What Constraints on USB-based deployment of Huawei S5700 Switch

The file system format of the USB flash drive must be FAT32, and standard for the USB interface is USB2.0 (USB1.1 interface on the S5700LI). To ensure compatibility between USB flash drives and devices, use Huawei-certified USB flash drives to configure the Huawei devices. Table 2 lists the USB flash drives applicable to a switch.

Only one USB flash drive can be connected to a device.

In V200R005C00 and later versions, USB-based deployment using a smart_config.ini index file is supported, and this deployment mode is supported in a stack. The USB flash drive must be connected to the master switch of the stack. If it is connected to the standby switch or a slave switch, the USB-based deployment process will not start.

USB-based deployment using the usbload_config.txt index file can only be performed in a single switch, not a stack of multiple switches. In a stack of multiple switches, if the USB flash drive is connected to the standby switch or a slave switch, the USB-based deployment process will not start. If the USB flash drive is connected to the master switch, the USB indicator blinks red fast, indicating that the USB-based deployment fails. In this case, the switch records an error report including the following information: The usbload_config.txt index file cannot be used for USB deployment of a multi-member stack.

The S5710-X-LI, S5720SI, S5720S-SI, S6720EI, S6720S-EI, S5720EI and S5720HI series switches support only the smart_config.ini format.

The S5700S-28X-LI-AC, S5700S-52X-LI-AC, and S5700S-28P-PWR-LI-AC in the S5700S-LI series support only the smart_config.ini format.

Fields in an index file are restricted by the current system version. For example, if some fields in the index file are not supported by the current system version, these fields are invalid for an upgrade to a later version.

USB-based deployment is mutually exclusive with the SVF, web initial login mode and EasyDeploy functions.

What’s the Feature Dependencies and Limitations When Link Aggregation of Huawei Switch (2)

Configuration Notes After an Eth-Trunk Is Configured

An Ethernet interface can be added to only one Eth-Trunk. To add an Ethernet interface to another Eth-Trunk, delete it from the original one first.

After an interface is added to an Eth-Trunk, only the Eth-Trunk learns MAC address entries or ARP entries, but the member interface does not.

Before deleting an Eth-Trunk, delete member interfaces from the Eth-Trunk.

Specifications

Link aggregation mode:

Manual

LACP

Link aggregation modes supported by the device

Intra-device: Member interfaces of an Eth-Trunk are located on the same device.

Inter-stack-device: Member interfaces of an Eth-Trunk are located on member devices of a stack. For details, see Link Aggregation in Stack Scenarios.

Inter-device: The inter-device link aggregation refers to E-Trunk. E-Trunk allows links between multiple devices to be aggregated based on LACP. For details, see E-Trunk.

Load balancing modes supported by the device

To prevent data packet mis-sequencing, an Eth-Trunk uses flow-based load balancing.

You can use the following load balancing modes based on actual networking:

Based on source MAC addresses of packets

Based on destination MAC addresses of packets

Based on source IP addresses of packets

Based on destination IP addresses of packets

Based on the Exclusive-Or result of source and destination MAC addresses of packets

Based on the Exclusive-Or result of source and destination IP addresses of packets

Enhanced load balancing: based on VLAN IDs and source physical interface numbers for Layer 2, IPv4, IPv6, and MPLS packets

Application in Public Cloud

Agile Cloud Network is a suite of network solution based on Huawei public cloud. The Huawei S5720-SI / S5720S-SI (since V200R010C00) and Huawei S5720 LI (since V200R011C00) can be located at the access layer of the agile cloud network as a cloud box, as shown in Figure 2-4.

The cloud box is plug-and-play. It goes online after being powered on and connected with a network cable, without complicated configurations. A cloud box can connect to the cloud management platform and bidirectional certificate authentication is used to ensure management channel security. The cloud box provides the Netconf&YANG interface for the cloud management platform to deliver configurations remotely. In addition, remote maintenance and fault diagnosis can be performed on the cloud box through the cloud management platform.

How to manage Ethernet Interface of Huawei Switch

Huawei Switches providing MultiGE interfaces can connect to the following devices: 

On the S5700SI, S5700EI, and S5700HI in V200R003 or V200R005, a GE interface can go Up after it has a GE copper module installed. However, you cannot run corresponding commands to configure the rate, duplex mode, auto-negotiation, MDI, flow control, and virtual cable test on the interface. The 10GE interfaces on the S5700EI do not support GE copper modules.

Only MEth0/0/1 on the S5720HI, S5720EI, S6700EI, S6720EI, and S6720S-EI supports the duplex mode configuration.

On the Huawei S5720S-28P-SI-AC, Huawei S5720S-52P-SI-AC, Huawei S5720-28P-SI-AC, and Huawei S5720-52P-SI-AC, the last four GE interfaces cannot have FE optical modules installed and do not support the rate auto-negotiation configuration.

For switches in V200R003C00 and earlier versions, only Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces on the S5700HI, S5710EI, and S5710HI can be configured as Layer 3 interfaces. For switches in V200R005C00 and later versions, only Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces on the S5700HI, S5710EI, S5710HI, S5700EI, S6700EI, S5720EI, S5720HI, S6720EI, and S6720S-EI can be configured as Layer 3 interfaces.

All switches providing GE electrical interfaces

AP: AP7050DN-E (with 2.5G uplink interfaces) running V200R007C00

Pico: BTS3911B running V100R010C10SPC092T

Only the S1720 and S5700-X-LI support the IFG configuration.

Only the XGE optical interfaces that have XGE optical modules installed support single-fiber communication without requiring licenses. S5720HI does not support single-fiber communication.

Application of the Huawei S6700 Switch on a Large-scale Enterprise Campus Network

This section describes the application of the Huawei S6700 Switch on a large-scale enterprise campus network.

As shown in the below picture, the Huawei S6700 Switch is deployed at the aggregation layer of a large-scale enterprise campus network, helping you built a highly reliable, scalable, and manageable enterprise campus network.

On an enterprise network or campus network, the S6700s connect to access switches through 100M/1000M interfaces, provide high performance and large switching capacity, and connect to core switches through 10GE optical interfaces. The network provides 10 Gbit/s rate for the backbone layer and 100 Mbit/s access rate for terminals, meeting requirements for high bandwidth and multi-service.

The Huawei S6700 Switch provides SEP and RRPP to implement millisecond-level protection switching. S6700s form a stack system by using iStack technology to implement the distributed forwarding structure and fast fault recovery. The stack system increases the number of user interfaces and improves packet processing capability. The iStack-enabled S6700s can be managed in a uniform manner to facilitate network management and maintenance.
