Software Defined Networking (SDN)
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an innovative network architecture that simplifies network management and eliminates maintenance complexity by separating the network management layer from the network data forwarding layer via Openflow. But more importantly, they provide flexible flow control mechanisms and provide a clear platform for core networking applications and innovative solutions.
The S5130S-EI series switches support a voluminous table of data flows on the network. Combined with H3C’s SDN Controller, they allow you to easily implement a two-tier network architecture and quickly add new features to existing networks to radically simplify network management while significantly reducing maintenance costs.
Intelligent technology IRF2 fault-tolerant architecture
H3C’s S5130S-EI series switches implement Intelligent Resilient Framework 2 (IRF2) technology. IRF2 provides the following benefits:
Excellent scalability: With IRF2, device aggregation can be plug-and-play by simply adding one or more switches to the stack IRF2 and enabling IRF2 stacking mode on the new device. New devices can be managed through a single shared IP address, allowing software updates to be carried out simultaneously on all devices to reduce network expansion costs.
High reliability: patented IRF2’s 1:N redundancy technology allows each of the slaves in the IRF2 stack to serve as a backup for the master, providing control plane redundancy and data link redundancy, as well as uninterrupted Layer 3 forwarding. This improves reliability and helps avoid interruptions at work and generally improve productivity. If the primary device fails, traffic does not stop.
Load balancing: IRF2 supports aggregation of connections across multiple devices. Connections to upstream and downstream systems can be made through multiple physical links, creating another layer of redundancy and increasing network resource utilization.
Availability: IRF2 technology implemented H3C via standard 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GE) or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) ports and provides bandwidth allocation for service traffic and application access, with intelligent separation of local traffic and traffic to higher-level systems. IRF2 rules can be applied not only at the scale of one rack or adjacent racks, but also at the scale of the entire local network.
Intelligent Management Center (SmartMC)
SmartMC is H3C’s latest, innovative solution that helps small and medium-sized businesses manage their network management challenges with a free, easy-to-use, web-based tool. SmartMC is an on-switch management tool found in management switches and other access network switches. SmartMC has the following advantages:
Intelligent Operation: After powering up the switch and activating the SmartMC function, the topology is automatically built, which is displayed to the user in a rich graphical web interface for check the current status.
Centralized management: All management operations can be performed through the management switch, including centralized configuration backup and software versioning for increased efficiency.< /p>
One-click device replacement: If one of the switches fails, a new replacement switch of the same type can be automatically loaded with the same configuration so that it can immediately began to work similarly to the previous one.
Comprehensive security features
In series switches H3C’s S5130S-EI implements an innovative single-port multiple authentication feature, meaning the authentication modes for access may differ for different clients. For example, some clients are only capable of MAC address authentication (such as printers), some user nodes use 802.1X authentication, and some user nodes can only authenticate access using a web portal. To flexibly adapt to different network authentication requirements, the S5130S-EI series switches support multiple authentication on a single port for a unified deployment.
The series switches The S5130S-EI supports SSH V2 (Secure Shell V2) technology to ensure information security, as well as strong authentication tools to protect the Ethernet switch from attacks such as IP address spoofing or interception of unencrypted information.
The main threats to network security are ARP attacks and ARP virus hijacking, so the S5130S-EI series switches provide various ARP security mechanisms, such as ARP discovery to verify client eligibility, ARP packet authentication , and configure ARP rate limiting to prevent ARP flood attacks targeting device processors.
H3C’s S5130S-EI series switches support EAD (End User Admission Domination) security checks: Together with the iMC (intelligent Management Center) management system, the EAD function allows you to combine end device security policies, such as antivirus and the latest updates, with network access control mechanisms and access rights control policies by verifying, isolating, updating, managing and monitoring endpoint access, EAD enables you to move from passive, targeted network security to active, end-to-end security, and from isolated to centralized management, which expands the network’s capabilities to counter viruses, worms and new threats.
High availability
In the S5130S-series switches EI provides various device-level and channel-level redundancy features, supporting overcurrent and surge protection, overheat protection, power supply and fan fault detection with alarm generation, and fan speed adjustment based on temperature changes. In addition, the S5130S-52F-EI switch features two hot-swappable AC/DC power supplies.
In addition to device-level redundancy, the switches The S5130S-EI series supports various link-level redundancy capabilities, such as LACP/STP/RSTP/MSTP/Smart Link protocols. Devices in this series support IRF2 technology and 1:N redundancy, as well as link aggregation across different devices, which significantly increases network reliability.
Extensive quality of service (QoS) management capabilities
S5130S-EI series switches support packet filtering at layers 2 to 4, as well as traffic classification based on source MAC address, destination MAC address, IP address source, destination IP address, TCP/UDP port numbers, protocol type and VLAN. They provide flexible port- and queue-based queuing algorithms, including Strict Priority (SP), Weighted Round Robin (WRR), and SP+WRR. The S5130S-EI series switches allow you to control the guaranteed access rate (CAR) with a minimum step of 8 kbps. The devices support port mirroring for incoming and outgoing traffic to monitor packets on specific ports, as well as packet mirroring per monitoring port for network troubleshooting.
