H3C S5100-48P-EI, Full duplex

0235A08M Overview

H3C S5100 Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred to as S5100 series) are a new Gigabit Ethernet switching products that entirely fulfills the enterprise customers’ requirement of designing and implementing a unified, highly resilient networks. S5100 Series Ethernet Switches represent the next generation desktop switches, they provide high-density GE ports, 10GE uplink, a variety of service features and powerful QACL functions and can be used in convergence and access devices for intranets and metropolitan area networks (MANs), and can also be used for connecting data center server clusters with high availability as well as scalability.

The H3C S5100 Series Switches are available, offering a cost-effective path for meeting current and future service requirements from enterprises and commercial businesses. The abundant features include advanced quality of service (QoS), LACP, STP/RSTP/MSTP, port rate-limiting(S5100-EI only), access control lists (ACLs)(S5100-EI only), DHCP Snooping, port mirroring, RSPAN (Remote switched port analyzer), Protocol-Based VLAN, VLAN-VPN, policy-based VLAN and Voice VLAN(S5100-EI only), port-based broadcast storm suppression, VLAN-based mirroring, MAC address–based mirroring, multicast VLAN register (MVR), SSH v2 (Secure Shell v2), VCT (Virtual Cable Test), DLDP (Device Link Detection Protocol) and HGMP v2, etc.

Full wire-speed, multi-layer switching
- S5100 series switches offer L2 wire-speed switching capacity. The product series offers 10GE uplink speed, satisfies the most demanding.
- S5100 series is able to identify and process the traffic flows from L2-L4
- With independent packet filters, all ports distinguish different flows and forward them with corresponding priority.

High reliability
- S5100 series switches support STP/RSTP/MSTP (Spanning Tree Protocol/Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol/Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol). The STP/RSTP features also support BPDU guard、Root guard, Thus the redundancy back-up and error tolerance capability of the link can be greatly improved to guarantee network stability.
- S5100 series switches support link-aggregation (include manual link aggregation and LACP), it is a simple and cost efficient way to expand the bandwidth of a switch port and balance the traffic among all the ports in a link aggregation. In addition, connection reliability is enhanced.
- H3C S5100 series also support Smart Link to provide rapid convergence. Smart Link is a link redundancy and fast convergence technology on link layer. With smart link technology, S5100 series is able to provide fast convergence time of 50ms

Flexible security control policies
- The S5100 Series support 802.1x authentication to identify users who attempt to access the network. With the 802.1x client version checking function enabled on a switch, the switch checks the version and validity of the 802.1x client running on supplicant systems to prevent those that use earlier versions of 802.1x client or illegal clients from logging in.
- The S5100 Series support Centralized MAC address authentication, it controls accesses to a network through ports and MAC addresses. This kind of authentication requires no client software. When operating in centralized MAC address authentication mode, a switch begins to authenticate the user if it detects a new user MAC address.
- The S5100 Series support The Guest VLAN function, this function enables supplicant systems that are not authenticated to access specific resources and thus perform the corresponding operations,
- The S5100 Series can also prevent unauthorized access to the network by binding MAC and port.
- The S5100 Series support other security functions, such as hierarchical management and password protection of users, AAA authentication, RADIUS authentication, port isolation and port security.

Abundant QoS policies
u The S5100 Series support L2~L4 complex flow classification based on source MAC address/destination MAC address/source IP address/destination IP address/ports/protocols.
u The S5100 Series support flexible queue scheduling algorithms, which can be set on the basis of port and queue at the same time. They support Strict Priority (SP), Shaped Deficit Weighted Round Robin (SDWRR) and SP+SDWRR; 8 priority queues.
u The S5100 Series support Committed Access Rate (CAR) and limit the traffic speed with the minimum granularity of 1 kbps.
u The S5100 Series can support priority mapping, priority marking, traffic shaping for ports and queues, port-based/flow-based rate limiting, S5100 Series also support real-time update of ACL rules based on time range changes.
u The S5100 Series support RSPAN (Remote switched port analyzer), It breaks through the limitation that the mirrored port and the mirroring port have to be located in the same switch, and makes it possible that the mirrored and mirroring ports be located across several devices in the network, and greatly enhances the way that the network administrator can manage the switch.

Diversified System Configuration and Management Modes
- The S5100 Series support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1/v2/v3 and RMON (Remote Monitoring) v1/2/3/9 groups of MIBs,. They can be managed by general network management platform such as H3C iMC network management system.
- The S5100 Series support Command Line Interface (CLI), Web based network management, modem dial-up and telnet which make the equipment management more convenient.
- The S5100 Series support HGMP V2 cluster management, After enabling HGMP V2, the network administrator can manage several member switches through one command switch and only the command switch need a public network IP address, it can save public IP address greatly and manage the network more efficiently.

Abundant System Maintenance and Debugging Methods
- The S5100 Series support System log, Hierarchical alarm management and alarm filtering, Detailed alarm/debug information output, Ping and Tracer, they also support remote maintenance via Telnet Modems and SSH.
- The S5100 Series support Ping, Traceroute and HWping. HWping is a new network diagnostic tool used to test the performance of protocols operating on network and It is an enhanced alternative to the ping command.
- The S5100 Series support DLDP (Device Link Detection Protocol), DLDP can detect the link status of the optical fiber cable or copper twisted pair. If DLDP finds a unidirectional link, it disables the related port automatically or informs users to disable it manually depending on specific configuration, to avoid potential network problems.
- The S5100 Series support Loopback detection on ports, after users enable loopback detection for Ethernet ports, the switch will monitor whether the ports have loopback on a regular basis; if the switch detects loopback for a particular port, and it will put that port under control.
The S5100 Series support VCT (Virtual Cable Test) which is convenient for troubleshooting. Customers can start the virtual cable test (VCT) to make the system test the cable connected to the current electrical Ethernet port. The test items include: whether short or open circuit exists in the Rx/Tx direction of the cable, and what is the length of the cable in normal status or the length from the port to the fault point of the cable.
