Features and Highlights

Switch Highlights

Fully-programmable Architecture
 The S12700E uses a fully-programmable architecture that adapts to the changing forwarding processes driven by protocol
evolution and technology advances. It enables fast and flexible provisioning of new services simply by upgrading software,
without having to replace hardware, thereby protecting customers’ investment. In contrast, traditional ASIC chips use a fixed
forwarding architecture and follow a fixed forwarding process; as a result, new services cannot be provisioned until new
hardware is developed to support the services, which may take 1 to 3 years.

Wired and Wireless Convergence

 The S12700E series' native AC capabilities allow enterprises to build a wireless network without additional AC hardware.
Each S12700E switch can manage up to 10K APs and 65, 536 users. 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 S12700E 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.

CloudEngine S12700E Series Switches 2

Provide Agile Fine Granular Management
 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 S12700E 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 simplest network management solution.
 The S12700E 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.

System Openness Capability

 The Netconf/YANG is supported. Users can configure the Netconf/YANG automatically.
 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.

Secure and Trusted System

 The digital signature of the code identifies the software source and the real identity of the software developer to ensure that
the code is not tampered with after being signed. Huawei switches use the memory signature and outer signature mechanisms
to ensure that the software is not tampered with.
 Supports secure boot based on the hardware trust root. Starting from the trusted hardware anchor, the software code is
checked level by level to ensure that the main control board, line card, and switch of the switch are not intruded from the startup
phase.
 The chip provides the secure random number generation module (Random Number Generater) certified by NIST SP 800-
90A and NIST SP 800-90B to provide a real secure random number source for system running to ensure secure and reliable
encryption.

Network Reliability
 The S12700E supports link detection technologies such as hardware Eth-OAM and BFD, and standard/compatible link
switching technologies such as G.8032 and intelligent Ethernet protection protocol SEP. It provides end-to-end 50 ms hardware-
level switchover to build the most responsive and reliable campus network. The S12700E supports the fast self-healing
protection technology HSR (High-speed Self Recovery), which exclusively implements the end-to-end IP MPLS bearer network
50 ms switching protection, further improving network reliability.

Easy Operation
 The Easy Operation can implement plug-and-play for newly deployed devices on the network and manage all devices
running on the network in a unified manner. The functions are as follows: The network device Zero-Touch is deployed, and the
startup files such as version files, configuration files, and patches are automatically loaded. Upgrade network devices in batches
and deliver configurations in batches. New devices can be quickly replaced. Plug-and-play is not required for new devices.

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.

Solution Benifits

Simplified Management
 Automatic deployment: VXLAN and BGP-EVPN are supported. The unified virtual switching network (UVF) is constructed
to support automatic deployment of up to 512 virtual networks. Multiple service networks or tenant networks can be deployed on
the same physical network, and service and tenant networks are isolated from each other, in this way, one network can be used
for multiple purposes.

CloudEngine S12700E Series Switches 3

 Service automation: Supports user-based and policy-based group configuration mode 100,000 free mobility.

Intelligent O&M
 The CloudEngine S12700E provides telemetry technology to collect device data in real time and send the data to Huawei
campus network analyzer CampusInsight. The CampusInsight analyzes network data based on the intelligent fault identification
algorithm, accurately displays the real-time network status, effectively demarcates and locates faults in a timely manner, and
identifies network problems that affect user experience, accurately guaranteeing user experience.
 The CloudEngine S12700E supports a variety of intelligent O&M features for audio and video services, including the
enhanced Media Delivery Index (eMDI). With this eDMI function, the switch can function as a monitored node to periodically
conduct statistics and report audio and video service indicators to the CampusInsight platform. In this way, the CampusInsight
platform can quickly demarcate audio and video service quality faults based on the results of multiple monitored nodes.

Big Data Security Collaboration

 Huawei CloudEngine S12700E switches use NetStream to collect campus network data and then report such data to the
Huawei Cybersecurity Intelligence System(CIS). 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 CIS delivers the
security policies to the Agile Controller. The Agile Controller then delivers such policies to switches that will handle security
events accordingly. All these ensure campus network security.
 Huawei CloudEngine S12700E supports Encrypted Communication Analytics(ECA). It uses built-in ECA probes to extract
characteristics of encrypted streams based on NetStream sampling and Service Awareness(SA), generates metadata, and
reports the metadata to Huawei Cybersecurity Intelligence System(CIS). The CIS uses the AI algorithm to train the traffic model
and compare characteristics of extracted encrypted traffic to identify malicious traffic. The CIS displays detection results on the
GUI, provides threat handling suggestions, and automatically isolates threats with the Agile Controller to ensure campus
network security.
 Huawei CloudEngine S12700E supports deception. It functions as a sensor to detect threats such as IP address scanning
and port scanning on a network and lures threat traffic to the honeypot for further checks. The honeypot performs in-depth
interaction with the initiator of the threat traffic, records various application-layer attack methods of the initiator, and reports
security logs to the CIS. The CIS analyzes security logs. If the CIS determines that the suspicious traffic is an attack, it
generates an alarm and provides handling suggestions. After the administrator confirms the alarm, the CIS delivers a policy to
the Agile Controller. The Agile Controller delivers the policy to the switch for security event processing, ensuring campus
network security.

Licensing
Huawei CloudEngine S12700E supports the traditional license authorization mode based on features and the Huawei IDN one
software (N1 mode for short) authorization mode. The N1 mode is oriented to the CloudCampus network solution deployed in

Power Supply

Power Supply Backup Modes

Huawei CloudEngine S12700E power modules support the backup mode. Three power module configuration modes are
recommended: N+N backup, N + 1 backup, and N+0 no backup. The value of N is determined by the maximum power required
by the system. N* Maximum output power of each power module > Maximum power required by the system. The system can
automatically identify the backup mode without manual configuration.

For example, the maximum power required by the system is 4000W. If two 2200W power modules are installed, the backup
mode is 2+0 without backup. If three 2200W power modules are installed, the backup mode is 2 + 1 backup. If four 2200W
power modules are installed, the backup mode is 2 + 2 backup.
