Abstract

Huawei S5720-EI series enhanced gigabit Ethernet switch is Huawei’s next-generation switch that provide flexible GbE access ports and 10GbE uplink ports. They can be deployed as aggregation/access switches in enterprise campus networks or as gigabit access switches in data center networks.

Tolly engineers verified that the Huawei S5720-EI switch supported OpenFlow 1.3 compliance, MPLS L2VPN/L3VPN/TE, 1:N VLAN mapping and 4,000 1:1 VLAN mapping, ERPS, IP FRR with less than 50ms failover time, Multicast ARP for Microsoft NLB, dynamic user access control, Layer 3 multicast, iStack with uplink ports or specific stacking modules, easy operation, sFlow, GRE tunnel for VPN, CPU defense, MAC table capacity - 64,000, ARP table capacity - 12,000, OSPF/BGP/ISIS routing table capacity - 20,000, OSPF/BGP/ISIS FIB capacity - 16,000, 127 VPN instances, VPN routing table capacity - 20,000, VPN FIB capacity - 16,000, VLAN interface capacity - 1,024, ACL rules capacity - 3,000 inbound and 512 outbound, and Committed Access Rate (CAR) counter capacity - 3,000 inbound and 512 outbound. Huawei S5720-EI switch also supported working as the Super Virtual Fabric (SVF) client, which supports wired and wireless networks convergence.
