Abstract

The Huawei S12700 series Agile Switch is a fully programmable core switch based on Huawei’s high-end core router platform technology. The Main Processing Units (MPUs), in a back-to-back hardware-based cluster, support 1+N redundancy. With the Ethernet Network Processor (ENP), the S12700 provides high capacity, large buffer, programmability at the forwarding layer, integrated T-bit Access Controller (AC) capability, unified user management, and multiple user-defined functions. The S12700 can also implement wired and wireless convergence and vertical virtualization.

Tolly engineers verified Huawei’s S12700 series Agile Switches in multiple areas including the native wireless AC capability, Super Virtual Fabric (SVF), iPCA real-time network quality monitoring, unified user management, QoS, high availability, easy-operation, Zero Touch Deployment, programmable capability, SDN with full OpenFlow 1.3 compliance, switch fabric module N+1 redundancy, performance, capacity, data center features including FCoE, Virtual System (VS), TRILL and VXLAN, as well as the High-speed Self Recovery (HSR) solution.
