Product Description

CloudEngine S8700 Series high-end smart routing Switch CloudEngine S8700-10 with 10 slots, 13U, 13.6Tbps switching, 6*Power Supply

CloudEngine S8700 series switches ("CloudEngine S8700") are next-generation modular aggregation/access switches ideal for future-proof cloud campus networks. They are available in three models — CloudEngine S8700-4 with 4 slots/ CloudEngine S8700-8 with 8 slots and CloudEngine S8700-10 with 10 slots — and come with ultra-high densities of GE, 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, and 100GE access ports, helping quickly build a future-proof campus network with simplified architecture.

Built on HW's next-generation converged software platform — CloudEngine S8700 offers customers a trusted system and secure data access. All key components of CloudEngine S8700, including the main control boards, power modules, and fan modules, adopt a redundancy design for carrier-grade reliability.

Characteristics

Agile Switches for Agile Networks

The S8700's unified user management function ensures a consistent user experience regardless of differences in access device capabilities and access modes.

Powerful Service Processing Capability, Improving Network Architecture Scalability

The S8700's highly scalable backplane enables a port bandwidth upgrade to 100 Gbit/s, and supports compatibility with currently used cards in order to protect investment.

• High-density mGE/10GE ports help to build all-10GE core networks in enterprise campuses and data centers.
• With a multi-service routing and switching platform, the S8700 meets service transmission requirements at the access, aggregation, and core layers of enterprise networks, and provides wireless access, voice, video, and data services, helping to build a multi-service network with high availability and low latency.
• The S8700 supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 multicast protocols, including Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM SM), PIM Dense Mode (DM), PIM Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping. These multicast protocols ensure high-quality HD video surveillance and video conferencing services.

Carrier-Grade Reliability and Visualized Fault Diagnosis

• The S8700 provides redundant backup for key components, including SRUs, power modules, and fan modules, all of which are hot swappable. Such an advanced reliability design achieves high availability.

Well-Designed QoS Mechanisms Improve Voice and Video User Experience

The S8700's QoS control mechanisms classify traffic based on information from the link layer to the application layer. With advanced queue scheduling and congestion control algorithms, the S8700 performs accurate multi-level scheduling for data flows, satisfying enterprises' QoS requirements for a variety of services and user terminals.

High Performance IPv6 Service Processing Allows Seamless Transition from IPv4 to IPv6

The S8700 software and hardware platforms support the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, various tunneling technologies, IPv6 static routing, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP+, and IPv6 IS-IS, allowing for pure IPv6 networking and combined IPv4 and IPv6 networking.

Comprehensive Security Mechanisms Protect Against Internal and External Security Threats

• The S8700 supports MACsec that provides hop-by-hop secure data transmission. MACsec is suitable for meeting high requirements on data confidentiality in scenarios such as governments and financial institutions.
• Comprehensive Network Admission Control (NAC) solutions for enterprise networks: The S8700 supports MAC address authentication, 802.1X authentication, policy association, and free mobility to ensure the security of various access modes, such as dumb terminal access, mobile access, and centralized IP address allocation.
• Two-level CPU protection mechanism: The S8700 supports CPU hardware queues and separates the data plane from the control plane, which helps to defend against DoS attacks and unauthorized access while preventing control plane overloading.

Application

S8700 switches on an enterprise campus network

S8700 switches support hardware-based BFD and hardware-based CPU protection queues, which enhance network reliability and security.
