Abstract

The S5710HI series switches are advanced gigabit Ethernet switches developed by Huawei, providing flexible gigabit access and 10G/ 40G uplink ports. Based on next-generation high-performance hardware and Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), the S5710HI switches provide flexible Ethernet features, comprehensive VPN tunneling technologies, diversified security mechanisms and are easy to manage and maintain. All of these features make the S5710HI an ideal choice as access switches on large- and medium- size campus networks or data centers and aggregation switches on small campus networks.

Tolly engineers evaluated Huawei’s S5710HI series switches in multiple areas including the high-density port hardware, performance, Layer 2 features, high availability, multicast, security, power saving features, MPLS, management protocols and Easy Operation features.
