Aruba Comware 5150EI - Managed Layer 3 Switch

The Aruba Comware 5150EI is a rack-mountable, managed Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise campus access. It provides high-density connectivity via 24 SFP fiber slots, 8 Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet ports, and 8 combo SFP ports. With a total switching capacity of 128 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 95.2 Mpps, the switch handles high-bandwidth traffic. Its Layer 3 routing capabilities enable it to direct packets across corporate subnets.

Designed for standard 19-inch racks, the unit measures 440 mm in width and 44 mm in height. Administrators can manage the system via a built-in web interface or standard protocols, including SNMP, CLI, and HTTPS. Up to nine units can be stacked to scale capacity. Traffic management relies on VLANs, while access control lists and MAC address filtering handle network security. A single internal fan regulates temperatures during operation.

• Supports up to 4,094 active VLANs for isolating multi-tenant or departmental traffic.
• 10G support on designated uplink interfaces for high-speed connections to core infrastructure.
• Jumbo frame support up to 9,000 bytes for efficient large file transfers.
• Includes 2,048 MB of internal memory and a 1,200 MHz dual-core processor to handle routing tables.
• Multicast traffic management with IGMP snooping to optimise bandwidth usage across the network.
