S9700 Series Terabit Routing Switches
The S9700 series terabit routing switches (S9700 for short) are high-end switches designed for next-generation campus networks and data centers to provide service aggregation.
Based on Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), the S9700 provides high L2/L3 switching capabilities and integrates diversified services such as MPLS VPN, hardware IPV6, desktop cloud, video conferencing, wireless access. In addition, the S9700 also provides a variety of reliability technologies including in-service software upgrade, non-stop forwarding, hardware OAM/BFD, and ring network protection. These technologies improve customers' network efficiency and maximize the normal operation time, which reduce customers' total cost of ownership (TCO).
●Up to 480G per slot, 100GbE Ready
●Up to 480*10GbE, 96*40GbE
●Innovative Cluster Switching System(CSS)
●Hardware BFD/Ethernet OAM
●Built-in AC, integrated wired and wireless solution
●Compact-chassis design
The S9700 is available in three models: S9703, S9706, and S9712.
Advanced Architecture to Ensure Industry-Leading Performance
The S9700 is designed for a 100G platform and provides a maximum of 5.12 Tbps switching capacity, which can be smoothly expanded to 7.68 Tbps to support high-density GE/10GE line-speed forwarding.
The S9700 has line cards that have the highest densities in the industry, such as 8*40GE and 40*10GE line cards.
The S9700 supports a maximum of 96*40GE ports or 480*10GE ports, bringing enterprise campus networks and data centers into the era of the all-10GE core network.
The S9700 supports the 100G Ethernet standard to meet future requirements from bandwidth-intensive applications (such as multimedia conferencing and data access), eliminating the trouble of frequent upgrading.
Innovative CSS Technology
The S9700 switches can form a cluster switch system (CSS) using service ports on LPUs. The CSS technology virtualizes multiple physical switches into one logical device that has higher reliability, switching efficiency, and flexibility and is easier to manage.
High reliability: Through hot backup of routes, all control plane and data plane information is backed up and forwarded continuously at Layer 3, which significantly improves the reliability and performance of the device. Inter-chassis link aggregation can also be used to eliminate single-point failure and prevent service interruption.
Flexibility: Service ports can be used as cluster ports so that cluster members can be connected through optical fibers. This expands the clustering distance substantially.
Easy management: The member switches in a cluster are managed using the same IP address, which simplifies network device and topology management, improves operation efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs.
Full-Service Ethernet Switching Platform
The S9700 supports distributed Layer 2 and Layer 3 MPLS VPN functions, including MPLS, VPLS, HVPLS, and VLL, meeting the access requirements of enterprise VPNs.
The S9700 supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 multicast protocols, implements multicast replication among VLANs at the line rate, provides independent multicast QoS queues, and gives priority to services requiring minimal delay, such as voice and video services.
High-Performance IPv6 Service Support
Both the hardware platform and software platform of the S9700 support IPv6. The S9700 has earned the IPv6 Ready Phase 2 (Gold) designation.
The S9700 supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, various tunneling technologies, IPv6 static routes, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP+, IS-ISv6, and IPv6 multicast to meet the requirements of independent IP networks and IPv4/IPv6 integrated networks.
Excellent Security Design
The S9700 comes equipped with an integrated firewall card. It supports virtual firewalls and NAT multi-instance, allowing multiple VPN customers to share the same firewall.
The S9700 performs authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) on access users according to pre-defined policies. In addition, the S9700 supports 802.1x, portal, guest VLAN, and dynamic user access authentication.
Wireless and Passive Integrated Access
The S9700 wireless AC card supports radio frequency management. The S9700 allows APs to automatically select their radio channels and power.
The S9700 wireless AC card supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 roaming and allows STAs to rapidly switch to the radio of another AP. It supports 1+1 and N+1 backup between ACs and load balancing among ACs, improving network reliability.
Innovative Energy Saving Design
The S9700 uses a rotating ventilation channel, improving heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, it uses a variable current chip to dynamically adjust the power according to traffic, reducing power consumption by 11%. Ports can hibernate when they do not transmit traffic or consume power.
The S9700 supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, provides the low power idle mode for the line card PHY, and switches to a lower speed (power) PHY during low link utilization.
