need to purchase new devices.

Traditional Switch Agile Switch

The ENP is used to forward packets.

New functions can be implemented

rapidly through software upgrade or

user-defined through Protocol Oblivious

Forwarding (POF).

Hardware-defined: Key functions cannot easily be

expanded.

Customer Benefits

• Eliminates the centralized forwarding performance

bottleneck of traditional independent ACs.

Native AC on Agile Switches

Customer Challenges

• Poor performance: Network traffic is bypassed, and the

integrated AC becomes the forwarding performance bottleneck.

• High costs: Costs of high-performance ACs are uncontrollable.

• Complex management: Separated management of wired and

wireless users/terminals is inefficient.

Typical Campus Network

• Tree architecture

• Horizontal virtualization

using CSS technology at

the core/aggregation layer

• AC connects to the

core/aggregation switch in

bypass mode

• Massive access switches

Converged Campus Network

• Cloud architecture featuring on-

demand scalability

• The entire campus network is

virtualized into 1 device.

• Access switches are virtualized

into the switch's cards.

• Wireless ports are virtualized

into the switch's ports.

1. Simplified management: The entire network is virtualized into one device. Only one

management Network Element (NE) is required. Access switches and wireless APs are

plug-and-play.

2. Centralized management and control: The core device is directly in charge of Access

Control List (ACL), Quality of Service (QoS), and user security management and control.

3. Lowered CAPEX: Low-specifications box switches can be used as access switches, which

lowers the CAPEX for network devices.

Super Virtual Fabric (SVF): One Network = One Device

Provides the easiest wired and wireless network management solution.

High-Efficient O&M: Network Virtualization and Elastic Scalability

A cluster can run stably as long as one MPU in any chassis in the

cluster is working normally.

Easy management: Multiple devices are virtualized into one.

High reliability: Huawei offers the industry's only switch fabric hardware cluster,

which supports innovative 1+N backup of MPUs in a cluster. A cluster can run

stably as long as one MPU in any chassis in the cluster is working normally.

High bandwidth and low latency: 4 μs ultra-low inter-chassis latency and up to

1.92 Tbit/s cluster bandwidth ensure non-blocking forwarding.

Customer Benefits
