As shown in Figure 1, S6700 switches are deployed at the aggregation layer of a large-scale enterprise campus network, creating a highly reliable, scalable, and manageable enterprise campus network.
In an enterprise network or campus network, S6700 switches connect to access switches through 100M/1000M interfaces to provide high-performance switching and connect to core switches through 10GE optical interfaces. The network provides a 10G backbone layer and 100M-to-the-desktop capability, meeting requirements for high bandwidth and multi-service operation.
The S6700 switches support SEP and RRPP to implement millisecond-level protection switching. Multiple S6700 switches set up a stack using iStack technology to provide a distributed forwarding structure and fast fault recovery. The stack increases the number of user interfaces and improves packet processing capability. The stack member switches can be managed as one device to facilitate network management and maintenance.
