Does HPE 1950 support VRF Routing (VPN Instance)

[Barrinton]

Hi Team,

Please let me know if VRF routing is supported on HPE 1950. (HPE 1950-24G-2XGT-2SFP+ Switch Support)

Also let me know, how to find if a particular feature is supported on a Device or not.

HPE OfficeConnect 1950 Switch Series QuickSpecs is a very good starting point for what you're looking for.

HPE QuickSpecs portal is here.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but these douments do not mention support for VRF routing/ VPN Instance.

HPE OfficeConnect 1950 Switch Series QuickSpecs, exactly as its Datasheet, doesn't mention about VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) so VRF is simply not implemented on that type of Switch series.

It's highly probable that VRF (VPN Instance on HPE jargon) is a feature implemented starting on higher end models (like 5500 EI, 5500 HI, 5800, 5900, 5920, 5930, 10500 and so on...just to name a few).

Switch portal is here.

Switch series selector is here.

A Supported Features Matrix is only published and updated - AFAIK - for ArubaOS-Switch based switch series (here), it's not available for Comware based series...so if you're looking for the VRF feature (VPN Instance) on Comware based Switch series you should look for it browsing each relevant Switch QuickSpecs/Datasheet or you should look for it by browsing an updated Technical Product Portfolio that, probably, summarizes supported features for Comware series.
