Maintenance free, easy deployment, and easy management
The S2700 supports automatic configuration and plug-and-play, which dramatically reduces maintenance costs.
The S2700 supports GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP), which dynamically distributes, registers, and propagates VLAN attributes to ensure correct VLAN configuration and reduce network administrator workloads.
Flexible service control
The S2700-EI supports various ACLs. ACL rules can be applied to VLANs to flexibly control ports and schedule VLAN resources.
Excellent security features
The S2700 supports DHCP snooping, which generates user binding entries based on users' access interfaces, MAC addresses, IP addresses, IP address leases, VLAN IDs.
The S2700 can limit the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on an interface to prevent attackers from exhausting MAC address entries by using bogus source MAC addresses.
The S2700 supports centralized MAC address authentication, 802.1x authentication, and NAC.
PoE function
The S2700 PWR can use Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supplies with different power levels to provide -48 V DC power for powered devices (PDs) such as IP Phones, WLAN APs, and Bluetooth APs. In its role as power sourcing equipment (PSE), the S2700 PWR complies with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at (PoE+), and can work with PDs that are incompatible with 802.3af or 802.3at (PoE+). Each port provides a maximum of 30 W of power, complying with IEEE 802.3at. The PoE+ function increases the maximum power available on each port and implements intelligent power management for high-power consumption applications. This process facilitates the ease of PD use. PoE ports are still able to work while in power-saving mode.
High scalability
The S2700 series switches (S2700-52P-EI-AC, S2710-52P-SI-AC, S2700-52P-PWR-EI, and S2710-52P-PWR-SI) support intelligent stacking (iStack). Multiple S2700 switches can be connected with stack cables and set up as a stack to expand the system switching capacity. Meanwhile, stacking switches work as a virtual system and are managed using a single IP address, which greatly reduces cost of system operation and maintenance.
Other S2700 models support the Huawei Group Management Protocol (HGMP). A maximum of 16 switches can set up a stack using the HGMP protocol and be managed using one IP address. This function implements automatic and centralized management of a large number of sparsely distributed switches.
Comprehensive QoS policies
The S2700 supports complex traffic classification based on packets' port numbers, VLAN IDs, source MAC/IP addresses, destination MAC/IP addresses, IP protocols, or priorities.
Powerful surge protection capability
The S2700 uses the Huawei patented surge protection technique that supports 6 KV surge protection capability on service ports. This effectively protect switches against over lightning induced overvoltage. The Huawei patented surge protection technique greatly reduces the possibility of equipment being damaged by lightning, even in extreme situations or in scenarios where grounding is not feasible.
Quiet operation, energy conservation, and low radiation
The S2700 uses an energy-saving integrated circuit design to ensure even heat dissipation. Idle ports can enter a sleep mode to further reduce power consumption. The S2700 generates no sound because it does not contain any fans. Radiation produced by the S2700 is within the standard range for electric appliances and causes no harm to the human body.
100 Mbit/s Access Rate for Terminals
The S2700 can function as a desktop access device that provides 100 Mbit/s access rate for terminals and 1000 Mbit/s uplink interfaces to communicate with uplink devices.
