Open application architecture

Intelligent Resilient Framework 2 (IRF2)

Wide range of features

Comprehensive security control policies

Multiple high availability measures

Excellent manageability

In H3C open application architecture (OAA), the switch can accommodate high-performance OAP modules to offer dedicated services such as firewall, IPS, or load balancing in addition to conventional forwarding services. By installing OAP modules, the switch can be used as a multiservice device without separated service appliances, such as a firewall device.

Modular hardware and software design — The switch uses modular, hot swapping, and redundancy design for hardware, including power modules. The switch also uses modular design for software, which enables feature installation and removal on an as-needed basis. Refined physical architecture and optimized

High scalability: With IRF2, plug-n-play device aggregation can be achieved by adding one or more switches into the IRF2 stack, enabling IRF2 stacking on the new device. New devices can be managed with a single IP, and upgraded at the same time to reduce network expansion cost.

High reliability: The IRF2 patented 1:N backup technology allows each slave device in the IRF2 stack to serve as the backup of the master, creating control and data link redundancy, and uninterrupted layer-3 forwarding. This improves reliability, avoids unplanned business downtime, and serves to improve overall performance. When the master device fails, traffic remains uninterrupted.

Load balancing: IRF2 supports cross-device link aggregation, allowing upstream and downstream to be connected to more than one physical link. This creates another layer of network redundancy, and boosts the network resource utilization.

Availability: H3C Implements IRF2 through standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) or 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GE) ports. It can allocate bandwidth for business and application access, and reasonably splits local traffic and upstream traffic. IRF2 rules are obeyed within and across the rack, but also across the LAN.

H3C S6520X-SI switch series is pre-built with intelligent resilient Framework 2 (IRF2). IRF2 provides the following benefits:

H3C S6520X-SI switch series offers a wide range of features:

H3C S6520X-SI switch series supports MP-BGP EVPN (Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol Ethernet Virtual Private Network) uses standard-based BGP protocol as the control plane for VXLAN overlay networks, providing BGP based VTEP auto peer discovery and end-host reachability information distribution. MP-BGP EVPN delivers many benefits, such as eliminating traffic flooding, reducing full mesh requirements between VTEPs via the introduction of BGP RR, achieving optimal flow based end to end load sharing and more. H3C S6520X-SI switch series supports AAA, RADIUS and user

account based authentication, IP, MAC, VLAN, port-based user identification, dynamic and static binding; when working with the H3C iMC platform, it can conduct real time management, instant diagnosis and crackdown on illicit network behavior.

H3C S6520X-SI switch series supports enhanced ACL control logic, which enables an enormous amount of in-port and out-port ACL, and delegate VLAN based ACL. This simplifies user deployment process and avoids ACL resource wastage. S6520X-SI switch series can also take advantage of Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (Unicast RFP). When the device receives a packet, it will perform the reverse check to verify the source address from which the packets are supposedly originated, and will drop the packet if such path doesn’t exist. This will crub the increasingly common originating address spoofing.

H3C S6520X-SI switch series supports high availability at device level and link level.

H3C S6520X-SI switch series adopts hot swappable dual-power supply design, which allows you to configure AC or DC power supplies as needed. The switch can detect faults in power supplies, and will if any such faults are found, respond with an alarm. It can automatically adjust fan speed according to the temperature

H3C S6520X-SI switch series supports abundant management ports, such as the console port, mini-USB and the out-of-band network management port. It supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1/v2/v3, Open View, IMC, CLI, Web-based NMS and Telnet allowing easy device management. It also supports SSH2.0 to provide better protection management.

Features

As network bandwidth increases, they require switches that can provide higher performance forwarding power with GE port to provide scalability. There are different high-density port options for S6520X-SI switch series for users to choose according to their requirements, in which S6520X-26C-SI can provide upto 24-port 10G SFP+ together with expansion slot, S6520X-26C-SI can provide total of 32 10G SFP+ ports. S6520X-26MC-SI and S6520X-26MC-UPWR-SI are multi gigabit switch, they can provide fixed 24-port 1G/2.5/5G Base-T ports, with expansion slot, which can further provide 8 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Base-T ports.

software workflows greatly reduce the end-to-end packet processing delay.

Software-defined networking (SDN) — An innovative network architecture that separates the control plane from the forwarding plane, typically by using OpenFlow. SDN significantly simplifies network management, reduces maintenance complexities and costs, enables flexible traffic management, and offers a good platform for network and application innovations.

Virtual eXtensible LAN (VXLAN) — A MAC-in-UDP technology that provides Layer 2 connectivity between distant network sites across an IP network. VXLAN enables long-distance virtual machine and data mobility and is typically used in data centers and the access layer of campus networks for multitenant services. The H3C implementation of VXLAN supports automatic VXLAN tunnel establishment with EVPN.
