Other fan modules are not affected when you install or remove a fan module.
Intelligent fan speed The S12708 and S12712 series switches provide intelligent fan speed adjustment based on
adjustment temperature in each zone, and correlate speeds of fans in the entire chassis. The system
monitors the temperature of key components, and adjusts the fan speed based on temperature
changes. This intelligent fan speed adjustment function ensures that the system stays within the
proper operating temperature range, and reduces power consumption and noise.

Power Supply
The S12704 provide slots PWR1 to PWR4 for power modules. The S12708 and S12712 provides slots PWR1 to PWR6 for
power modules.
AC and DC power modules cannot be used in the same chassis.
The S12700 series switches support three redundancy modes of power modules: N+N, N+1, and N+0. The value of N depends
on the maximum power actually required by the system. Ensure that the total maximum output power of N power modules (N x
maximum output power of each power module) is larger than the maximum power actually required by the system.
For example, the maximum power required by the system is 4000 W. If two 2200 W power modules are installed in the chassis,
they work in 2+0 mode. If three 2200 W power modules are installed, they work in 2+1 redundancy mode. If four 2200 W power
modules are installed, they work in 2+2 redundancy mode. The system can identify the power redundancy mode, and you do
not need to manually configure the power redundancy mode.

Product Highlights
Make Your Network Agile and Service-Oriented
The S12700's flexible packet processing and traffic control capabilities can meet current and future service requirements,
helping build a highly scalable network.
In addition to providing all the capabilities of common switches, the S12700 series provides fully programmable open interfaces
and supports programmable forwarding behaviors. Enterprises can use the open interfaces to develop new protocols and
functions independently, or jointly with other vendors, to build campus networks that meet their needs.
The ENP chip uses a fully programmable architecture, on which enterprises can define their own forwarding models, forwarding
behaviors, and lookup algorithms. This architecture speeds service innovation and enables the provisioning of a customized
service within six months, without replacing hardware. In contrast, traditional Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chips

use a fixed forwarding architecture and follow a fixed forwarding process. For this reason, new services cannot be provisioned
until new hardware is developed to support the services, which can take one to three years.
Deliver Abundant Services Agilely

The S12700 series' native AC capabilities allow enterprises to build a wireless network without additional AC hardware. Each
S12700 switch can manage up to 10K APs. It is a core switch that provides up to 4 Tbit/s AC capabilities, avoiding the
performance bottleneck on independent AC devices. The native AC capabilities help organizations better cope with challenges
in the high-speed wireless era.
The S12700 series' unified user management function authenticates both wired and wireless users, ensuring a consistent user
experience no matter whether they are connected to the network through wired or wireless access devices. The unified user
management function supports various authentication methods, including 802.1x, MAC address, and Portal authentication, and
is capable of managing users based on user groups, domains, and time ranges. These functions control user and service
management and enable the transformation from device-centered management to user-centered management.
The S12700 series' Service Chain function can virtualize value-added service capabilities, such as next-generation firewall.
Then these capabilities can be used by campus network entities (such as switches, routers, AC, AP, and terminals), regardless
of their physical locations. Service Chain provides a more flexible value-added service deployment solution, which reduces
equipment investment and maintenance costs.
The S12700 series supports IEEE 1588v2 and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), meeting the high-precision synchronization
requirements of network systems.
Provide Agile Fine Granular Management

Open Intelligent Diagnosis System (OIDS) integrates the device health monitoring and fault diagnosis functions – that are
typically deployed on a Network Management System (NMS) – into the switch software to implement intelligent diagnosis on a
single switch. After OIDS is deployed on a switch, the switch periodically collects and records the running information and
automatically determines whether a fault occurs. If a fault occurs, the switch automatically locates the fault or helps locate the
fault. All these merits increase fault locating efficiency of O&M staff while improving device maintainability.
Packet Conservation Algorithm for Internet (iPCA) changes the traditional method that uses simulated traffic for fault location.
iPCA technology monitors network quality for any service flow at any network node, at any time, and without extra costs. It can
detect temporary service interruptions within one second and can identify faulty ports accurately. This cutting-edge fault
detection technology turns "extensive management" into "fine granular management."
Super Virtual Fabric 2.0 (SVF 2.0) technology can not only virtualize fixed-configuration switches into S12700 switch line cards
but also virtualize APs as switch ports. With this virtualization technology, a physical network with core/aggregation switches,
access switches, and APs can be virtualized into a "super switch", offering the innovative network management solution.
The S12700 series manages access switches in a similar way an AC manages APs, saving the trouble of laborious
configuration on access switches. It manages access switches and APs uniformly through CAPWAP tunnels, allowing access
switches and APs to connect to the network with zero configuration.
Industry-leading Line cards

Using Huawei’s advanced ENP chips, the S12700 series supports several million hardware entries, leaving traditional switches
far behind. The S12700 series provides 1M MAC address entries and 3M Forwarding Information Base (FIB) entries, meeting
requirements of route-intensive scenarios, such as the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) for a television broadcasting or
education network. Providing 1M NetStream entries enables fine granular traffic statistics for college campus networks and
large-scale enterprise campus networks.
The S12700 series provides large buffer on line card to prevent packet loss upon traffic bursts, delivering high-quality video
services.
The S12700 series supports high-density cards, such as 48 x 10 GE, 16 x 40GE and 8 x 100GE cards. Each S12700 chassis
can provide a maximum of 576 x 10 GE ports, 192 x 40G ports and 96 x 100GE ports. This large port capacity fully meets the
requirements of bandwidth-consuming applications, such as multimedia video conferencing, protecting customer investments.

Device-Level Reliability: CSS2 Switch Fabric Hardware Clustering Technology
Based on back-to-back clustering technology, widely used on high-end core routers, the S12700 series employs second-
generation switching fabric hardware clustering technology, CSS2, an enhancement to CSS switching fabric clustering
technology.
CSS2 technology connects cluster member switches through switch fabric unit hardware channels; therefore, cluster control and
data packets need only be forwarded once by the switch fabric units and do not go through service cards. Compared with
traditional service port clustering technologies, CSS2 minimizes the impact of software failures, reduces service interruption
risks caused by service cards, and also significantly shortens transmission latency.
CSS2 supports 1+N backup of MPUs. This means a cluster can run stably as long as one MPU of any chassis in the cluster is
working normally. In a cluster connected by service ports, each chassis must have at least one MPU working normally; therefore,
CSS2 is more reliable than traditional service port clustering technologies.
Network-Level Reliability: End-to-End Hardware Protection Switching

The S12700 uses a series of link detection and protection switching technologies, such as hardware Eth-OAM, BFD, G.8032,
and Smart Ethernet Protection (SEP), to realize end-to-end protection switching. These technologies help build a campus
network that responds quickly to topology changes and provides the most reliable services.
The S12700 supports High-speed Self Recovery (HSR) technology. Using Huawei's ENP cards, the S12700 implements end-to-
end IP MPLS bearer network protection switchover within 50 ms, improving network reliability.
Comprehensive Security Measures

The S12700 supports MAC security (MACSec) that enables hop-by-hop secure data transmission. Therefore, the S12700 can
be applied to scenarios that pose high requirements on data confidentiality, such as government and finance sectors.
NGFW is a next-generation firewall card that can be installed on an S12700. In addition to the traditional defense functions such
as firewall, identity authentication, and Anti-DDoS, the NGFW supports IPS, anti-spam, web security, and application control
functions.
The S12700 provides innovative next-generation environment awareness and access control. It identifies the application-layer
attacks and protects network-layer applications based on application type, content, time, user, threaten, and location.
The dedicated software and hardware platforms provide an Intelligent Aware Engine (IAE) to perceive application information
when all security functions are enabled. The built-in hardware accelerator for content detection improves application-layer
protection efficiency and ensures the 10G+ performance when all security functions are enabled.
VXLAN
VXLAN is used to construct a Unified Virtual Fabric (UVF). As such, multiple service networks or tenant networks can be
deployed on the same physical network, and service and tenant networks are isolated from each other. This capability truly
achieves 'one network for multiple purposes'. The resulting benefits include enabling data transmission of different services or
customers, reducing the network construction costs, and improving network resource utilization. The S12700 series switches
are VXLAN-capable and allow centralized and distributed VXLAN gateway deployment modes. These switches also support the
BGP EVPN protocol for dynamically establishing VXLAN tunnels and can be configured using NETCONF/YANG.
High-Performance VRP Software System

 Huawei S series switches build on a unified Versatile Routing Platform (VRP) software system, meeting the growing
network scale and the evolving Internet technologies and guaranteeing network services and network quality.
 VRP is a network operating system developed by Huawei with independent intellectual property rights. It can run on
multiple hardware platforms and provide unified network, user, and management views. VRP provides flexible application
solutions for users. In addition, VRP is a future-proof platform that maximally protects customer investments.
 The VRP platform is focused on IP services and uses a component-based architecture to provide more than 300 features.
Besides, VRP stands out for its application-based tailorable and scalable capabilities.
OPS
Open Programmability System (OPS) is an open programmable system based on the Python language. IT administrators can
program the O&M functions of a switch through Python scripts to quickly innovate functions and implement intelligent O&M.

Big Data Security Collaboration
The S12700 uses NetStream to collect campus network data and then report such data to the Huawei HiSec Insight. The
purposes of doing so are to detect network security threats, display the security posture across the entire network, and enable
automated or manual response to security threats. The HiSec Insight delivers the security policies to the iMaster NCE-
Campus(or Agile Controller). The iMaster NCE-Campus(or Agile Controller) then delivers such policies to switches that will
handle security events accordingly. All these ensure campus network security.
Intelligent Diagnosis
Open Intelligent Diagnosis System (OIDS) integrates the device health monitoring and fault diagnosis functions – that are
typically deployed on a Network Management System (NMS) – into the switch software to implement intelligent diagnosis on a
single switch. After OIDS is deployed on a switch, the switch periodically collects and records the running information and
automatically determines whether a fault occurs. If a fault occurs, the switch automatically locates the fault or helps locate the
fault. All these merits increase fault locating efficiency of O&M staff while improving device maintainability.
Licensing
The S12700 supports both the traditional feature-based licensing mode and the latest Huawei IDN One Software (N1 mode for
short) licensing mode. The N1 mode is ideal for campus network deployments in enterprise private cloud mode, and greatly
enhances the customer experiences in purchasing and upgrading software services with simplicity.

Networking and Applications

In an enterprise campus network
S12700 series switches are deployed on the core layer of an enterprise campus network. Native ACs provided by the S12700
enable customers to build wireless networks without additional AC hardware, reducing network construction costs. It is a core
switch that provides 4 Tbit/s AC capabilities, avoiding the performance bottleneck on independent ACs. The native AC
capabilities help customers migrate their wireless networks to 802.11ac or 802.11ax. The S12700 series realizes wired and

wireless convergence and delivers consistent experience to wired and wireless users through uniform device, user, and service
management.
In a college campus network

S12700 series switches are deployed on the core layer of a college campus network. The unified user management function on
the S12700 reduces network construction costs by removing the need to purchase new BRAS hardware. Each S12700 switch
supports up to 65, 536 users, allowing a large number of concurrent access users. Its H-QoS feature implements fine granular
user and service management. The S12700 series realizes wired and wireless convergence and delivers consistent experience
to wired and wireless users through uniform device, user, and service management.
In a bearer network for video conferencing, desktop cloud, and video surveillance
applications
The Large buffer prevents packet loss upon traffic bursts, delivering high-quality video streams. The S12700 series supports up
to 1M MAC address entries and 3M FIB entries, which allow access from a large number of terminals and help evolution to IPv6
and the Internet of Things (IoT). Employing end-to-end hardware reliability technologies and iPCA technology, the S12700
series offers a highly reliable, high-quality, scalable video conferencing and surveillance solution.
On the core/aggregation layer of a MAN

S12700 series switches are used as core or aggregation switches on the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) of a television
broadcasting or education network. The 3M FIB entries provided are sufficient for large-scale routing on the MAN. CSS2 switch
fabric hardware clustering technology, originating from clustering technology for high-end core routers, delivers carrier-class
reliability on the MAN. Additionally, the S12700 series supports comprehensive L2/L3 MPLS VPN features, providing a highly
reliable, secure, and scalable metropolitan bearer network solution.
In an enterprise data center

S12700 series switches are deployed on the core or aggregation layer of an enterprise data center network. The S12700 series
has high-density line cards, such as 48 x 10 GE, 16 x 40GE and 8 x 100GE cards, meeting the requirements for large data
throughput on data center core/aggregation nodes. Using CSS2 switch fabric hardware clustering technology, the S12700 series
provides up to 1.92 Tbit/s cluster bandwidth and shortens the inter-chassis forwarding latency to 4 μs. This technology helps
customers build a high performance, high reliability, and low latency data center network.
