HPE Networking Comware 5960 32 Port 400G QSFP-DD Data Center Switch
The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 is a high-performance, high-density top-of-rack (ToR) switch designed for enterprise data centers, cloud service providers, and telco environments. With multiple connectivity options including 400G and 100G QSFP28 ports, these switches offer exceptional performance and improved power savings. VXLAN/EVPN and DRNI improve scalability and resiliency, while modern software features enable a dynamic and highly available network. HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) support provides centralized configuration, compliance, policy management, monitoring, and troubleshooting. HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer are also supported for data center fabric orchestration and application telemetry.













- High-performance, high-density, and backward-compatible switch with varied 400/200/100G connectivity options.:
- OS Comware v9 offers enhanced software features such as Segment Routing MPLS, SR-V6, PTP/SyncE, egress ACL, egress rate limiting, and others for highly distributed environments.:
- Dual, redundant, hot-swappable power supplies maintain a dynamic and highly available network.:
- Supports HPE IMC for a consistent network manageability experience while integrating with HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer for data center fabric orchestration, monitoring, and application telemetry.:
- Consistent and Advanced Data Center Switches with Flexible Connectivity Options: The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 offers 25/40/100/200/400G connectivity with three SKUs a) High-density 32x400G QSFP-DD switch b) Highly flexible 24x100/200G + 4x400G QSFP-DD switch backward compatible with widely used 100G QSFP28 ports c) High-density 48x100G 6QSFP-DD switch | The switch series supports new-generation OS Comware v9 offering enhanced features such as SR-MPLS, SR-V6, and others for highly distributed environments built on a modular and open architecture; supports containerized deployment; can run third-party software applications. | It has VXLAN/EVPN for network virtualization and overlay solutions for improved flexibility. | The switch series supports DRNI that combines multiple physical switches into one virtual distributed-relay (DR) system for doubling aggregate bandwidth, fast forwarding, resiliency, and high availability. | The 5960R model supports PTP, SR, VXLAN, EVPN. DRNI, HPE IMC Orchestrator
- High-Performance Data Center Switching: The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 supports redundant, hot-swappable power modules and varied fan speeds to meet the actual demands, thereby enabling a dynamic and highly available network. | Delivers up to 12.8 Tbps switching capacity for demanding data center applications. | Low latency, under 1 μs delivering increased network throughput. | Uses programmable chips that improve flexibility and aid in network expansion by defining forwarding logic and developing new features as per user needs through simple software upgrades.
- Rich Quality of Service (QoS) features: The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 support Layer 2 to Layer 4 packet filtering for traffic classification based on source MAC address, destination MAC address, source IP address, destination IP address, TCP/UDP port number, protocol type, and VLAN. | The switch series Supports committed access rate (CAR) and line rate for anomaly detection and troubleshooting. | It provides extensive traffic prioritization with strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), SP+WRR, WFQ, and SP+WFQ.
- Improved Visibility and Simplified Management: The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5960 supports operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) for improved manageability. | The switch series increase network visibility by sending real-time information, statistics, and RDMA notifications to the data center operation and maintenance platform through ERSPAN and gRPC protocols. | It support real-time analysis, troubleshooting, and risk warning to improve network performance and provide business continuity. | The switch series uses multiple access methods including SNMPv1/v2c/v3, Telnet, SSH 2.0, SSL, and FTP to monitor essential network functions; and supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group. | It supports centralized configuration, compliance and policy management, monitoring, and troubleshooting with HPE IMC to provide a consistent network manageability experience; for data center fabric orchestration and application telemetry, this switch supports HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer.
