Product Overview

The H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches are a new generation of multi-layer switches that entirely fulfills the enterprise customers’ requirement of designing and implementing a unified, highly resilient network. One of the most important and innovative highlights of the S5600 Series Ethernet Switches is the IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) technology which presents the very advantage of stackable technology. IRF enables network managers to build adaptable networks with high reliability, scalability and easy management. S5600 Series Ethernet Switches represent the next generation desktop switches, they provide high-density GE ports, 10GE uplink, and hot-swappable power suppliers and can be used in access layer of Gigabit Ethernet network or in aggregation layer with high availability as well as scalability.

The H3C S5600 Series Switches are available, offering a cost-effective path for meeting current and future service requirements from enterprises and commercial businesses. The abundant features include advanced quality of service (QoS), rate-limiting, access control lists (ACLs), static and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing, OSPF(Open Shortest Path First) and IRF function (distributed device management, distributed redundant routing and distributed link aggregation), QinQ (VLAN-VPN), RSPAN (Remote switched port analyzer), VCT (Virtual Cable Test), Protocol-Based VLAN and Voice VLAN, SSH V2 (Secure Shell V2), MVR (Multicast VLAN Registration), EAD (Endpoint Admission Defense), DLDP (Device Link Detection Protocol) and HGMP V2(Huawei group management protocol V2), Multicast routing, DHCP Server and VRRP (Virtual Redundancy Routing Protocol), HWTACACS, BGP,MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol), etc.

The H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches include the following models: S5600-26C, S5600-26C-PWR, S5600-50C, S5600-50C-PWR and S5600-26F.

S5600-26C/S5600-26C-PWR have 24 Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T ports, 4 1000BASE-X SFP (combo), 2 dedicated stacking ports and one expansion slot. S5600-50C/S5600-50C-PWR have 48 Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T ports, 4 1000BASE-X SFP (combo), 2 dedicated stacking ports and one expansion slot. S5600-26F has 24 Ethernet 1000Base-X SFP ports, 4 10/100/1000Base-T ports (combo), 2 dedicated stacking ports and one expansion slot. S5600-PWR model supports PoE, which transmit power over Ethernet to endpoint-devices. The combo ports in S5600 are combo of 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X.
