Meeting campus network evolution needs over the next ten years.
S12700 Series Agile Switches
Full Programmability
A fully programmable architecture enables new services to be flexibly and quickly provisioned within six months.
Million-Level Hardware Entries
Supporting up to 1 million Media Access Control (MAC) entries, 3 million Forwarding Information Base (FIB) entries, and 1 million NetStream entries, the switches also provide: 8 x 100 GE and 16 x 40 GE high-density cards, fully adapting to terminal and service increases in Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN), higher education, and large enterprise scenarios.
Wired and Wireless Convergence
Support for native AC functionality, managing up to 10,240 Access Points (APs), with the wireless forwarding performance of a single device reaching 4 Tbit/s. Super Virtual Fabric (SVF) virtualizes core/aggregation plus access switches and wireless APs into a single device, greatly simplifying network management.
