H3C 12500-X Series SwitchPerformance, Power Consumption and Feature Test

Abstract

Tolly engineers verified the performance of the H3C S12500-X series 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 S12510-X switch with ten LSX1QGS12EC1 interface modules to verify that the S12510-X could support 100% Layer 2 line- rate throughput with 120 40GbE ports (4.8Tbps aggregated throughput) using snake traffic topology. Tolly engineers also selected one S12510-X switch with ten LSX1TGS48EA1 interface modules to verify that the S12510-X could support 100% line-rate Layer 2, IPv4 and IPv6 throughput with 480 10GbE ports (4.8Tbps aggregated throughput) using full mesh traffic topology. Advanced features like MDC, TRILL, FCoE, MPLS, ISSU, IRF2, etc. were also verified byTolly engineers.
