Enhanced QoS mechanism, improving the voice and video experience
- The S7700's H-QoS control mechanisms classify traffic based on information from the link layer to the application layer. With advanced queue scheduling and congestion control algorithms, Huawei S7700 performs accurate multi-level scheduling for data flows, satisfying enterprises' QoS requirements for a variety of services and user terminals.
- The S7700 supports hardware-based low delay queues for multicast packets so that the video service can be processed with high priority and low delay. This feature guarantees the high quality of key services in an enterprise, such as video conference and surveillance.
- The S7700 uses innovative priority scheduling algorithms to optimize the QoS queue scheduling mechanism for voice and video services. The improved scheduling mechanism shortens the delay of the VoIP service and eliminates the pixelation effect in the video service, improving user experience.
- Both the hardware platform and software platform of the S7700 support IPv6. The S7700 has earned the IPv6 Ready Phase 2 (Gold) designation.
- The S7700 supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, various tunneling technologies, IPv6 static routing, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP+, IS-ISv6, and IPv6 multicast. These features meet the demand for IPv6 networking and combined IPv4 and IPv6 networking.
Superb traffic analysis capability, resulting in real-time network performance monitoring
- The S7700 supports NetStream for the real-time collection and analysis of network traffic statistics.
- The S7700 supports the V5, V8, and V9 Netstream formats and provides aggregation traffic templates to reduce the burden on the network collector system. In addition, the S7700 supports real-time traffic collection, dynamic report generation, traffic attribute analysis, and traffic exception trap.
- NetStream monitors network traffic in real time and analyzes the device's throughput, providing data for network structure optimization and capacity expansion.
Comprehensive security mechanisms, protecting enterprises from internal and external security threats
- NGFW is a next-generation firewall card that can be installed on an S7700. In addition to the traditional defense functions such as firewall, identity authentication, and Anti-DDoS, the NGFW supports IPS, antispam, web security, and application control functions.
- The S7700 provides comprehensive NAC solutions for enterprise networks. It supports MAC address authentication, Portal authentication, 802.1x authentication, and DHCP snooping-triggered authentication. These authentication methods ensure the security of various access modes, such as dumb terminal access, mmobile access, and centralized IP address allocation.
- Additionally, the S7700 defends against DoS attacks, prevents unauthorized access, and prevents control plane overloading.
Innovative energy-saving chips, allowing for intelligent power consumption control
- The S7700 uses innovative energy-saving chips, which can dynamically adjust power on all ports based on traffic volume. An idle port enters a sleep mode to reduce power consumption.
- The S7700 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and uses different energy management modes according to the powered device (PD) type, ensuring flexible energy management.
- The S7700 supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and provides the low power idle mode for the PHY line card. If the link utilization is low, the S7700 switches to a lower speed or power PHY to reducepower consumption.
