Applications

The H3C S7500 series high-end multi-service switch can be deployed as the core layer of Enterprise networks, campus networks and education MANs, the convergence layer of carriers’ IP MANs, and the access layer of Data centers.

Application 1: Core layer of large Enterprise/Campus

With the popularization of the application of Gigabit-to-desktop, 10GE Ethernet technology will be widely used on the convergence layer and the backbone layer. In a large enterprise or campus network, H3C S7506R is usually located at the core layer. The application of 10GE wire-speed link between branches and Headquarters can guarantee the sufficient bandwidth. And configured with dual main controls units, dual switching units, multiple power supplies as redundant backups, as well as LACP on 10GE ports across boards in S7506R can avoid network interruption.

LS8M1TGX2H-XG and LS8M1TGX4H-XG interface modules all support LACP across boards.

Application 2: Aggregation layer of carriers’ IP MAN

In IP MAN network, S7500 usually act as aggregation layers equipment. In this topology, S7502 can provide more flexible and cost effective configuration. It can offer FE, GE and 10GE interfaces in a compact chassis.

 

The S7500 can build a reliable network based on powerful QoS ability. It supports PBR/NAT/NetStream via LS8M1VSNPH interface module. The public IP address can be saved by configuring NAT feature on the S7500. By setting policy based routing features, important users can be allowed to use the high speed links. NetStream feature is integrated in LS8M1VSNPH interface module and can implement data exported, collected and analyzed with servers. It can help the network administrator adjust QoS and routing policy in order to solve potential problems in network.

Application 3: GE-to-Desktop of access layer

With the cost of GE interface decreasing, it becomes possible and popular to realize GE-to-desktop. The H3C S7500 series can provide a high density, wire-speed and cost-effective solution in the access layer. The S7500 can support up to 292 GE interface in one chassis.

High density, non wire-speed and cost-effective solution

The Salience^TM III Edge super engine is the most cost-effective selection as MCU. The GE electrical interface modules are compliant with Salience^TM III Edge include LS8M1GT48H and LS8M1GT48AH and high density SFP interface modules include LS8M1GP20AH. The LS8M1TGX1CH is recommended to build a 10GE uplink platform.

High density, wire-speed, high performance solution

The H3C S7500 series focus on building a high density, wire-speed and high performance network of access layer. LS8M1GP48H-XG, LS8M1GT48BH-XG, LS8M1T16PH-XG and LS8M1T32PH-XG can help to offer multi flexible access mode. It can support Jumbo Frame. It is usually used to provide a non-block forwarding network in a data center.

Application 4: EPON solution

In the IP MAN or large enterprise networks, the H3C S7500 series switch usually connects with core router or switch in the backbone by 10GE platform. And with the release of kinds of EPON product, the H3C S7500 can be used to deploy a high bandwidth, high security, easy management network. In addition, splitter with different split ratio can be selected for flexible and scalable network.
