HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5940-c05158726
HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5940-c05158726
Overview
The FlexFabric 5940 Switch Series is ideally suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise data
centers, or at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises.
With the increase pace of deploying virtualized applications, adopting software-defined networking, and the server-to-server traffic,
many data centers now require spine and ToR switch innovations that will meet their requirements. The HPE FlexFabric 5940 is
optimized to meet the increasing requirements for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage
traffic, the capability to handle virtual environments, and low-latency.

Standard Features
Manageability
• Full-featured console
Provides complete control of the switch with a familiar CLI
• Troubleshooting
− Ingress and egress port monitoring: Enable network problem solving
− Traceroute and ping: Enable testing of network connectivity
• Multiple configuration files
Allow multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image
• SNMP v1, v2c and v3
Facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices
• Out-of-band interface
Isolates management traffic from user data plane traffic for complete isolation and total reachability, no matter what
happens in the data plane
• Remote configuration and management
Delivered through a secure command-line interface (CLI) over Telnet and SSH; role-cased access control (RBAC) provides
multiple levels of access; configuration rollback and multiple configurations on the flash provide ease of operation; remote
visibility is provided with sFlow and SNMP v1/v2/v3, and is fully supported in HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC)
• ISSU and hot patching
In Services Software Upgrade (ISSU) provides hitless software upgrades and hitless patching of the modular operating
system
• Autoconfiguration
Provides automatic configuration via DHCP autoconfiguration
• NTP, SNTP
Synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; support for network time protocol (NTP), secure
network time protocol (SNTP)
Resiliency and high availability
• IRF technology
Enables an Hewlett Packard Enterprise FlexFabric to deliver resilient, scalable, and secured data center networks for
physical and virtualized environments; groups up to nine HPE 5940 switches in an IRF configuration, allowing them to be
configured and managed as a single switch with a single IP address; simplifies ToR deployment and management, reducing
data center deployment and operating expenses
• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Convergence Spanning Tree Protocol
Increases network uptime through faster recovery from failed links
• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree
Provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
Allows groups of two routers to back each other up dynamically to create highly available routed environments
• Hitless patch upgrades
Allows patches and new service features to be installed without restarting the equipment, increasing network uptime and
facilitating maintenance
• Ultrafast protocol convergence (< 50 ms) with standard-based failure detection—Bidirectional Forwarding
Detection (BFD)
Enables link connectivity monitoring and reduces network convergence time for RIP, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, VRRP, MPLS, and IRF
• Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP)
Monitors link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected, preventing loops in STP-
based networks
• Graceful restart
Allows routers to indicate to others their capability to maintain a routing table during a temporary shutdown and
significantly reduces convergence times upon recovery; supports OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS
Additional information
• Green IT and power
Improves energy efficiency through the use of the latest advances in silicon development; shuts off unused ports and
utilizes variable-speed fans, reducing energy costs

Standard Features
Layer 3 routing
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and VRRP Extended
Allow quick failover of router ports
• Policy-based routing
Makes routing decisions based on policies set by the network administrator
• Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP)
Enables multiple equal-cost links in a routing environment to increase link redundancy and scale bandwidth
• Layer 3 IPv4 routing
Provides routing of IPv4 at media speed; supports static routes, RIP and RIPv2, OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS
• Open shortest path first (OSPF)
Delivers faster convergence; uses this link-state routing Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), which supports ECMP, NSSA, and
MD5 authentication for increased security and graceful restart for faster failure recovery
• Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4)
Delivers an implementation of the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) utilizing path vectors; uses TCP for enhanced reliability
for the route discovery process; reduces bandwidth consumption by advertising only incremental updates; supports
extensive policies for increased flexibility; scales to very large networks
• Intermediate system to intermediate system (IS-IS)
Uses a path vector Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), which is defined by the ISO organization for IS-IS routing and extended
by IETF RFC 1195 to operate in both TCP/IP and the OSI reference model (Integrated IS-IS)
• Static IPv6 routing
Provides simple manually configured IPv6 routing
• Dual IP stack
Maintains separate stacks for IPv4 and IPv6 to ease the transition from an IPv4-only network to an IPv6-only network
design
• Routing Information Protocol next generation (RIPng)
Extends RIPv2 to support IPv6 addressing
• OSPFv3
Provides OSPF support for IPv6
• BGP+
Extends BGP-4 to support Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP), including support for IPv6 addressing
• IS-IS for IPv6
Extends IS-IS to support IPv6 addressing
• IPv6 tunneling
Allows IPv6 packets to traverse IPv4-only networks by encapsulating the IPv6 packet into a standard IPv4 packet; supports
manually configured, 6to4, and Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) tunnels; is an important element
for the transition from IPv4 to IPv6
• Policy routing
Allows custom filters for increased performance and security; supports ACLs, IP prefix, AS paths, community lists, and
aggregate policies
• Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
Enables link connectivity monitoring and reduces network convergence time for RIP, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, VRRP, MPLS, and IRF
• Multicast Routing PIM Dense and Sparse modes
Provides robust support of multicast protocols
• Layer 3 IPv6 routing
Provides routing of IPv6 at media speed; supports static routing, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+ for IPv6, and IS-ISv6
Layer 2 switching
• MAC-based VLAN
Provides granular control and security; uses RADIUS to map a MAC address/user to specific VLANs
• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Supports static, dynamic, and reverse ARP and ARP proxy
• IEEE 802.3x Flow Control
Provides intelligent congestion management via PAUSE frames

Configuration Rules
1 Fan Trays cannot be mixed in the same switch enclosure
2 This fan tray is only supported on JH390A, JH391A.
6 This power supply is only compatible with the following Switches:
HPE FlexFabric 5940 48SFP+ 6QSFP28 Switch JH390A
NOTE: If there is any empty space below the switch in a rack when using Back to Front Fan Trays, JG553A,
JH185A and JC682A, the rack will receive an Air Plenum kit that takes up 1U of additional space in
the rack. The Air Plenum kit is not required on fully configured racks. This only applies for CTO Rack
Level Integration. The Air Plenum Kit is a non-saleable SKU, and is brought in automatically for CTO
Factory Rack Level Integration.
