Scalability and high availability
The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch Series delivers scalability and enhances reliability of the network with HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology. IRF stacking enables virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two or more switches perform as a single L2 switch and L3 router.
Comprehensive security control
The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch Series supports flexible authentication methods including 802.1X and MAC Authentication for greater security and policy-driven application authentication. Per-user access control lists (ACLs) provide identity-driven security and access control.
Simplified management
The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch Series can be seamlessly managed with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) to provide end-to-end network transparency with a consistent network experience through comprehensive configuration, compliance, and policy management.
Enhanced quality of service
The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch Series supports advanced classifier-based QoS which groups traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2 and 3 information, it applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or entire switch.
