performance index
Packet forwarding rate: The packet forwarding rate varies among different models. For example, the packet forwarding rate of CloudEngine 5.735-L24ST4XE-A-V2 is 171Mpps, while the packet forwarding rate of CloudEngine 5.735-L48LPN4XE-A-V2 reaches 315Mpps.
Switching capacity: The switching capacity of this series of switches is mostly 672Gbps/6.72Tbps
Product characteristics
Flexible Ethernet networking
Spanning Tree Protocol Support: Supports traditional STP/RSTP/MSTP spanning tree protocols, as well as Huawei's independently innovated SEP intelligent Ethernet protection technology and the latest Ethernet ring network standard ERPS in the industry, enabling millisecond level fast protection switching for Ethernet ring networks.
SmartLink function: Supports SmartLink function, which connects to multiple aggregation switches through multiple links, achieving uplink backup and improving the reliability of access side devices.
Diverse security controls
Rich authentication methods: Supports multiple security authentication methods such as MAC address authentication and 802.1x authentication, enabling dynamic issuance of user policies (VLAN, QoS, ACL).
Strong anti attack capability: Supports comprehensive DoS and user based anti attack, which can prevent attacks on the switch itself such as SYN Flood, Land, Smurf, ICMP Flood, as well as user based attacks such as DHCP server impersonation and IP/MAC spoofing.
DHCP Snooping Function: Supports the establishment and maintenance of a DHCP Snooping binding table to directly discard illegal packets that do not match the binding table entries, ensuring the legitimacy of the DHCP server.
Strict learning of ARP table entries: Supports the strict learning function of ARP table entries to prevent ARP spoofing attacks from filling up the switch's ARP table entries and causing normal users to be unable to access the internet.
Simple operation and maintenance
Easy Operation Operation Solution: Supports Huawei's Easy Operation simple operation and maintenance solution, providing functions such as Zero Touch installation for newly connected devices, configuration free replacement for faulty devices, USB opening, batch configuration of devices, and batch remote upgrades, reducing operation and maintenance costs.
Multiple management methods: Supports various management and maintenance methods such as SNMP v1/v2 c/v3, CLI (command line), web network management, SSHv2.0, etc. It also supports RMON, multi log host, port traffic statistics, and network quality analysis, which facilitates network optimization and transformation.
Intelligent iStack Stacking
Logical virtualization: supports intelligent iStack stacking, combining multiple switches that support stacking features together to logically virtualize them as one switch.
Reliability Enhancement: The iStack stacking system improves device level reliability by providing redundant backups between multiple member devices; The link level reliability has been improved through cross device link aggregation functionality.
Powerful scalability: iStack provides powerful network scalability, allowing for easy expansion of the port count, bandwidth, and processing capabilities of stacked systems by adding member devices.
Simplified configuration management: After stacking is formed, multiple physical devices are virtually integrated into one device, and users can log in to the stacking system through any member device to uniformly configure and manage all member devices of the stacking system.
PoE power supply capability: Some PoE models support fast PoE, which can provide power to PD devices in seconds. When the switch is powered off and restarted, it can continue to supply power to PD devices as long as it is powered on; It also supports permanent PoE, and when the switch restarts, the power supply to the downstream PD devices will not be interrupted, achieving zero interruption of PoE power supply.
Network slicing function: Provides VLAN network slicing function, which can meet different SLA requirements of different businesses and customers. Based on QoS, business isolation and bandwidth guarantee are implemented, and slices can be completely isolated from each other without affecting each other. Traffic is isolated at the physical layer.
Intelligent Upgrade: Based on the Huawei Online Upgrade Platform (HOUP), it supports intelligent upgrades, obtaining version upgrade paths from HOUP and downloading new version upgrades. The upgrade process is highly automated, and it also supports preloading versions, greatly reducing upgrade time and minimizing business interruptions.
