Huawei S5700 Series Switches S5700-EI

The S5700-EI series gigabit enterprise switches (S5700-EI) are next-generation energy-saving switches developed by Huawei to meet the demand for high-bandwidth access and Ethernet multi-service aggregation. Based on the cutting-edge hardware and Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP) software, the S5700-EI provides a large switching capacity and high-density GE ports to implement 10 Gbit/s…

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

What Constraints on USB-based deployment of Huawei S5700 Series 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.
