HPEJG541-61001

(5500-24G-PoE+-4SFP HI) Managed switchLayer 3 Switch - 24×1 GbE PoE+

The HPEJG541-61001 (5500-24G-PoE+-4SFP HI) is a high-performance rack-mountable gigabit Layer-3 Managed switch featuring 24 auto-sensing 1 GbE PoE+ ports plus 4 fixed SFP ports and 2 SFP+ ports. It supports up to 740 W PoE+ power when populated with dual high-capacity PSU modules, ideal for powering wireless access points, IP cameras, phones, and IoT devices without external injectors. Designed for enterprise campus edge, branch, or SMB core networks, it provides a robust routing feature set×including OSPF, BGP, RIP, static routing, VRRP, multicast, and MPLS×with full IRF stackable support for high availability and simplified management. With a switching capacity of 176 Gbps and forwarding rate around 130.9 Mpps, this switch delivers enterprise-grade performance and operational resilience.

Features

Built on HPEFlexNetwork 5500 HI platform, the JG541A delivers industry-leading resiliency and multi-service support suitable for medium-to-large campus and SMB networks. It features 24 PoE+ RJ-45 ports (802.3at) supporting Auto-MDI/MDIX, 4 fixed 1 Gb SFP fiber ports, and 2 SFP+ 10-GbE uplinks. Two modular expansion slots support optional interface modules to scale connectivity.Powered by a 625 MHz tri-core ARM1176 processor, 1 GB SDRAM, 512 MB flash, and 3 MB packet buffer, the switch reliably supports full-line-rate forwarding with low delay (< 5 µs at 1 Gb, < 3 µs for 10 Gb). Performance specifications include a 176 Gbps backplane, 130.9 Mpps throughput, 32,000 MAC addresses, IPv4 route table capacity of 12,000, and IPv6 entries of 6,000.Software delivers comprehensive Layer 2/3 capabilities: VLANs, stacking via IRF, advanced routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, ISIS, RIP/RIPng, VRRP), ACLs, QoS, EVPN, MPLS, multicast (PIM-SM/DM, MLD), and security controls (802.1X, RADIUS, TACACS+, storm protection, URPF). Management interfaces include CLI, web GUI, REST API, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, RMON, and dual firmware images for high reliability.

Advanced Options

Engineered for enterprise reliability, this switch supports dual hot-swappable power supplies and IRF stacking for resiliency and seamless failover. The high-capacity PoE features enable dense deployment of powered endpoints with consistent delivery across all 24 ports. PTZ cameras, dual-radio APs, and phones are supported without extra injectors, and budget allocation across VLANs is centrally manageable.

Reliability & Performance

Deep Layer 3 routing and multicast support enable integration into campus or metro networks, while routing table sizes and MAC table capacity support large deployments. Latency below 3 µs ensures consistent performance under heavy loads. Security frameworks meet enterprise expectations×802.1X, RADIUS/TACACS+, packet storm mitigation, EAD, URPF, and firmware redundancy reduce downtime risk. Dual module slots allow interface expansion when needed. Environmental support includes operating range 0°C-45°C, low acoustic noise (41-64 dB depending fan profile), and support for IRF for simplified management of multiple units as a single logical switch.
