Product Description

Huawei Campus S12700 Series Agile Network Switch S12704
Product Description

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.
Product Features

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
