Features

Power and Innovation For Your Digital Workplace

The Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series is an industry-leading mobile campus access solution with HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports for high-speed connectivity for next wave 802.11ac devices. It brings enterprise-class resiliency and true flexibility, security and scalability to mobile campus networks.

Based on the 6th generation ProVision ASIC, the Aruba 5400R has a high-speed, high-capacity architecture with 2 Tbps crossbar switching fabric with low 2.1µ latency, unprecedented programmability, and leading edge SDN applications.

Flexible connectivity options with 6- or 12- slot compact chassis, support for line rate of 40GbE, up to 96 line rate 10GbE ports (SFP+ and 10GBASE-T), 1GbE and up to 288 ports of PoE+ with internal power supplies.

Delivers consistent wired/wireless user experience with unified management tools such as ClearPass Policy Manager and Airwave Network Management.   Provides optimal configuration automatically when connected to Aruba access points for PoE priority, VLAN configuration, and rogue AP containment.

License free software with advanced Layer 2 and 3 feature set including IPv6, IPv4 BGP, policy based routing, OSPF, and robust QoS.

Resiliency and High Availability at the Edge

The Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series using the sixth generation ProVision ASIC delivers wire-speed classification and policy enforcement. This hardware-based control of access and traffic allows protection, detection and response to network threats with no network performance degradation.

Nonstop switching and routing for improved support of applications such as unified communications and enhanced L3 high availability.

Redundant management and power systems enhance system availability and continuity of operations.

Hot-swappable modules and optional redundant power supply provides uninterrupted power and allows swapping of modules with no impact on the network availability.

Robust Security and Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS)

The Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series includes a robust set of security and quality of services features to build a network that meets ever-changing corporate policies and compliances.

Flexible authentication options include 802.1X, MAC and Web delivering greater policy-driven application security. Industry standard MACsec provides link-level encryption security between two points using copper or fiber links (available on select modules only).

Advanced distributed denial of service (DDOS) protection, such as DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and ARP Protection, and flexible traffic controls, such as policy-based routing, QoS, and ACLs, manage end-to-end application priorities.

Powerful multilevel-access security controls, such as varying security management login, RADIUS/TACACS+, and SSH for safe control change management access.

Defend the edge of your IPv6 network with DHCPv6 Protection and Dynamic IPv6 Lockdown.

Simplify with Integrated Wired/Wireless Management

The Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series supports Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager for unified and consistent policy between wired and wireless users and simplifies implementation and management of guest login, user onboarding, network access, security, QoS, and other network policies.

Supports Aruba Airwave to provide common platform for Zero-Touch Provisioning management, and monitoring for wired and wireless network devices.

RMON, XRMON and sFlow provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events.
