Huawei S5720-EI Series Switches
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. - FIPS 140 #2971
The S5720 series Ethernet switches are next-generation energy-saving switches developed by Huawei to meet the demand for high-bandwidth access and Ethernet multi-service aggregation. Based on cutting-edge hardware and Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP) software, the S5720 provides a large switching capacity, high reliability (double power slots and hardware Ethernet OAM), and high-density GE ports to accommodate 10 Gbit/s upstream transmissions. The S5720 is available in a lite (LI) series, a standard (SI) series, an enhanced (EI) series, and a hyper (HI) series.
