Abstract

Huawei S5730-SI series switches are next-generation standard gigabit Layer 3 switches. They can be used as campus network access or aggregation switches or data center access switches.

Tolly engineers evaluated S5730-SI series switches’ performance and capacity, security features (CPU defend, attack source traceback, MAC-Forced Forwarding, DHCP snooping, IP source guard, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), Source Address Validation Improvements (SAVI), PPPoE+, etc.), user access authentication (MAC, web portal, 802.1x), high availability features (ERPS, SEP and RRPP ring protection features as well as STP/RSTP/MSTP), secure boot, Open Programmability System (OPS) and multiple other features (VLAN Central Management Protocol (VCMP), policy VLAN, OSPF/RIP/ RIPng routing protocols, sFlow traffic monitoring, and more).
