100G connectivity options
- – New-generation OS Comware v9 offering enhanced software features such as Segment Routing MPLS, egress ACL, egress rate limiting, and others for highly distributed environments
- – Dual, redundant, hot-swappable power supplies maintain a dynamic and highly available network
- – Supports HPE IMC for a consistent network manageability experience; integrates with HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer for DC fabric orchestration, monitoring, and application telemetry
Standard Features
Features and Benefits
Consistent and advanced data center switches with flexible connectivity options
- – The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 offers multiple connectivity options of 25/40/100/200/400G with three SKUs
- A high-density 32 x 400GbE QSFP-DD switch
- A highly flexible 24x100/200G + 8x400G QSFP-DD switch that is backward compatible with the widely used 100G QSFP28 ports
- A high-density 48x100G 6 QSFP-DD switch
- – Supports new-generation OS Comware v9 offering enhanced features such as SR-MPLS, SRv6, and others for highly distributed environments built on a modular and open architecture; supports containerized deployment; can run third-party software applications
- – VXLAN/EVPN for network virtualization and overlay solutions for improved flexibility
- – Supports DRNI that combines multiple physical switches into one virtual distributed-relay (DR) system for doubling aggregate bandwidth, fast forwarding, resiliency, and high availability
High-Performance Data Center Switching
- – The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 supports redundant, hot-swappable power modules and varied fan speeds to meet the actual demands, thereby, ensuring a dynamic and highly available network
- – Delivers up to 25.6 Tbps switching capacity for demanding data center applications
- – Low latency, under 1 μs delivering increased network throughput
- – Uses programmable chips that improve flexibility and aid in network expansion by defining forwarding logic and developing new features as per user needs through simple software upgrades
- – HPE Networking Comware 5960R is a router switch for border leaf or DCI connection with MACsec security connection.
- – HPE Networking Comware 5960R series switches support 400G 120km ZR+ transceiver, which is suitable for DCI connection scenarios, and can partially replace the transmission equipment through the ZR+ module, which is more convenient to manage.
Rich Quality of Service (QoS) Features
- – The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 support Layer 2 to Layer 4 packet filtering for traffic classification based on source MAC address, destination MAC address, source IP address, destination IP address, TCP/UDP port number, protocol type, and VLAN
- – Supports committed access rate (CAR) and line rate for anomaly detection and troubleshooting
- – Provides extensive traffic prioritization with strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), SP+WRR, WFQ, and SP+WFQ
Segment Routing
- – SRv6 is a future-oriented new-generation protocol. It naturally supports IPv6 and satisfies access to massive address spaces. SRv6 can identify applications and tenants, realize intelligent routing based on index such as delay and bandwidth, and ensure SLA. At the same time, SRv6 implements a unified protocol, which simplifies configuration.
- – SRv6 uses segments with a length of 128 bits to define network functions, and then by arranging the segments, a series of forwarding and processing behaviors of network devices can be implemented to complete service orchestration. Compared with MPLS SR protocol, it has stronger scalability and better compatibility with SDN controller, which is more conducive to deploying applications in DCI, MAN and other scenarios.
- –The notable feature of SRv6 is that the forwarding plane adopts IPV6. Based on the reachability of IPV6, it is easier to realize the interconnection of different networks. SRV6 is used for forwarding within a domain, and only ordinary IPV6 forwarding is required between domains. It does not need to be like MPLS which needs to convert MPLS to IP and do a lot of complicated configurations.
Improved Visibility and Simplified Management
- – The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 supports operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) for improved manageability
- – These switches can send real-time information, statistics, and RDMA notifications to the data center operation and maintenance platform through ERSPAN and gRPC protocols, thereby, enabling improved visibility
- – Supports real-time analysis, troubleshooting, and risk warning to improve network performance and ensure business continuity
- – Uses multiple access methods including SNMPv1/v2c/v3, Telnet, SSH 2.0, SSL, and FTP to monitor essential network functions; and supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group
- – Supports centralized configuration, compliance and policy management, monitoring, and troubleshooting with HPE IMC to provide a consistent network manageability experience; for DC fabric orchestration and application telemetry, this switch supports HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer
