What is the Characteristics of Huawei S2700 Switch?

Easy Operation and Maintenance

Huawei S2700 supports Easy-Operation, which implements easy installation, configuration,
monitoring, and troubleshooting. This technology greatly reduces installation and
configuration costs and engineering costs, and improves upgrade efficiency. The S2700
provides the CLI and web platform, supports alarm management and visualized configuration,
and replacement of faulty devices.
The S2700 uses the ASIC chip and fanless design, which reduces mechanical faults and
protects the equipment against damages caused by condensed water and dusts.

Flexible Service Control
The S2700 supports various ACLs. ACL rules can be applied to VLANs to flexibly control
traffic on interfaces and schedule resources in VLANs.
The S2700 supports VLAN assignment based on interfaces, MAC addresses, protocols, and
IP subnets. It applies to networks where users move frequently and networks demanding high
security.
The S2700 supports GVRP, which dynamically distributes, registers, and propagates VLAN
attributes to reduce the manual configuration workloads of network administrators and ensure
correct VLAN configuration. In addition, Huawei S2700 supports SSHv2, HWTACACS, RMON,
interface-based traffic statistics, and NQA to help in network planning and upgrading.

Various Security Measures
The S2700 supports DHCP snooping, which generates user binding entries based on MAC
addresses, IP addresses, IP address leases, VLAN IDs, and interface numbers of users. The
DHCP snooping function protects networks against common attacks such as bogus IP packet
attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and bogus DHCP server attacks.
The S2700 can limit the number of MAC addresses learned on an interface to prevent packet
flooding that occurs when an attacker frequently changes source MAC addresses. The S2700
supports strict ARP learning. This feature prevents ARP spoofing attackers from exhausting
ARP entries so that users can connect to the Internet normally. It provides IP source check to
prevent DoS attacks caused by IP address spoofing.
The S2700 supports centralized MAC address authentication and 802.1x authentication. It
authenticates users based on static or dynamic user binding information such as the user
name, IP address, MAC address, VLAN ID, and interface number. VLANs and ACLs can be
applied to users dynamically.

Various Reliability Mechanisms
The S2700 supports iStack, which virtualizes multiple switches into one logical switch. iStack
improves the switching capacity and enhances reliability and scalability. The stacked switches
are managed using a single IP address, which greatly reduces system operation and
maintenance costs.
Besides STP, RSTP, and MSTP, the S2700 like S2700-28TP-EI also supports enhanced Ethernet reliability
technologies such as Smart Link and RRPP, which implement millisecond-level protection
switching and ensure network reliability.
The S2700 supports the Smart Ethernet Protection (SEP) protocol, which is a ring network
protocol applied to the link layer of an Ethernet network. SEP provides fast switchover within
several milliseconds without interrupting services. SEP features simplicity, high reliability,
high switchover performance, convenient maintenance, and flexible topology and enables
users to manage and plan networks conveniently.
The S2700 supports G.8032, also called Ethernet Ring Protection Switch (ERPS). ERPS is
based on traditional Ethernet MAC and bridging functions. It uses the mature Ethernet OAM
and Ring Automatic Protection Switching (Ring APS or R-APS) technologies to implement
fast protection switching on Ethernet. ERPS supports multiple services and provides flexible
networking, reducing the OPEX and CAPEX.

What are the Applications of Huawei S5700-LI Switch?

Huawei S5700-LI is a next-generation energy-saving gigabit Ethernet switch that provides flexible GE access ports and 10GE uplink ports. Building on next-generation, high-performance hardware and the Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), Huawei S5700-LI supports Advanced Hibernation Management (AHM), intelligent stack (iStack), flexible Ethernet networking, and diversified security control. It provides customers with a green, easyto- manage, easy-to-expand, and cost-effective gigabit to the desktop solution. In addition, Huawei customizes specialized models to meet customer requirements to suit special scenarios.

CSFP switches support downlink CSFP ports, and each downlink CSFP port provides 2 Gbit/s bandwidth bidirectionally. CSFP switches apply to scenarios where users increase continuously and demand higher bandwidth, and scenarios where deploying fibers is costly and difficult and construction timeframes are long.

The switches with front power sockets can be installed in the 300 mm deep cabinet.
The S5701-LI series with front power sockets can be installed in the 300 mm deep cabinet. They can be maintained through the front panel, saving space in small equipment rooms.

Huawei S5700-10P-LI-AC provides 1000M desktop access functions for a high performance network, such as voice VLAN, NAC and so on.

The S5700-LI-BAT uses an internal lithium battery as the backup power supply. When a mains power failure occurs, the lithium battery begins powering the switch. When the mains power supply recovers, the switch automatically charges the lithium battery. The use of internal batteries ensures high reliability at the access layer in the case of frequent mains power failures.

Application Scenarios of Huawei S6700

Application of the S6700 in a Data Center

Huawei S6700 is deployed at the access layer of an enterprise campus network, helping an enterprise build a virtualized, highly reliable, non-blocking, and green data center network.

Position of Huawei S6700 in a data center

on a data center network, NE routers function as the egress routers; Huawei S9700 function as core and aggregation switches to ensure network security and implement load balancing by using firewall and load balance service cards. S6700s function as access switches to provide 10 Gbit/s access. The S6700 uses iStack to ensure high reliability. When a switch is faulty, the other switch takes over services on the faulty switch. Eth-Trunk is used to achieve link-level reliability. Reliability protocols such as STP and VRRP are not required, configuration and maintenance are simplified, and

configuration errors are reduced.

Application of the S6700 on a Large-scale Enterprise Campus Network

Huawei S6700 is deployed at the aggregation layer of a large-scale enterprise campus network, helping you built a highly reliable, scalable, and manageable enterprise campus network.

Position of the S6700 on an enterprise campus network

On an enterprise network or campus network, the S6700s connect to access switches through

100M/1000M interfaces, provide high performance and large switching capacity, and connect

to core switches through 10GE optical interface card. The network provides 10 Gbit/s rate for the

backbone layer and 100 Mbit/s access rate for terminals, meeting requirements for high

bandwidth and multi-service.

The S6700 provides SEP and RRPP to implement millisecond-level protection switching.

S6700s form a stack system by using iStack technology to implement the distributed

forwarding structure and fast fault recovery. The stack system increases the number of user

interfaces and improves packet processing capability. The iStack-enabled S6700s can be

managed in a uniform manner to facilitate network management and maintenance.
