HUAWEI S12700 series agile switches are designed for next-generation campus networks. Using a fully programmable
switching architecture, the S12700 series allows fast, flexible function customization and supports a smooth evolution to
Software-Defined Networking (SDN). The S12700 series uses a Huawei Ethernet Network Processor (ENP) and provides a
native Wireless Access Controller (AC) to help build a wired and wireless converged network. Its Unified User Management
capabilities deliver unified user and service management, and Huawei's Packet Conservation Algorithm for Internet (iPCA)
supports hop-by-hop monitoring of any service flows, helping manage services in a more refined way. The S12700 series runs
the Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), which provides high-performance L2/L3 switching services and rich network
services, such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN, hardware IPv6, desktop cloud, and video conferencing. In
addition, the S12700 series offers a variety of reliability technologies, including non-stop forwarding, Cluster Switch System
Generation2 (CSS2), a switch fabric hardware clustering system that allows 1+N backup of Main Processing Units (MPUs),
hardware Eth-OAM/BFD, and ring network protection. These technologies help improve productivity and maximize network
operation time, reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
