Abstract

Huawei-3Com, a joint venture between Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and 3Com Corp., commissioned The Tolly Group to seven members of the Quidway LAN switch line, which is designed to serve the needs of enterprise network users. Tolly Group engineers exercised three Layer 2 switches and four Layer 3 switches in a series of tests designed to certify the advanced functions of the switches.

Engineers tested a diverse set of features and functions, almost 30 capabilities on some models. Engineers examined such capabilities as auto negotiation, port mirroring, support for Jumbo Frames, virtual LAN (VLAN) services, Quality of Service (QoS), rate limiting and more. Tests were conducted during July and August 2004 at The Tolly Group’s Boca Raton, FL. facilities

Test results show that the Huawei-3Com switches were awarded Tolly Verified certifications for all of the tests in which they participated.
