industry. The S5700-HI supports basic MPLS, VPLS and VLL functions, millisecond hardware-based
BFD, and Eth-OAM technology. Its intelligent monitoring port and dying-gasp function protect
the S5700-HI against ultra-low temperature and theft, allowing it to be installed outdoors. The
S5700-EI is for use in various enterprise network scenarios including as an access or aggregation
switch on a campus network, a gigabit access switch in an Internet data center (IDC), or a
desktop switch to provide 1000 Mbit/s access for terminals. In addition, the S5700 series delivers
excellent security and multiservice capabilities which make it the best choice as an access switch
on large and medium-sized enterprise campus networks and data centers, aggregation switch
on small enterprise campus networks, and edge device at the MAN.
S6700 Series
The S6700 series switches are next-generation 10G box switches that can function as an access
switch in an Internet Data Center (IDC) or a core switch on a campus network. It delivers
industry-leading performance and provides up to 24 or 48 line-speed 10GE ports. It can be used
in a data center to provide 10 Gbit/s access to servers or function as a core switch on a campus
network to provide 10 Gbit/s traffic aggregation. In addition, the S6700 provides a wide variety
of services, comprehensive security policies, and various QoS features to help customers build
scalable, manageable, reliable, and secure data centers.

S7700 Series
The S7700 series switches are high-end smart routing switches designed for next generation
enterprise networks. It can function either as an aggregation or core node on a campus network
or in a data center to provide integrated wireless access. The S7700 also offers voice, video, and
data services, helping enterprises build an integrated cost-effective end-to-end network. These
480 10GE port switches leverage Huaweis intelligent multi-layer switching technology to provide
intelligent service optimization methods, such as MPLS VPN, traffic analysis, comprehensive
QoS policies, controllable multicast, load balancing, and security. The S7700 features superb
scalability, reliability and high performance with Layer 2 to Layer 4 switching services including
support for multicast protocols such as PIM SM, PIM DM, PIM SSM, MLD, and IGMP snooping.
