HP FlexFabric 5900v Virtual Switch Series
Models
HP FlexFabric Virtual Switch 5900v for VMware ESX 5.x E-LTU JG814AAE
Key features
Automated server virtualization and networking policy orchestration
Simplified network policy management through the HP IMC VAN Connection Manager console
VMware vCenter plug-in links network policy to applications, including vMotion
Enables advanced data center access switch features on traffic to and from each virtual machine
Scalable delivery of corporate network security and monitoring policies into virtual environments
Product overview
The HP FlexFabric 5900v Virtual Switch enables the network administrator to define and manage a database of application
network policies via the HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Virtual Application Network (VAN) Connection Manager console.
The system administrator links applications to these network policies via the VMware vCenter console, delivering an automated
application policy provisioning solution.
HP FlexFabric Virtual Switch Orchestration (VSO) Software manages the communication among IMC, vCenter, and the 5900v virtual
switch, providing a central control point for the physical and virtual network infrastructure.
The HP FlexFabric 5900v Virtual Switch replaces the VMware vSwitch, linking each virtual machine to the IEEE 802.1Qbg access
switch (including the HP FlexFabric 5900, 6125XLG, and 11900 switches), where network policies are enforced. This enables
robust VM traffic manageability, security enforcement, quality of service (QoS), and forwarding support in hardware. Server
virtualization events, such as vMotion machine migrations, help eliminate the need for manual configuration of the network
switching infrastructure.
Features and benefits
Management
IMC VAN Connection Manager
maintains virtual machine VLAN assignments and Virtual Station Interface (VSI)-type databases containing access control
list (ACL) and QoS templates to be provisioned by the access switch
VMware vCenter plug-in
configures the VSO Virtual Control Engine (VCE) and binds port groups to the virtual machine, enabling the 5900v Virtual
Switch to make the connection between the vNIC and the associated access switch VSI template
Data center optimized
IEEE 802.1Qbg Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB)
supports the Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) protocol, ensuring that all VM traffic is processed by the adjacent
physical switch
Virtual Control Engine (VCE)
provides the Virtual Switch Orchestration (VSO) function, based on an OpenFlow SDN engine, to deliver forwarding table
entries to the Virtual Forwarding Engine (VFE)
Virtual Forwarding Engine (VFE)
implements the Virtual Distributed Switch (VDS) data plane function, installed on each ESXi host via the vCenter plug-in
QuickSpecs
Overview
HP FlexFabric 5900v Virtual Switch Series
Layer 2 switching
VLAN support and tagging
supports IEEE 802.1Q with 4,094 simultaneous VLAN IDs
Private VLAN (PVLAN)
segregates traffic from multiple ports on the same VLAN, directing all traffic to a given uplink for enhanced security
