Huawei S5700-28C-SI Mainframe

The S5700-SI series gigabit enterprise switches (S5700-SI) are next-generation energy-saving switches developed by Huawei to meet the demand for high-bandwidth access and Ethernet multi-service aggregation. Based on cutting-edge hardware and Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP) software, the S5700-SI provides a large switching capacity and high-density GE ports to accommodate 10 Gbit/s upstream transmissions. The S5700-SI can be used in various enterprise network scenarios. For example, it can function as an access or aggregation switch on a campus network, a gigabit access switch in an Internet data center (IDC), or a desktop switch to provide 1000 Mbit/s access for terminals. The S5700-SI is easy to install and maintain, reducing workloads for network planning, construction, and maintenance. Featuring advanced reliability, security, and energy conservation technologies, the S5700-SI helps enterprise customers build next-generation IT networks.

Features:

• Stackable
• iStack is a technology that enables multiple devices supporting the stacking feature to function as a logical device. iStack has the following advantages:
• 1)Protecting investments during network capacity expansion
• 2)Simplifying configuration and management during capacity expansion: multiple physical switches form a logical switch
• 3)Improving system reliability by using the redundancy backup mechanism
• 4)Supporting link aggregation between member switches
• 5)Providing more ports and higher bandwidth
• Dual hot swappable power supplies
• The two power supplies works 1:1, backup power module will start to work when master fails. Dual power supplies design increases system reliability and service availability
• Flexible extended slots:
• The switch provide two extended slots, one for an uplink subcard and the
• other for for a stack card.
• Uplink subcards: 4 * GE, 2 * 10GE, 4 * 10GE.
• The extended slots provide flexible expansion for the switch
• Maintenance-free, easy deployment and effortless management
• The product supports automatic configuration and plug-and-play, which dramatically reduces maintenance costs.
• The product supports GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP), which dynamically distributes, registers, and propagates VLAN attributes to ensure correct VLAN configuration and reduce network administrator workloads
• Powerful surge protection capability
• The product uses a Huawei-patented surge protection technique to prevent lightning-induced overvoltage.
• All ports on the product have 6 kV of surge protection, making them eight times more lightning-proof than 4 kV switches. The Huawei patented surge protection technique greatly reduces the possibility of equipment being damaged by lightning, even in extreme situations or in scenarios where grounding is not feasible
