Switch Aruba 5406R ZL2

The Aruba 5406R zl2 switch offers enterprise-class resiliency and unparalleled flexibility for networks with extensive support for mobile access. They are an advanced Layer 3 modular switch that provides scalable HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit port aggregation for high-speed 802.11ac devices, dynamic segmentation, virtual switching technology (VSF) module stacking, seamless failover, 40GbE throughput, consistent quality of service, and security. And no software licensing is required. The 5406R switch is easy to deploy and operate with advanced network management and security features such as Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and Aruba AirWave, and the Aruba Central cloud solution.

High level of security and dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) management

• Aruba 5400R zl2 Series switches have a suite of robust security and QoS features that ensure network protection and compliance with evolving corporate policies and regulations.
• Flexible authentication options, including 802.1X, MAC and network authentication, enhance system security and provide policy-based application authentication. The industry standard MACsec provides link layer encryption between two points using copper or fiber connections (available on select models only).
• Enhanced protection against distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks, including DHCP packet tracing, IP source protection, ARP protocol protection, and flexible traffic management features-policy-based routing, quality of service control, and access control lists (ACLs)-are available for comprehensive application priority management.
• Effective multi-layered security features (e.g., variable account settings for security management, RADIUS/TACACS and SSH) provide robust security and access control for change management. DHCPv6 protection and dynamic IPv6 blocking features help protect IPv6 network boundaries.
• Tunnel node to forward network traffic to an Aruba controller with authentication and network policies implemented on the controller.

Simplify your infrastructure with built-in wired and wireless network management

• Aruba AirWave software support provides a single management platform for automated resource allocation and monitoring of wired and wireless network devices.
• The Aruba 5400R zl2 Series switches support Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager to ensure policy uniformity and consistency between wired and wireless users, as well as easy deployment and management of guest logins, custom user devices, network access, security, quality of service (QoS), and other network policies.
• RMON, XRMON and sFlow technologies provide advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms and events.
• Aruba Central's cloud-based management platform provides a simple, secure and cost-effective way to manage your switches.
• Supporting a cloud-based central solution and local AirWave software on the same hardware allows you to change management platforms without completely replacing the switch infrastructure.
