The unit measures 444.5 × 450.9 × 175.3 mm and provides six open module slots, supporting configurations up to 48 10GbE ports or up to 144 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports depending on installed modules. It serves as a compact rack-mountable platform for scalable layer 2/3 switching and aggregation in data centers, wiring closets, and campus networks.

## Long description

HPE 5406R zl2 is a modular enterprise network chassis designed for compact rack deployment where scalable Layer 2/3 switching and aggregation are required. The chassis measures 444.5 × 450.9 × 175.3 mm and provides six open module slots that accept a variety of line cards to support configurations such as up to 48 10GbE ports or up to 144 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports depending on installed modules. The unit is intended as a resilient, high-capacity platform for wiring closets, campus aggregation points, small data center racks and branch cores with licensing-free software and SDN-ready OpenFlow support.
Advantages
The design of the HP 5406R zl2 emphasizes modularity, high throughput and high availability. A 2 Tbps crossbar switching fabric and advanced ASIC-based forwarding deliver wire-speed switching and high packet-per-second performance while hot-swappable modules and optional redundant power/management components enable continuous operation during maintenance. License-free advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, IPv6 support, and OpenFlow readiness simplify deployment and future-proof the network without additional software licensing.
Suitable for
Enterprise edge and distribution switches in campus networks
Wiring closets and telecom rooms requiring modular growth
Branch office core and SMB deployments needing high availability
Aggregation of 1GbE and 10GbE links for servers and uplinks
Environments requiring PoE+ support when populated with appropriate modules
Key specifications
Chassis dimensions: 444.5 × 450.9 × 175.3 mm
Module slots: 6 open module bays (modular line-card architecture)
Switching fabric capacity: up to 2 Tbps crossbar
Throughput: up to 785.7 million packets per second (platform-dependent)
Port density (dependent on installed modules): up to 48 × 10GbE or up to 144 × 10/100/1000 autosensing ports
Layer support: advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features including IPv4/IPv6, OSPF, BGP and policy-based routing
High availability: support for hitless failover, redundant management and redundant/ hot-swappable modules
SDN readiness: OpenFlow 1.3 support
Security features: 802.1X, MAC/Web authentication, DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, ARP protection, ACLs
Management and monitoring: support for centralized management via HP Intelligent Management Center, RMON, sFlow
How to use
Install the HP 5406R zl2 chassis in a standard rack space and secure it according to rack-mount instructions. Populate the six module slots with compatible HP line cards that match the required mix of 10GbE, 1GbE or PoE+ ports. Connect redundant management and power modules if continuous availability is required. Configure network features using the device CLI or HP Intelligent Management Center; load network policies, routing protocols (OSPF, BGP) and security settings as needed. For SDN deployments enable OpenFlow where applicable and integrate with your controller. Follow vendor guidelines for firmware updates and module hot-swap procedures to avoid service interruption.
Usage recommendations
Choose line cards and power modules based on expected port density and PoE budget; equip redundant management and power modules in production environments to ensure nonstop switching. Use centralized management (HP IMC) for configuration consistency and monitoring. Keep firmware current and follow hot-swap procedures to maintain availability.
