HPE JG296A

FlexFabric 5920AF‑24XG 24‑Port 10 GbE SFP+ Managed Layer 2/3 Switch

The HPE JG296A (5920AF‑24XG) is a high-performance Layer 2/3 FlexFabric switch offering 24 fixed SFP+ ports capable of 1/10 Gb Ethernet, and dedicated RJ‑45 console and management ports. Built for data center top-of-rack or server aggregation layers, it features ultra-deep packet buffering, IRF clustering, and enterprise-grade QoS, VLAN, and routing capabilities. Ideal for virtualized environments, SAN overlay networks, or high-density server farms, this Ethernet Switch delivers scalable, low-latency connectivity with flexible fiber uplink options and industry-standard protocol support.

Features

Engineered for scalability and high throughput, this Ethernet Switch includes 2 GB SDRAM, 128 MB flash memory, and up to 3.6 GB ultra-deep packet buffer to handle burst traffic without packet loss . With a Ethernet Switch capacity of 480 Gbps and forwarding rate up to 367 Mpps, it's built to handle heavy workloads and ensure minimal latency (<1.7 µs at 64-byte frames) IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) support allows up to four Ethernet Switch to operate as a single logical Ethernet Switch for simplified management and improved resiliency. Built-in L3 routing support (static, RIP1, RIP2, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS) and IPv6 readiness make it appropriate for both current and future environments

Advanced Options

This FlexFabric Ethernet Switch is engineered to deliver reliable, consistent performance in enterprise and data center environments. Its high-capacity switching architecture supported by ultra-deep buffering reduces congestion and protects against packet loss during peak loads. The sub‑microsecond latency enhances real-time traffic flows—ideal for SAN, virtualization, or real-time analytics.
