HPE 708068-001

ProCurve 6120G/XG Blade Managed Layer 3 Switch 

The HPE 708068‑001 (ProCurve 6120G/XG) is a fully managed Layer 3 Switch blade switch designed exclusively for HPE c-Class BladeSystem enclosures. With 16 integrated 1 Gbps downlink ports and a flexible uplink architecture featuring four 1 Gb RJ‑45, two SFP, two XFP, and one 10 Gb CX4 port, it supports a mix of copper and fiber connections. Ideal for transitioning environments needing both Gigabit and 10 Gb interfaces, this switch offers robust switching and routing capability directly within blade chassis for scalable, high-performance enterprise and data center deployments.

Features

This module plugs into the interconnect blade bay of HPE c-Class chassis and provides integrated server-facing 1 Gb downlink connections across multiple server blades. Uplink options include four 1 Gb copper ports (RJ‑45), two 1 Gb SFP fiber ports, two 10 Gb XFP fiber ports, and one specialized 10 Gb CX4 port for backward compatibility with legacy high-speed uplinks. The switch enables advanced Layer‑2 and Layer‑3 features such as VLANs, static routing, Quality of Service, link aggregation, and flow control. Enterprise-grade management protocols include SNMP (v1/v2c/v3), RMON, Telnet, SSH, HTTP‑HTTPS access, TACACS+ or RADIUS authentication, and SSL encryption for secure configuration and monitoring

Advanced Options

Engineered for enterprise and data‑center blade ecosystems, the 6120G/XG delivers wire‑speed switching and Layer‑3 routing within the blade chassis. With a MAC address table of up to 16K entries and support for QoS and traffic shaping, it handles intra-chassis and uplink traffic efficiently.
