Ethernet Switches
Quidway S5300 Series Carrier-Class
Gigabit Ethernet Switches
Overview
The Quidway S5300 series Ethernet
switches (hereinafter referred to as the S5300) are
developed by Huawei to serve as the new generation Gigabit
Ethernet switches for services requiring high bandwidth
and for bearing multiple services. Based on high-performance
hardware of a new generation and the Versatile Routing
Platform (VRP) developed by Huawei, the S5300 provides
GE ports with large capacities, high density, and cost-effectiveness.
The S5300 also provides 10GE ports that can connect
upstream devices, which ensures multi-service access
and good expansibility. In addition, the S5300 supports
carrier-class networking such as ring and tree topologies.
In this manner, the S5300 can be deployed at the convergence
layer and IDC access layer in intranets and residential
areas, or in the enterprise networks to connect PCs
at 1 Gbit/s.
The S5300 is box-type with a height of 1 U. The S5300
provides the E1 version, which includes S5328C-EI, S5328C-EI-24S,
and S5352C-EI.

The S5328C-EI provides twenty-four 10/100/1000BASE-T
interfaces, two 10GE XFP interfaces or four 1000BASE-X
SFP uplink interfaces, and double pluggable power modules.
The S5352C-EI provides forty-eight 10/100/1000BASE-T
interfaces, two 10GE XFP interfaces or four 1000BASE-X
SFP uplink interfaces, and double pluggable power modules.
The S5328C-EI-24S provides twenty-four 100/1000BASE-X
SFP interfaces, four 10/100/1000BASE-T combo interfaces,
two 10GE XFP interfaces or four 1000BASE-X SFP uplink
interfaces, and double pluggable power modules.
Features of the S5300
High bandwidth and performance
The S5300 supports up to 28/52 GE interfaces, or two
10GE interfaces, which meet the requirements of users
for high-density GE and 10GE upstream devices. The S5300
provides hardware that can forward Layer 2 and Layer
3 data packets at line speed. The S5300 can process
services at Layer 4 to Layer 7 in a different manner.
Strong multi-service access capability
The S5300 supports selective QinQ, which does not occupy
ACL resources. The S5300 can map the CoS value of the
inner VLAN tag to that of the outer VLAN tag, or change
the CoS value of the outer VLAN tag. The S5300 can also
flexibly mark QoS classes to bear multiple services.
The S5300 supports controllable multicast, IGMP snooping,
IGMP filter, IGMP fast leave, and IGMP proxy. The S5300
also supports multicast across VLANs, multicast load
balancing implemented through port aggregation, and
VLAN-based multicast CAC to fulfill IPTV services.
The S5300 supports MCE to isolate VPN users of the
same device. This guarantees data security and decreases
the investment of users.
Carrier-class Ethernet technologies and reliability
The S5300 supports STP, RSTP, MSTP, and enhanced carrier-class
Ethernet technologies such as Smart Link and RRPP. This
ensures protection switching in milliseconds and guarantees
high reliability of networks. In addition, the S5300
supports Smart Link and RRPP multi-instance to carry
out load balancing on links. This increases the bandwidth
utilization.
The S5300 features strong expansibility and compatibility,
which allow the S5300 to set up various networking with
existing network devices. This saves investment of users
and ensures the deployment of new services.
The S5300 supports fast detection of link faults through
BFD, which provides a detection mechanism for OSPF,
IS-IS, VRRP, and PIM in milliseconds.
The S5300 provides double power modules. You can use
only one power module or double power modules as required,
which increase the reliability of the device.
Perfect QoS policies and security mechanism
The S5300 supports complex traffic classification based
on the quintuple (protocol type, source IP address,
TCP/UDP source port number, destination IP address,
and TCP/UDP destination port number), IP precedence,
ToS, DSCP value, IP protocol type, ICMP protocol type,
TCP source port number, VLAN, protocol encapsulated
in Ethernet frames, and CoS. The S5300 supports Two
Rate Three Color CAR for flows. Each port supports eight
priority queues, and various scheduling algorithms including
WRR, DRR, SP, WRR+SP, and DRR+SP. This ensures quality
of voice, data, and data services.
The S5300 provides various functions to ensure the
security of users and protect the network. The functions
include large amount of ACL rules, bundling of the IP
address, MAC address, or port, black hole MAC addresses,
port isolation, packet filtering, limit to the number
of MAC addresses that can be leant by an interface,
detection through dynamic ARP entries, IP source guard,
RADIUS, HWTACACS+ authentication, IEEE 802.1x authentication,
and SSH.
Perfect maintenance and management
With various Ethernet OAM features (defined in IEEE
802.3ah and IEEE 802.1ag) and multiple modes of network
maintenance and management, the S5300 is easy to use
and deploy. The S5300 supports HGMP, SNMP, NTP, SSHv2,
TACACS+, RMON, multiple log hosts, statistics about
traffic on ports, and configuration management. The
S5300 provides perfect operation and maintenance functions,
which allow carriers to manage networks in an easy manner.
This decreases OPEX.
