Huawei S5700 series Ethernet switches (S5700 for short) are next-generation energy-saving Gigabit
Ethernet switches that function as the access devices to deliver high bandwidth or aggregation device
for Ethernet multi-service networks. Built on next-generation high-performance processors and Huawei
Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), the S5700 is available in four series: LI, SI, EI, and HI.
The S5720-SI series switches (S5720-SI for short) are next-generation standard gigabit Layer 3 Ethernet
switches that provide flexible full gigabit access and cost-effective fixed GE ports and 10GE uplink ports.
The S5720-SI was developed based on next-generation high-performing hardware and the Huawei
Versatile Routing Platform (VRP). The S5720-SI supports simplified operations and maintenance (O&M),
intelligent stack (iStack), flexible Ethernet networking, and MACsec. It also provides enhanced Layer 3
features and mature IPv6 features. The S5720-SI can be used in various scenarios. For example, it can be
used as an access or aggregation switch on a campus network or as an access switch in a data center.

Single-Power
The single-power model uses a built-in AC power supply and supports RPS1800. The single-power models
include S5720S-28P-SI-AC, S5720S-28X-SI-AC, S5720S-52P-SI-AC, and S5720S-52X-SI-AC.
An RPS1800 is a redundant power supply system that provides power redundancy for the connected
switches to ensure uninterrupted services. When the internal power supply of a switch fails, the RPS1800
provides power to the switch immediately, which improves system reliability. Figure 3-2 shows how to
connect an RPS1800 to a switch.
Figure 3-2 Connecting an RPS1800 to an S5720S-S
The RPS1800 provides 1+6 cold backup for the switch:
• The RPS1800 can connect to a maximum of six switches and ensures seamless failover for at most one
switch when the internal power supply of the switch fails.
• When the internal power supply of the switch powered by the RPS1800 recovers, the RPS1800
immediately restores to backup state.
• Among the 6 DC output ports, OUT1 has the highest priority, and the other 5 ports have the same priority.
When the RPS1800 connects to six switches, the switch connected to OUT1 preferentially receives power
from the RPS1800.

4 Product Characteristics and Advantages
Huawei S5720-SI series have the following characteristics.
Powerful service processing capability and multiple security control mechanisms
• The S5720-SI supports many Layer 2/Layer 3 multicast protocols such as PIM SM, PIM DM, PIM SSM, MLD,
and IGMP snooping, to support multi-terminal high-definition video surveillance and video conferencing
services.
• The S5720-SI supports multiple Layer 3 features including OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, and VRRP, meeting enterprises'
requirements on access and aggregation service bearing, and enabling a variety of voice, video, and data
applications.
• The S5720-SI supports MAC address authentication, 802.1x authentication, and Portal authentication, and
implements dynamic delivery of policies (VLAN, QoS, and ACL) to users.
• The S5720-SI provides a series of mechanisms to defend against DoS and user-targeted attacks. DoS
attacks are targeted at switches and include SYN flood, Land, Smurf, and ICMP flood attacks. Usertargeted attacks include bogus DHCP server attacks, IP/MAC address spoofing, DHCP request flood, and
change of the DHCP CHADDR value.
• The S5720-SI sets up and maintains a DHCP snooping binding table, and discards the packets that do not
match the table entries. You can specify DHCP snooping trusted and untrusted ports to ensure that users
connect only to the authorized DHCP server.
• The S5720-SI supports strict ARP learning, which protects a network against ARP spoofing attacks to
ensure normal network access.
Easy O&M
• The S5720-SI supports Super Virtual Fabric (SVF), which virtualizes the "Core/aggregation + Access switch
+ AP" structure into a logical device. The S5720-SI provides the simplest network management solution in
the industry to simplify device management. It allows plug-and-play access switches and APs. In addition,
the S5720-SI supports service configuration templates. The templates are configured on core devices and
automatically delivered to access devices, enabling centralized control, simplified service configuration,
and flexible configuration modification. The S5720-SI functions as a client in an SVF system.
• The S5720-SI supports zero-touch deployment, replacement of faulty devices without additional
configuration, USB-based deployment, batch configuration, and batch remote upgrade. The capabilities
facilitate device deployment, upgrade, service provisioning, and other management and maintenance
operations, and also greatly reduce O&M costs. The S5720-SI can be managed using SNMP v1/v2c/v3, CLI,
web-based network management system, or SSH v2.0. Additionally, it supports RMON, multiple log hosts,
port traffic statistics collection, and network quality analysis, which facilitate network optimization and
reconstruction.
• The S5720-SI supports the Sampled Flow (sFlow) function. It uses a method defined in the sFlow standard
to sample traffic passing through it and sends sampled traffic to the collector in real time. The collected
traffic statistics are used to generate statistical reports, helping enterprises maintain their networks.

Multiple reliability mechanisms
• The S5720-SI supports iStack. This technology can virtualize up to nine physical switches into one logical
switch. Downlink electrical ports support iStack. Member switches in a stack implement redundancy
backup to improve device reliability and use inter-device link aggregation to improve link reliability. iStack
provides high network scalability. You can increase a stack's ports, bandwidth, and processing capacity by
simply adding member switches. iStack also simplifies device configuration and management. After a stack
is set up, multiple physical switches are virtualized into one logical device. You can log in to any member
switch in the stack to manage all the member switches in the stack.
• The S5720-SI is equipped with two removable power modules that can work in 1+1 redundancy backup
mode. Mixed installation of AC and DC power modules is supported, allowing for flexible configuration of
AC or DC power modules according to service requirements.
• In addition to traditional STP, RSTP, and MSTP, the S5720-SI supports Huawei-developed Smart Ethernet
Protection (SEP) technology and the latest Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) standard. SEP is a
ring protection protocol specific to the Ethernet link layer, and applies to various ring network topologies,
such as open ring topology, closed ring topology, and cascading ring topology. This protocol is reliable,
easy to maintain, and implements fast protection switching within 50 ms. ERPS is defined in ITU-T G.8032.
It implements millisecond-level protection switching based on traditional Ethernet MAC and bridging
functions.
• The S5720-SI supports Smart Link. One S5720-SI switch can connect to multiple aggregation switches
through multiple links, implementing backup of uplinks and significantly improving reliability of access
devices.
• The S5720-SI supports Ethernet OAM (IEEE 802.3ah/802.1ag) to detect link faults quickly.
Mature IPv6 technologies
• The S5720-SI uses the mature, stable VRP platform and supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, IPv6 RIPng, and IPv6
over IPv4 tunnels (including manual, 6-to-4, and ISATAP tunnels). With these IPv6 features, the S5720SI can be deployed on a pure IPv4 network, a pure IPv6 network, or a shared IPv4/IPv6 network, helping
achieve IPv4-to-IPv6 transition.
PoE++ ultra-large power supply
• The S5720-SI provides a PoE++ model, which supports 2.5GE/GE PoE++ Ethernet electrical ports that are
compatible with GE cables. The PoE++ model provides up to 90 W power supply per port, accommodating
the requirements of scenarios in which a large power supply is required, such as enterprise office desktop
systems, smart lighting, and Wi-Fi/LTE Pico co-site.
Cloud-based management
• The S5720-SI can work in cloud-based management mode or traditional management based on
requirements. In cloud-based management mode, the S5720-SI can be monitored, managed, and
configured on the Huawei agile cloud management platform (Agile Controller-Cloud Manager). A mobile
O&M app is also supported.
