Overview
H3C S6530X series switches provide industry-leading high performance and scalable aggregation switching solution developed by H3C using ASIC technology with modular dual power, fixed uplinks (40GE/100GE) and IRF for resiliency. The series offers OSPF/BGP and multicast, SDN enabled and flexible management.
The S6530X series switches include the following models:
- S6530X-24Y8C:24*25GE SFP28 Ports, 8*40GE/100GE QSFP28 Ports, 5*fan tray slots, and 2*power module slots.
- S6530X-48Y8C:48*25GE SFP28 Ports, 8*40GE/100GE QSFP28 Ports, 5*fan tray slots, and 2*power module slots.
High-density 25GE forwarding
The switch offers high-density 25GE forwarding. It provides powerful hardware forwarding capacity and abundant campus features. It provides up to 48/24*1GE/10GE/25GE autosensing SFP28 ports and 8*100G ports. The switch supports modular power modules and fan trays. By using different fan trays, the switch can provide field changeable airflows.
Embedded access controller
H3C S6530X series switches implement the WLAN function by installing an AC feature pack on the main control unit, thereby implementing both the wired function and the WLAN function on a single device. Embedded AC is a low-cost WLAN solution, save overall investment, improve forwarding capacity, realized a true unified wired and wireless solution in Campus. Max 2K AP supported on one single switches.
H3C intelligent resilient framework 2 (IRF2)
H3C Intelligent Resilient Framework 2 (IRF 2) virtualizes multiple S6530X switches into one virtual switch and provides the following benefits:
Scalability
IRF 2 allows you to add devices to the IRF 2 system easily. It provides a single point of management, enables switch plug-and-play, and supports software auto-update for software synchronization from the master to the new member devices. It brings business agility with lower total cost of ownership by allowing new switches to be added to the fabric without network topology change as business grows.
High availability
The H3C proprietary routing hot backup technology ensures redundancy and backup of all information on the control and data planes and non-stop Layer 3 data forwarding in an IRF 2 fabric. It also eliminates single point of failure and ensures service continuity.
Redundancy and load balancing
The distributed link aggregation technology supports load sharing and mutual backup among multiple uplinks, which enhances the network redundancy and improves link resources usage.
Flexibility and resiliency
The switch uses standard GE ports instead of specialized ports for IRF links between IRF member devices. This allows customers to assign bandwidth as needed between uplink, downlink, and IRF system connections. In addition, an S6530X IRF fabric can span a rack, multiple racks, or multiple campuses.
