HP 5406R zl2 Switch

Efficiency and innovation for digital workspaces
The Aruba 5400R zl2 series switches are the best solution for campus mobile network access. HPE Smart Rate Multi-Gigabit ports provide fast connectivity to the latest 802.11ac devices. They deliver enterprise-class reliability as well as the highest flexibility, security, and scalability in mobile campus networks.
The Aruba 5400R switch is based on 6th generation ProVision ASICs and features a high-speed, high-capacity, low-latency (2.1µs) 2Tbps matrix switching architecture. It supports a built-in programmable and easy-to-use REST API that automates configuration processes for campus networks with broad mobile access support.
Compact 6- or 12-port chassis models provide extensive connectivity and support 40GbE uplink speeds, up to 96 10GbE (SFP+ and 10GBASE-T), 1GbE ports, and up to 288 PoE+ ports with internal power supplies.
Optimized for the digital workspace with unified management and security tools such as Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba Airwave, and Aruba Central. Automatically provides optimal configuration when connecting to Aruba PoE-priority access points, VLAN configuration, and Rogue AP Containment (blocking access points that pose a security risk).
The bundled software is license-free and includes an advanced layer 2 and layer 3 feature set, including IPv6, IPv4 BGP, policy-based routing, VRRP, OSPF, tunnel node, and consistent quality of service (QoS).

Fault tolerance and high availability at the edge
The Aruba 5400R zl2 series switches, equipped with 6th generation ProVision ASICs, provide high speed classification and policy enforcement. This hardware-based access and traffic control helps protect your network from threats and detect and respond to attacks early without compromising performance.
The device supports continuous switching and routing, and provides advanced application support, such as software for unified communications and high availability at the L3 layer.
Support for Virtual Router Reservation Protocol (VRRP), allowing groups of two routers to dynamically replicate each other, increasing the availability of router environments in IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Redundant control and power systems increase system resilience and ensure business continuity. Hot-swappable modules and optional redundant power supplies ensure uninterrupted operation and the ability to replace modules without compromising network availability.
The Virtual Switching Platform (VSF) virtualizes up to two physical switches into a single logical device, simplifying the network structure and increasing its flexibility. Rapid software updates minimize downtime during updates to the 5400R VSF stack.

High security and dynamic quality of service (QoS) management
The Aruba 5400R zl2 series switches are equipped with a set of robust security and QoS tools to help ensure your network is secure and compliant with changing corporate policies and regulations.
Flexible authentication options, including 802.1X, MAC, and Web authentication, enhance system security and provide policy-based application authentication. Industry-standard MACsec provides link-level encryption between two points using copper or fiber optic connections (available on select models only).
Advanced distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack protection including DHCP snooping, IP source protection, ARP protocol protection, and flexible traffic management features such as policy-based routing, quality of service, and access control lists (ACLs). ) are available to manage the priorities of end-to-end applications.
Powerful layered security systems (such as configurable security management account settings, RADIUS/TACACS+, and SSH) provide strong security and access control for change management. Security through DHCPv6 and dynamic blocking using IPv6 help secure the perimeter of an IPv6 network.
Tunnel node to pass network traffic to the Aruba controller with authentication and network policies enforced on the controller.

Simplify your infrastructure with built-in wired and wireless network management
The Aruba 5400R zl2 Series Switches support Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager to provide uniformity and policy consistency between wired and wireless users, and simply
