S12700 Series Agile Switches

High-capacity core switches for next-generation campus networks. Fully programmable, SDN-capable architecture and specialized ENP processor enable easy customization of features and functions, and smooth migration to Software-Defined Networking.

Based on Huawei’s Virtual Routing Platform (VRP), the S12700 combines L2/L3 switching with rich network services including MPLS VPN, cloud desktop, video conferencing, and IPv6 support.

Non-stop forwarding architecture, CSS2 switch fabric clustering, and in-service software upgrades provide scalable, high-performance switching with carrier-grade reliability.

Features

Build a converged enterprise network and provide new services faster with Huawei’s SDN-ready Agile Switch

  • Huawei’s Ethernet Network Processor (ENP) enables programmable packet parsing, algorithm searching, forwarding behaviors, and performance management features including packet processing, so new services can be provisioned without replacing hardware
  • Native Access Controllers (ACs) let you build a wireless network quickly, without new hardware — up to 6,144 Access Points (APs) and 65,536 users per S12700 chassis
  • Super Virtual Fabric (SVF 2.0) virtualizes physical switches and APs into a “super switch,” adding flexibility and simplifying network management
  • Huawei’s unique Packet Conservation Algorithm for Internet (iPCA) technology uses marks added to service packets to actively monitor network quality, detecting temporary interruptions and faulty ports within seconds
