H3C S6520X Series High Performance Multirate Enterprise SDN Switches

H3C S6520X Series represents a new generation of intelligent multirate Ethernet switches tailored for medium and large enterprise campuses, office buildings, smart parks and small-to-medium data center network construction. Adopting advanced dedicated switching chip architecture, the series delivers stable wire-speed forwarding, flexible port combination capabilities and complete network service functions, perfectly matching modern high-bandwidth, low-latency and high-reliability network deployment requirements.

Diversified Hardware Port Configuration

The H3C S6520X Series enriches product specifications with multiple fixed port models, covering 24-port and 48-port 10G optical port versions, 10G electrical port PoE versions, and matched 40G high-speed uplink interfaces. It supports flexible rate adaptation and port breakout functions, allowing 40G ports to be split into multiple 10G interfaces, fully meeting access, aggregation and uplink connection demands of enterprise terminals, servers and wireless access points.

Industrial Grade Reliability Design

All models of the S6520X Series adopt modular hardware design, equipped with hot-swappable power supply modules and fan components, supporting dual power redundancy and automatic fault switching. The device supports front-to-back and back-to-front reversible airflow heat dissipation, adapting to various cabinet heat dissipation environments. With strict industrial temperature and humidity adaptability, it can operate continuously for a long time in complex computer room and on-site deployment scenarios.

Powerful Network Virtualization Capability

The series is fully compatible with H3C IRF2 intelligent stacking technology, realizing physical device clustering into one logical network entity, simplifying network topology and reducing later operation and maintenance costs. It supports common link redundancy technologies such as M-LAG and RRPP, effectively avoiding single-point network failures, improving overall network stability and realizing seamless switching of business traffic.

Complete IPv4 and IPv6 Routing Features

H3C S6520X Series inherits comprehensive Layer 3 routing performance, supporting complete IPv4 and IPv6 dual protocol stacks, including static routing, dynamic routing protocols and multicast routing services. Rich VLAN isolation, flexible QinQ and nested QinQ functions are provided to implement logical isolation and resource scheduling of different business departments, which is suitable for multi-service and multi-tenant network partition deployment.

Built-in Security Defense and QoS Mechanism

Integrated with multiple enterprise-level security defense mechanisms, the switch supports terminal access authentication, port security binding, ARP anti-attack and DOS/DDOS attack suppression, effectively isolating illegal access and network intrusion. The refined QoS scheduling mechanism can identify and mark different types of business traffic, conduct bandwidth limit and priority scheduling, ensuring stable transmission of voice, video and key business data under high network load.

Intelligent O&M and SDN Compatible Architecture

The S6520X Series supports multiple management modes such as web graphical management, command line management and remote network management, and is compatible with mainstream network management platforms to realize centralized monitoring and batch configuration. It reserves SDN programmable interface, supports open standard protocols, can adapt to cloud network integration and automated network operation and maintenance construction, and reserves expansion space for subsequent network upgrade and iteration.
