Description

HPE FlexNetwork 5140 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ EI Switch

The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ EI Switch is engineered for modern enterprise networks that demand high performance, flexible connectivity, and reliable power management. This 48-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch blends intelligent Layer 3 routing with secure, scalable features to support growing office campuses, branch locations, and data centers at the edge. With four fixed 10GbE SFP+ uplinks, IPv6 readiness, robust ACLs, and energy-efficient design, it delivers the efficiency and versatility required for today’s converged networks while reducing operational complexity and total cost of ownership.

  • PoE+ enabled 48-port access layer switch The HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch provides PoE+ on all 48 Gigabit ports, enabling seamless deployment of IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other PoE-powered devices without the need for separate power drops. This reduces cabling, simplifies installation, and supports scalable capacity for growing edge networks. The per-port power management features help you allocate power where it’s needed most, while monitoring consumption to optimize energy use across the floor.
  • Layer 3 routing with flexible traffic control This switch goes beyond basic switching by offering Layer 3 routing capabilities, including static routing, OSPF, and RIP. These routing options simplify network design and improve traffic efficiency in mid-size campuses, branch offices, and data centers. Pairing routing with QoS ensures critical applications—such as voice, video, and real-time data—receive priority handling, even during peak loads, delivering consistent performance and a better end-user experience.
  • Fixed 10GbE uplinks for fast, reliable core connections The 5140 EI features four fixed 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports, providing ample bandwidth to connect to your core network, distribution layer, or data center. This fixed uplink design minimizes the need for additional modules, reduces cabling complexity, and supports high-availability configurations. Whether you’re aggregating access switches or linking to a campus core, these uplinks help prevent bottlenecks and sustain high throughput across the network.
  • IPv6 readiness, ACLs, and comprehensive security With full IPv6 support, advanced ACLs, and secure management options, the 5140 EI helps future-proof your network while maintaining rigorous security controls at the edge. Role-based access, secure management interfaces, and consistent policy enforcement protect critical resources, ensuring trusted access for legitimate devices and users while reducing vulnerability windows across growing IPv6 deployments.
  • Energy efficiency and enterprise-grade reliability Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) minimizes power consumption during low-activity periods, contributing to lower operating costs and a greener network footprint. The switch is designed for reliable 24/7 operation in office, campus, or data-center edge environments, with robust cooling, durable hardware, and streamlined management that keeps maintenance overhead to a minimum while maintaining performance integrity under load.

how to install HPE FlexNetwork 5140 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ EI Switch

Install the HPE FlexNetwork 5140 EI Switch quickly by following these practical steps. This guide emphasizes clean cabling, proper power distribution, and initial configuration to get your network up and running with confidence.

  • Prepare the rack and workspace Confirm there is adequate space in a standard 19-inch rack with proper ventilation. Ensure you have access to a suitable PoE power source if you plan to deploy PoE devices immediately.
  • Mount the switch securely Slide the unit into the rack and fasten it with mounting screws. Verify the chassis is level and stable to prevent vibrations that could affect port alignment and airflow.
  • Connect power and cooling Attach the power supply to a reliable power source and ensure the cooling fans operate properly. If your environment requires redundant power, install an optional redundant power supply module following manufacturer guidelines.
  • Cable uplinks and device connections Connect the four fixed 10GbE SFP+ uplinks to the core or distribution layer as planned. Run PoE-powered devices (phones, cameras, APs) to the 48 PoE+ ports, using structured cabling practices to minimize clutter and interference.
  • Initial management and basic configuration Access the switch via the default IP or console connection, log in using the provided credentials, and perform basic setup. Configure VLANs, IP routing (if applicable), and security policies. Enable PoE settings as needed and implement your preferred QoS rules to prioritize critical traffic.
  • Test, monitor, and document Validate connectivity across access ports and uplinks, test PoE power delivery to attached devices, and verify routing tables. Save the configuration, document the network design, and set up ongoing monitoring through SNMP or the switch’s management interface for proactive maintenance.
