About the HPE FlexFabric 5950 configuration guides The HPE FlexFabric 5950 configuration guides describe the software features for the HPE FlexFabric 5950 Switch Series, and guide you through the software configuration procedures. These configuration guides also provide configuration examples to help you apply the software features to different network scenarios. Configuration guide Fundamentals Configuration Guide IRF Configuration Guide Covers information about using the command line interface, logging in to and setting up the device, and using the basic management features. CLI (command line interface overview and how to use the CLI). RBAC. Logging in to the device (login methods such as telnet, and user interface configuration and access control). FTP and TFTP. File system management. Configuration file management. Software upgrade. ISSU. Emergency shell. Device management. Tcl. Python. Automatic configuration. Covers Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology, which provides data center class availability and scalability. IRF creates a large virtual device from multiple devices. The IRF member devices work in 1:N redundancy and appear as one unit in the network. IRF improves management efficiency and streamlines network topology. It is suitable for highly reliable enterprise networks and data centers.
Layer 2 LAN Switching Configuration Guide Layer 3 IP Services Configuration Guide Layer 3 IP Routing Configuration Guide Covers Layer 2 technologies and features used on a LAN switched network, such as VLAN technology and port isolation. You can use these features to divide broadcast domains, remove Layer 2 loops, isolate users within a VLAN, or re-mark VLAN tags. Ethernet interface. Loopback, null, and inloopback interfaces. Bulk interface configuration. MAC address table and MAC Information. Ethernet link aggregation. Port isolation. Spanning tree. Loopback detection. VLAN (including super VLAN). MVRP. QinQ. VLAN mapping. LLDP. Service loopback group. Cut-through Layer 2 forwarding. Covers IP addressing (including static and dynamic IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment), network performance optimization, ARP, and interoperation between IPv4 and IPv6. ARP (ARP, gratuitous ARP, proxy ARP, ARP snooping, and ARP fast reply). IP addressing. DHCP (DHCP overview, DHCP server, DHCP relay agent, DHCP client, DHCP snooping, BOOTP client). DNS and DDNS. IP forwarding basics and load sharing Fast forwarding. Adjacency table. IRDP. IP performance optimization. UDP Helper. IPv6 basics. DHCPv6 (DHCPv6 overview, DHCPv6 server, DHCPv6 relay agent, DHCPv6 snooping). IPv6 fast forwarding. Tunneling. GRE. Covers the routing technologies for IPv4 and IPv6 networks of different sizes, route filtering, route control, and policy based routing. Basic IP routing. Static routing. RIP. OSPF. IS-IS. BGP.
IP Multicast Configuration Guide MPLS Configuration Guide ACL and QoS Configuration Guide Policy-based routing. IPv6 static routing. RIPng. OSPFv3. IPv6 IS-IS. IPv6 policy-based routing. Routing policy. Covers Layer 2 IPv4 multicast protocols (including IGMP snooping, and multicast VLAN), Layer 3 IPv4 multicast protocols (including IGMP and PIM), Layer 2 IPv6 multicast protocols (including MLD snooping and IPv6 multicast VLAN), and Layer 3 IPv6 multicast protocols (including MLD, IPv6 PIM, and MSDP). Multicast overview. IGMP snooping. PIM snooping. Multicast VLAN. Multicast routing and forwarding. IGMP. PIM. MSDP. Multicast VPN. MLD snooping. IPv6 PIM snooping. IPv6 multicast VLAN. IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding. MLD. IPv6 PIM. Covers MPLS features. Basic MPLS. Static LSP. LDP. MPLS TE. Static CRLSP. RSVP. Tunnel policy. MPLS L3VPN and IPv6 MPLS L3VPN. MPLS OAM. MCE and IPv6 MCE. Covers information about classifying traffic with ACLs, and allocating network resources and managing congestions with QoS technologies to improve network performance and network use efficiency. You can use ACLs to help feature modules (such as QoS and IP routing) classify or filter traffic. ACL. QoS: QoS overview. QoS policy. Priority mapping.
