Software Defined Network (SDN)
Software Defined Network (SDN) is an innovative network architecture that simplifies network management and reduces maintenance complexity by separating network control layer and network forwarding layer through Openflow. More importantly, it implements flexible network flow control and provides a well-defined network platform for core network application and innovation.
The S5135S-EI series switch supports a large network flow table. Combined with H3C SDN controller, it can easily implement a two-layer network architecture and quickly add functions in existing network in order to drastically reduce network management complexity while substantially lowers network maintenance cost.
IRF2 (Intelligent Resilient Framework 2)
The S5135S-EI series switch supports IRF2 technology that connects multiple physical devices (up to 9) to a logical device, that is to say, users can manage and use these devices as a single device. IRF can bring the following benefits to the user:
Simplify the management: Any one of the ports can be connected to any of the devices to login to a unified logical device, and to manage the whole system and all the members of the system through the configuration of a single device, without the physical connection to each member of the device.
High scalability: With IRF2, plug-n-play device aggregation can be achieved by adding one or more switches into the IRF2 stack and 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: IRF2 patented 1: N standby technology allows each slave device in the IRF2 stack to serve as the backup of the master, creating control and data link redundancy, as well as uninterrupted layer-3 forwarding. This improves the 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, upstream and downstream can be connected to more than one physical link, which creates another layer of network redundancy and boosts the network resource utilization.
Availability: H3C Implements IRF2 through standard Gigabit Ethernet (1GE) ports ports which allocates bandwidth for business and application access and reasonably splits local traffic and upstream traffic.
Comprehensive Security Control
H3C S5135S-EI series switch supports innovative single-port multi-authentication function, the access authentication modes supported by different clients are different. For example, some clients can only perform MAC addresses Authentication (such as the printer terminal), and some user host for 802.1X authentication, and some user hosts only want to access through the Web portal authentication. In order to flexibly adapt to the multi-authentication requirements of the network environment, the S5135S-EI switch series support single-port multi-authentication unified deployment.
H3C S5135S-EI series switch supports SSH V2 (Secure Shell V2) to secure information security, and strong authentication protect the Ethernet network switch from attacks such as IP address spoofing and clear text interception.
ARP attack and ARP virus are major threats to LAN security, so the S5135S-EI switch series comes with diverse ARP protection functions such as ARP Detection to challenge the legitimacy of client, validate the ARP packets, and set a speed limit for ARP to prevent ARP swarm attacks from targeting CPU.
H3C S5135S-EI series switch supports EAD (End User Admission Domination) function. With the iMC (intelligent Management Centre) system, EAD integrates terminal security policies, such as anti-virus and patch update, network access control and access right control policies to form a cooperative security system. By checking, isolating, updating, managing, and monitoring access terminals, EAD changes to passive mode, single point network protection to active, comprehensive network protection, and changes separate management to centralized management, enhancing the network capability for preventing viruses, worms, and new threats.
High Availability
H3C S5135S-EI series switch features multiple redundancy measures at the device and link levels, support current and voltage surge control, overheat protection, power and fan troubleshooting and alert, as well as fan speed adjustment when the temperature changes.
Apart from device level redundancy, H3C S5135S-EI series switch also provides diverse link redundancy support such as LACP/STP/RSTP/MSTP/Smart Link protocols. It supports IRF2 and 1: N redundancy backup as well as cross-device link aggregation which substantially increases network reliability.
Abundant QoS
H3C S5135S-EI series switch supports packet filtering at Layer 2 through Layer 4, and traffic classification based on source MAC addresses, destination MAC addresses, source IP addresses, destination IP addresses, TCP/UDP port numbers, protocol types, and VLANs. It supports flexible queue scheduling algorithms based on ports and queues, including strict priority (SP), weighted round Robin (WRR) and SP+WRR. The S5135S-EI switch series enables committed access rate (CAR) with the minimum granularity of 8 kbps. It supports port mirroring in the outbound and inbound directions, to monitor the packets on the specific ports, and to mirror the packets to the monitor port for network detection and troubleshooting.
Professional Surge Protection Function
H3C S5135S-EI series switch uses professional built-in surge protection technology and supports the industry-leading 10KV service port surge protection capability, which greatly reduces the damage rate of surge strikes to equipment even in harsh working environments.
Excellent Manageability
H3C S5135S-EI series switch makes switch management with ease with the support of SNMPv1/v2/v3, which can be managed by NM platforms, such as Open View and iMC. With CLI and Telnet switch management is made easier. And with SSH 2.0 encryption, switch management security is enhanced.
Fast PoE, Perpetual PoE
Fast PoE: Typically, PIs (power interface) does not deliver power to PDs (powered device) the moment the PSE (power sourcing equipment) is powered on but wait until the PSE completes startup. Fast PoE enables PIs to deliver power to PDs within few seconds after power is supplied to the PSE.
Perpetual PoE: Perpetual PoE continuously monitors the PD states and ensures continued power supply to PDs even when the PSE device is hot rebooting.
Green Design
The S5135S-EI series switch implements a variety of green energy saving features, including auto-power-down (port automatic energy saving), if the interface status has been down for a period of time, the system automatically stops the interface power and the system enters power-saving mode. They also support EEE energy feature, by which if a port stays idle for a period of time, the system will set the port to energy-saving mode. The S5135S-EI switch series is also compliant with material environmental protection and the EU RoHS safety standard.
The S5135S-EI switch series 24-port (S5135S-24T4S-EI-Q) and 48-port (S5135S-48T4S-EI-Q) switches are fanless design, significantly reduce devices power consumption and noise.
