Description

The 7506X is a 6-slot modular chassis switch from the HPE Networking Comware 7500X series, formerly FlexNetwork 7500X. It suits enterprise LAN core, aggregation and edge layers, as well as campus and data-centre deployments that need high-density 1/10/40/100GbE with PoE delivered through line cards.

Ports come from the MPU and LPU line cards you install. The chassis has 6 I/O module slots and can scale to 24 x 100GbE, 144 x 40GbE, 288 x 10GbE or 288 x 1GbE ports, or a combination, depending on the line cards chosen. Series switching capacity reaches 9.6 Tbps, and the chassis is PoE-capable with PoE and PoE+ provided through the line cards and power supplies. It differs from the 10-slot 7510X and the 3-slot non-PoE 7503X.

The 13 RU chassis runs Comware with Layer 2 and Layer 3 support and IRF virtualisation, so a whole fabric is managed from a single IP address. It requires at least one MPU and at least one LPU line card, up to 6 LPUs, and includes the 7506X fan tray (R8N60A). Power supplies must be a single type per chassis, with JD219A as the default PoE-capable PSU.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

FAQs

Q: Does the 7506X need a separate software licence?
A: Comware software is included on the MPU. No separate licence for the chassis itself is required, though optional feature licences may apply, so check the 7500X QuickSpecs.

Q: What power supplies does this chassis use?
A: The default PSU for the 7506X is the PoE-capable JD219A, and supplies within one chassis cannot be mixed. Input is 120 V AC or 230 V AC, and the available PoE and PoE+ budget depends on the PSUs and line cards installed.

Q: What do I need to install to get ports working?
A: You need at least one MPU and at least one LPU line card, with up to 6 LPUs supported in the 7506X. The port types and speeds come from the line cards you choose.

Q: How does the 7506X differ from the 7510X and 7503X?
A: The 7506X has 6 slots and is PoE-capable. The 7510X (R8N47A) has 10 slots and PoE, while the 7503X (R8N49A) has 3 slots and is non-PoE.

Q: Can I manage multiple chassis as one system?
A: Yes. IRF virtualisation lets a single IP address manage the whole fabric, which simplifies operations.
