Abstract

Huawei S6720-SI series switches are next-generation multi-gigabit 10GbE fixed switches. The S6720-SI series can provide up to 10Gbps high speed access for WLAN access points or data center servers while also capable of serving as campus network access and aggregation switches.

Tolly engineers evaluated S6720-SI series switches’ hardware (dual hot swappable power modules, multi-gigabit auto-negotiation ports, 200 meters PoE++, fast PoE, perpetual PoE, EEE power saving), performance and capacity, security features (CPU defend, attack source traceback, MAC-Forced Forwarding, DHCP snooping, IP source guard, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), Source Address Validation Improvements (SAVI), PPPoE+, MACsec, etc.), user access authentication (MAC, web portal, 802.1x), high availability features (ERPS, SEP and RRPP ring protection features as well as STP/RSTP/MSTP), secure boot, Open Programmability System (OPS), and multiple other features (VLAN Central Management Protocol (VCMP), policy VLAN, OSPF/RIP/RIPng routing protocols, sFlow traffic monitoring, and more).
