Introduction
Huawei S12704 switch with 2xMPU slots, 2xCMU slots, 4xLPU slots, 2xSFU slots, 4xPower Module slots, 2xFan Module slots.
HUAWEI S12700 series agile switches (S12700 for short) are designed for next-generation campus networks. Using a fully programmable switching architecture, the S12700 allows fast, flexible function customization and supports smooth evolution to Software-Defined Networking (SDN). The S12700 uses a Huawei Ethernet Network Processor (ENP) and provides a native Wireless Access Controller (AC) to help build a wired and wireless converged network. Its Unified User Management capabilities deliver unified user and service management, and Huawei’s Packet Conservation Algorithm for the Internet (iPCA) supports hop-by-hop monitoring of any service flows, helping manage services in a more refined way.
The S12700 runs the Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), which provides high-performance L2/L3 switching services and rich network services, such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN, hardware IPv6, desktop cloud, video conferencing. In addition, the S12700 series uses a variety of reliability technologies, including non-stop forwarding, hardware Eth-OAM/BFD, ring network protection, and Cluster Switch System Generation2 (CSS2) — a switch fabric hardware clustering technology that allows 1+N backup of Main Processing Units (MPUs). These technologies help improve productivity and maximize network operation time, reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
