Huawei S5700-SI Series Switches

Product overview

The S5700-SI series are gigabit Layer 3 Ethernet switches based on new generation of high-performance hardware and Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP). It provides a large switching capacity, high-density GE interfaces, and 10 GE uplink interfaces. With extensive service features and IPv6 forwarding capabilities, the S5700-SI is applicable to various scenarios. For example,…

How configure IP Multicast of Huawei Switch

Involved Network Elements

An IPv6 multicast network consists of the following network elements:

Multicast source: sends multicast data to receiver hosts. For example, a video server is a multicast source.

Device running IPv6 Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM): uses the PIM (IPv6) protocol to generate and maintain multicast routing entries and forwards multicast data based on multicast routing entries. On an IPv6 multicast network, all Layer 3 devices must run PIM (IPv6); otherwise, multicast forwarding paths cannot be established.

MLD querier: exchanges MLD messages with receiver hosts to create and maintain group memberships. On a multicast network, Layer 3 devices connected to network segments of receivers must run the MLD protocol or be configured with static MLD groups. Otherwise, upstream PIM devices cannot know the multicast groups that users want to join, and therefore cannot establish multicast forwarding paths.

Device running MLD snooping: listens on MLD messages exchanged between upstream Layer 3 multicast devices and receiver hosts to create and maintain Layer 2 multicast forwarding entries, which are used for accurate multicast data forwarding on a Layer 2 network. To prevent broadcasting of multicast packets on a Layer 2 network and conserve network bandwidth, it is recommended that you configure MLD snooping on Layer 2 devices.

Receiver: multicast user that receives multicast data. A receiver can be a PC, a set top box, or any device with multicast client installed.

The "MLD Configuration" chapter mainly describes how to configure a Layer 3 device as an MLD querier.

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 of the S5700 on a Small- or Medium-scale Enterprise Campus Network

This section describes the application of the Huawei S5700 Switch on a small- or medium-scale enterprise campus network.

As shown in Figure 2-2, the S5700 is deployed at the aggregation layer of a campus network to provide high performance, multi-service, and highly reliable enterprise network.

Figure 2-2 Position of the Huawei S5700 Switch on a small- or medium-scale enterprise campus network.

On an enterprise network or campus network shown in Figure 2-2, the S5700s 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 S5700 Switch provides SEP and RRPP to implement millisecond-level protection switchover. S5700s 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 S5700s can be managed in a uniform manner to facilitate network management and maintenance.
