Applicable modules and cables:
NOTE:

The four 10GE SFP+ ports on the front panel cannot be used simultaneously with ports on the rear card (except the 4-port 10GE rear card).

If a rear card other than a 4-port 10GE rear card is installed in the switch, only the ports on the front panel can be used by default.
  • V200R011 version: To use the port on the rear card, run the set device port-on-card enable command. Then the four 10GE SFP+ ports on the front panel cannot be used.
  • V200R012 and later versions: To use the port on the rear card, run the undo set device port-config-mode port-on-board enable command. Then the four 10GE SFP+ ports on the front panel cannot be used.

Port Description

100M/1000M/2.5GE/5GE/10GE BASE-T port (MultiGE port)

A 100M/1000M/2.5GE/5GE/10GE BASE-T port (MultiGE port) sends and receives service data at 100 Mbit/s, 1 Gbit/s, 2.5 Gbit/s, 5 Gbit/s, or 10 Gbit/s, and must use an Ethernet cable. If the 2.5 Gbit/s, 5 Gbit/s, or 10 Gbit/s speed is required, the port must use an Ethernet cable of Cat5e or higher category. Table 2 describes the attributes of a 100M/1000M/2.5GE/5GE/10GE BASE-T port.

6-a-1 stands for the six-around-one cable bundle mode, with one cable in the center and six cables bundled evenly around it.

Some cables pose high risks and are not recommended for the following reasons:
  • 802.3bz requires that the ALSNR value for alien crosstalk between Ethernet cables be greater than 0, but the standards for Cat5e and Cat6 unshielded twisted pairs do not specify the required ALSNR value. Therefore, such cables may not meet the crosstalk requirement in 802.3bz, causing severe problems such as continuous packet loss.
  • According the cabling specification TIA TSB-5021, using Cat5e and Cat6 cables for 5G poses high risks.
  • Currently, no clear onsite testing or evaluation method is available for checking whether ALSNR of cables conforms to 802.3bz.

If Cat5e and Cat6 unshielded twisted pairs do not meet the 5G requirement, you are advised to replace them with shielded twisted pairs or reduce the rate of interfaces to 2.5G.

10GE SFP+ port

A 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical port supports auto-sensing to 1000 Mbit/s. It sends and receives service data at 1000 Mbit/s or 10 Gbit/s. Table 4 describes the attributes of a 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical port.

Console port

The console port is connected to a console for on-site configuration. The port must use a console cable. The console port is used when a switch is powered on for the first time. For details about the attributes of a console port, see Table 5.

ETH management port

You can connect a switch to a configuration terminal or network management workstation through the ETH management port to configure the switch locally or remotely. The port must use an Ethernet cable. You can choose to download the software package through the ETH management port in the BootLoad menu. File transfer through the ETH management port is faster than transfer through the console port. Table 6 describes the attributes of an ETH management port.

In V200R012C00 and later versions, you can log in to the switch that contains the ETH management port for the first time through the ETH port. For details, see "First Login to a Switch" in the Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration. If you have logged in to the device for the first time by pressing and holding the MODE button for 6 seconds or longer and saved the configuration, the default configuration on the ETH port will be cleared. In this case, you cannot log in to the switch for the first time through the ETH port. You are advised to log in to the switch for the first time through the ETH port.

USB port

The USB port can have a USB flash drive connected to upgrade the switch, or transfer configuration files or other files. The USB port can only connect to a USB flash drive that complies with USB 2.0.

USB flash drives from different vendors differ in model compatibility and drivers. If a USB flash drive cannot be used, try to replace it with another one from a mainstream vendor. Switches support a maximum of 128 GB USB flash drives.

Indicator Description

The S6720-32C-SI-DC has similar indicators to those of the S6720-32C-PWH-SI-AC, except that the S6720-32C-SI-DC does not have a PoE indicator. For details, see Indicator Description.

Power Supply Configuration

The S6720-32C-SI-DC uses pluggable power modules. It can be configured with a single power module or double power modules for 1+1 power redundancy. Pluggable AC and DC power modules can be used together in the same switch.

Figure 2 shows the power supply connections of dual DC power modules. After DC power is transmitted to the PWR module, the PWR module provides 12 V output voltage, and the motherboard provides power for the entire device.

Heat Dissipation

The S6720-32C-SI-DC uses a pluggable fan module for forced air cooling. Air flows in from the left, right, and front sides, and exhausts from the rear panel.

This figure only shows the airflow direction and does not depict the actual device.
