H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Table of Contents
H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred to as the S5500-EI series)
are Gigabit Ethernet switching products developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies
Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as H3C). The S5500-EI series support diversified
service features, IPv6 forwarding, and routing function, and provide 10GE extended
module slots. Through the H3C proprietary cluster management, you can streamline
network management. The S5500-EI series are designed to operate at the
convergence or access layer of enterprise networks and metropolitan area networks
(MANs). The S5500-EI series support the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and can also be used
for connecting server groups in data centers.
Table 1-1 lists the models of the S5500-EI series.
Together with an auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port, each 1000Base-X
SFP port forms a Combo port. For each Combo port, either the SFP port or the
auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port can be used at a time. For the
mapping between the two ports forming a Combo port, refer to
Table 1-2 Mapping between two ports forming a Combo port
The S5500-28C-EI provides twenty-four auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet
ports, four 1000Base-X SFP port s, and one console port on the front pan el, and one AC
power socket, one redundant power system (RPS) port, and two extended module slots
on the rear panel.
