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 an unprecedented back-to- back hardware-based cluster, can work in 1+N backup mode. With the Ethernet Network Processor (ENP), the S12700 provides high specifications, a large number of entries and a large buffer, supporting programmability at the forwarding layer, integrating T- bit Access Controller (AC) and Unified User Management, and providing multifunction and 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, programmable capability, SDN with full OpenFlow 1.3 compliance,
switch fabric module N+1 redundancy, performance and capacity.
