Power Supply

The HPE FlexFabric 5800AF-48G Managed Network Switch features an internal power supply, providing reliable and efficient power delivery to the switch and connected devices. This power supply configuration offers several benefits for users.

Reliability and Redundancy

Having an internal power supply ensures that the HPE FlexFabric 5800AF-48G switch receives a stable and consistent power source. This reliability is crucial for maintaining uninterrupted network connectivity and preventing downtime. Additionally, an internal power supply eliminates the need for external power adapters or multiple power cords, reducing clutter and potential points of failure.

Energy Efficiency

The internal power supply of the HPE FlexFabric 5800AF-48G is designed to be energy-efficient. It incorporates advanced power management features that optimize power usage based on the network's demands. This efficiency not only reduces operating costs but also contributes to a more environmentally friendly network infrastructure.

Simplified Installation and Maintenance

With an internal power supply, installation and maintenance of the HPE FlexFabric 5800AF-48G switch are simplified. There is no need to worry about locating an available power outlet or dealing with external power supplies. The internal power supply is seamlessly integrated into the switch's design, making it easier to install and maintain the device.

Layer Supported

The HPE FlexFabric 5800AF-48G Managed Network Switch supports Layer 3 functionality, which is essential for advanced networking capabilities. Layer 3 refers to the network layer in the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model and enables routing and forwarding of IP packets.

Enhanced Network Performance

By supporting Layer 3, the HPE FlexFabric 5800AF-48G switch can efficiently route IP traffic between different subnets or VLANs within a network. This capability enhances network performance by optimizing traffic flow and reducing congestion. Layer 3 switches can make intelligent routing decisions based on factors such as network load and availability, resulting in faster and more reliable data transmission.

Improved Network Security

Layer 3 switches offer enhanced network security features compared to lower-layer switches. They can apply access control lists (ACLs) at the network layer to filter and control traffic based on specific criteria, such as source/destination IP addresses or protocol types. This granular control helps prevent unauthorized access and protects the network from potential threats.

Scalability and Flexibility

The Layer 3 functionality of the HPE FlexFabric 5800AF-48G switch allows for greater scalability and flexibility in network design. It enables the creation of multiple subnets or VLANs, which can be segmented to isolate different departments, projects, or security zones. This segmentation simplifies network management and provides better control over network resources.

Stackable

The HPE FlexFabric 5800AF-48G Managed Network Switch supports stacking, allowing multiple switches to be interconnected and function as a single logical unit. This feature offers significant benefits for organizations that require high availability, scalability, and simplified management of their network infrastructure.

High Availability

By stacking multiple switches, organizations can create a resilient network architecture with built-in redundancy. If one switch in the stack fails, the traffic can automatically reroute through the remaining switches, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity. Stacking provides a reliable and fault-tolerant solution for mission-critical applications and services.

Simplified Management

Stacking simplifies network management by treating multiple switches as a single entity. Administrators can configure and manage the entire stack from a single management interface, reducing complexity and saving time. This centralized management approach streamlines tasks such as firmware upgrades, VLAN configuration, and monitoring of network activity.

Scalability and Flexibility

Stacking allows organizations to easily expand their network infrastructure as their needs grow. By adding additional switches to the stack, businesses can increase the number of ports, improve performance, and accommodate new devices without disrupting existing operations. Stacking provides a scalable solution that can adapt to evolving business requirements.

PoE Support

The HPE FlexFabric 5800AF-48G Managed Network Switch offers PoE (Power over Ethernet) support, which enables the switch to provide power to connected devices through the Ethernet cables. This feature is particularly useful for devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras.

Simplified Deployment

With PoE support, organizations can deploy network devices without the need for separate power cables or outlets. This simplifies the installation process and reduces the cost and complexity of deploying devices in areas where power outlets are limited or inaccessible. PoE eliminates the need for additional power adapters and cables, resulting in a cleaner and more organized network infrastructure.

Flexibility and Mobility

PoE support allows for greater flexibility and mobility of network devices. With power delivered over Ethernet cables, devices can be easily relocated or repositioned without the constraints of power availability. This flexibility enables businesses to quickly adapt to changing workspace requirements or reconfigure their network layout without the need for extensive rewiring.

Cost Efficiency

PoE support can lead to cost savings by eliminating the need for separate power supplies and reducing energy consumption. By providing power over Ethernet cables, businesses can optimize their power usage and reduce electricity costs. Additionally, PoE eliminates the need for expensive electrical work during network expansions or reconfigurations, further reducing overall deployment costs.
