Abstract

The S5720-LI series switches are next-generation energy-saving gigabit Ethernet switches developed by Huawei, providing flexible gigabit access and GbE/10GbE uplink ports. Based on next-generation high-performance hardware and the Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), the S5720-LI supports intelligent stack (iStack), flexible Ethernet networking, diversified security control, multiple Layer 3 routing protocols, higher performance and better service processing capability. It provides customers with a green, easy-to-manage, easy-to-expand, and cost-effective enterprise access gigabit to the desktop solution.

Tolly engineers evaluated Huawei’s S5720-LI series switches in multiple areas including the OpenFlow 1.3 compliance, NETCONF feature, forwarding capability, capacity, high performance stack, high availability, security, Zero Touch Provisioning, Super Virtual Fabric (SVF), and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) power saving.
