Data Center
The S6700 switches can be deployed at the access layer build a virtualized, highly reliable, non-blocking, and energy conservative data center network.
In a data center network shown in Figure 1, NE routers act as the egress routers. S12700 switches work at the core and aggregation layers to ensure network security and implement load balancing using firewall and load balance modules.
The S6700 switches are deployed at the access layer to provide 10 Gbit/s access. They set up stacks to ensure high reliability. When a stack member switch fails, the other switch in the stack takes over services. Eth-Trunk is used to achieve link-level reliability, without a need for STP or VRRP, thereby simplifying configuration and maintenance, and reducing configuration errors.
