Excellent scalability
H3C’s S5560S-SI series switches feature 4 fixed 10GE or GE trunk ports, providing a low-cost solution for connecting to GE trunks /10GE and high-density Gigabit Ethernet ports to minimize customer costs.
H3C S5560S-SI series switches support Intelligent Resilient Framework 2 (IRF2) ), which allows you to combine up to 9 devices into one logical device, which provides high scalability and flexibility.
IPv6 functions
The S5560S-SI series switches implement a dual IPv4/IPv6 stack, which provides hardware-based IPv4/IPv6 forwarding at media speed and support for IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 routing protocols. In addition, the devices support IPV6 access control lists, quality of service (QOS) mechanisms, multicasting and network management tools that facilitate network upgrades from IPV4 to IPV6.
Intelligent fault-tolerant technology IRF2 architecture
H3C’s S5560S-SI 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 is implemented by H3C using standard Gigabit Ethernet (1GE) or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) ports and provides bandwidth allocation for service traffic and application access, with an intelligent separation of local traffic and traffic to upstream 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.
Comprehensive security policies
H3C’s S5560S-SI series switches feature an innovative multi-authentication feature on a single port, meaning the authentication modes for access can differ for different clients. For example, some clients are only able to authenticate by MAC address (such as printers) , Some user nodes use 802.1X authentication, and some user nodes can only authenticate access using the web portal. To flexibly adapt to varying network authentication requirements, the S5560S-SI series switches support multiple authentication on a single port for a unified deployment.
Top threats to network security are ARP attacks and ARP virus hijacking, the S5560S-SI series switches provide a variety of ARP protection mechanisms, such as ARP detection to verify client eligibility, ARP packet authentication, and rate limit setting for ARP to prevent ARP flood attacks targeting device processors.
H3C’s S5560S-SI series switches support End User Authentication (EAD) Admission Domination). When used in conjunction with the iMC (intelligent Management Center) management system, EAD allows you to combine endpoint security policies, such as antivirus and latest updates, with network access control mechanisms and network access rights policies into a single, consistent security system . By validating, isolating, updating, managing, and monitoring endpoint access, EAD enables you to move your network from passive, targeted security to active, end-to-end security, and from isolated to centralized management, enhancing your network’s ability to counter viruses, worms, and other threats. new threats.
Comprehensive quality of service (QoS) management policies
S5560S-SI series switches support packet filtering on levels 2 to 4, as well as traffic classification based on source MAC address, destination MAC address, source IP address, 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 S5560S-SI 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.
Excellent management capabilities< /h2>
H3C’s S5560S-SI Series switches provide simplified management with SNMPv1/v2/v3 support, allowing management across platforms such as Open View and iMC. Support for switch management via CLI and Telnet further simplifies tasks. The use of SSH 2.0 encryption provides additional security for the switch’s control channel.
High Availability
The following hardware is implemented in the switches High Availability:
Automatic monitoring of power supplies and fan modules, and alarms when power supply or temperature events are detected.
Adjusting fan speed depending on temperature changes.
Self-defense mechanisms that are triggered when detected overcurrent, overvoltage or excess temperature.
In addition to hardware redundancy, the switches provide various mechanisms for redundant nodes and channels, as well as the following protection mechanisms:
Ethernet link aggregation, including LACP.
Spanning tree protocols, including STP, RSTP and MSTP.
IRF 2 in daisy chain or ring topology combined with link aggregation across different chassis.
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.
