H3C S10500 Series SwitchComprehensive Evaluation

Abstract

Tolly engineers verified the performance of the H3C S10500 high-end core routing switches and key features that make the switch family suited to fulfill the requirements and needs for enterprise campus networks, metropolitan-area networks (MANs) and data center networks.

Tolly engineers selected one S10508-V switch with eight LSU1QGS8SF0 interface modules to verify that S10508-V could support 100% Layer 2 line-rate throughput with 64 40GbE ports (2.56Tbps aggregated throughput) using snake traffic topology. Tolly engineers also selected one S10508-V switch with eight LSU1TGS48SF0 interface modules to verify that S10508-V could support 100% line-rate Layer 2, IPv4 and IPv6 throughput with 384 10GbE ports (3.84Tbps aggregated throughput) using full mesh traffic topology. Advanced features like MDC, TRILL, FCoE, MPLS, ISSU, IRF2, etc. were also verified by Tolly engineers.
