HP JD374A Hewlett-Packard HP / HPE / Aruba enterprise networking and server portfolio Datacentre Switch

The HP JD374A is a 5500-24G-SFP EI switch. The 5500 EI series came from HP’s A-series Comware line and sits well above the 2500 and 2900 families: layer 3 routing, IRF stacking and modular expansion. This model is the fibre variant, presenting 24 Gigabit SFP ports rather than copper, with two interface slots for uplink or stacking modules. It is aggregation hardware rather than desktop access.

HP’s networking range, later rebadged Aruba, covered fixed configuration managed switches from small office access up to stacked campus wiring closets. The 2530, 2620 and 2920 families sit in that access tier, offering Gigabit copper, optional Power over Ethernet and SFP or SFP+ uplinks, with a lifetime warranty policy that put a great many of them into service. They are common, well documented and straightforward to replace like for like.
