HUAWEI S5700-SI Series 10/100/1000 and 10GE SFP+ Ports Access Switches

 

The S5700-SI series are gigabit Layer 3 Ethernet switches based on new generation of high-performance hardware and Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP). It provides a large switching capacity, high-density GE interfaces, and 10GE uplink interfaces. With extensive service features and IPv6 forwarding capabilities, the S5700-SI is applicable to various scenarios.

 

Powerful support for services

The S5700-SI supports IGMP v1/v2/v3 snooping, IGMP filter, IGMP fast leave, and IGMP proxy. The S5700-SI supports wire-speed replication of multicast packets between VLANs, multicast load balancing among member interfaces of a trunk, and controllable multicast, meeting requirements for IPTV and other multicast services.

 

Comprehensive reliability mechanisms

Besides STP, RSTP, and MSTP, the S5700-SI supports enhanced Ethernet reliability technologies such as Smart Link and RRPP (Rapid Ring Protection Protocol), which implement millisecond-level protection switchover and ensure network reliability. It also provides Smart Link multi-instance and RRPP multi-instance to implement load balancing among links, optimizing bandwidth usage.    

The S5700-SI supports the Smart Ethernet Protection (SEP) protocol, a ring network protocol applied to the link layer on an Ethernet network. SEP can be used on open ring networks and can be deployed on upper-layer aggregation devices to provide fast switchover, ensuring non-stop transmission of services. SEP features simplicity, high reliability, fast switchover, easy maintenance, and flexible topology, facilitating network planning and management.

 

 

Well-designed QoS policies and security mechanisms

The S5700-SI implements complex traffic classification based on packet information such as the 5-tuple, IP precedence, ToS, DSCP, IP protocol type, ICMP type, TCP/UDP port number, VLAN ID, Ethernet protocol type. ACLs can be applied to inbound or outbound direction on an interface. The S5700-SI supports a flow-based two-rate three-color CAR. Each port supports eight priority queues and multiple queue scheduling algorithms such as WRR, DRR, SP, WRR+SP, and DRR+SP. All of these ensure the quality of voice, video, and data services. The S5700-SI supports 802.1x authentication, MAC address authentication, and combined authentication on a per port basis, as well as Portal authentication on a per VLANIF interface basis.


Various IPv6 features

The S5700-SI supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and can migrate from an IPv4 network to an IPv6 network. S5700-SI hardware supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels (including manual tunnels, 6to4 tunnels, and ISATAP tunnels), and Layer 3 line-speed forwarding. The S5700 can be deployed on IPv4 networks, IPv6 networks, or networks that run both IPv4 and IPv6. This makes networking flexible and enables easy migration from IPv4 to IPv6.

On large-sized enterprise networks

The S5700-SI can function as an access device on a large-sized or medium-sized enterprise network or an aggregation device on a small-sized campus network. It supports link aggregation and dual-homing to improve network reliability.
