Product Features
Distributed Multi Engine Design
Adopting innovative hardware design, the system provides powerful control capabilities and millisecond level high reliability assurance through fully distributed independent control engines, detection engines, and maintenance engines
Distributed control engine, all business boards provide powerful control processing systems that easily handle various protocol and control messages, and support fine control of protocol messages, providing the system with comprehensive resistance to protocol message attacks.
Distributed detection engine, all business boards can perform fast fault detection such as BFD and OAM in a distributed manner, and are linked with control plane protocols to support fast protection switching and convergence. It can achieve millisecond level fault detection and ensure uninterrupted business operations.
Distributed maintenance engine, intelligent CPU system supporting intelligent power management, can support online status check of devices, sequential power on and off of single boards (reducing power impact caused by simultaneous power on of single boards, improving equipment life, reducing electromagnetic radiation and system power consumption).
IRF2 (Second Generation Intelligent Elastic Architecture)
The H3C S7300X-G series switches support IRF2 (Second Generation Intelligent Elastic Architecture) technology, which connects two physical devices to each other and virtualizes them as a logical device. In other words, users can manage and use these multiple devices as a single device. IRF can bring the following benefits to users:
After the formation of the simplified management IRF architecture, it is possible to connect to any port of any device to log in to a unified logical device. By configuring a single device, the effect of managing the entire intelligent elastic system and all member devices within the system can be achieved, without physically connecting to each member device to configure and manage them separately.
The various control protocols running in the logical devices formed by simplifying business IRF are also uniformly operated as a single device. For example, routing protocols are uniformly calculated as a single device. With the application of cross device link aggregation technology, they can replace the original spanning tree protocol, which can save a large number of protocol packet interactions between devices, simplify network operation, and shorten convergence time during network turbulence.
Elastic expansion can be achieved according to user needs, ensuring user investment. And the newly added devices can achieve "hot plugging" when joining or leaving the IRF architecture, without affecting the normal operation of other devices.
The high reliability of IRF is reflected in three aspects: links, devices, and protocols. The physical ports between member devices support aggregation function, and the physical connections between the IRF system and the upper and lower level devices also support aggregation function. This improves the reliability of the links through multi link backup; The IRF system consists of multiple member devices. In the event of a Master device failure, the system will quickly and automatically elect a new Master to ensure uninterrupted business through the system, thus achieving device level 1: N backup; The IRF system will have a real-time protocol hot backup function responsible for backing up the configuration information of the protocol to all other member devices, thereby achieving a 1: N protocol reliability.
For high-end switches, the improvement in performance and port density is limited by hardware architecture. The performance and port density of the IRF system are the sum of the performance of all devices and the number of ports within the IRF. Therefore, IRF technology can easily increase the switching capability and user port density of devices by several times, thereby significantly improving device performance.
• Easy to manage. The entire elastic architecture shares a common IP management, simplifying network device management, network topology management, improving operational efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs.
Comprehensive IPv6 solution
The S7300X-G series fully supports the IPv6 protocol family, including IPv6 static routing, RIPng, OSPFv3, IS-ISv6, BGP4+and other IPv6 routing protocols.
Three plane security guarantee mechanism
H3C S7300X-G provides a comprehensive security protection mechanism, which can comprehensively guarantee the security of the network from the three planes of control, management, and forwarding:
In the control plane, there is a built-in protocol packet attack recognition module to prevent ARP protocol packet attacks. The OSPF/BGP/IS-IS routing protocol uses MD5 verification to prevent network paralysis caused by illegal routing updates.
In the management plane, the SNMPv3 network management protocol, SSH V2， User authentication based on 802.1x, AAA/Radio, and hierarchical user permission management ensure the security of device management;
In the forwarding plane, it supports precise binding of various combinations such as IP, VLAN, MAC, and ports; Support uRPF unicast reverse path forwarding to prevent illegal traffic from accessing the network, and adopt the longest matching forwarding mechanism to effectively resist virus attacks.
Enhanced ACL features
H3C S7300X-G series products support powerful ACL capabilities: supporting standard and extended ACLs; Support VLAN based ACL for convenient user configuration and saving ACL resources; Support ACL for both outbound and inbound directions, meeting the requirement of strict access control.
*Built in network management software
*Built in network management software, supports unified network management, supports integrated management of wireless, switch, router, etc., and provides free operation and simplified start-up capabilities for CT small scenes. The S7300X-G series can be used as a management device connection for easy maintenance.
