The H3C® S3600-EI series delivers premium levels of intelligent, resilient performance, security and reliability for robust switching at the enterprise network edge. The series consists of Layer 2/3/4 Fast Ethernet and Power over Ethernet switches, with advanced features that can accommodate the most demanding applications, offering resilient and secure connectivity and the latest traffic-prioritization technologies to optimize applications on converged networks. Designed for maximum flexibility and scalability, H3C S3600-EI series switch models come with 24 or 48 10/100 ports, plus four active SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports for stacking and uplinks and a 24 port 100BASE-FX switch with 2 Gigabit SFP slots. The switches can be stacked up to eight units high in one location, or they can be distributed over several sites up to 70 km (43.5 miles) apart and connected via Gigabit links to form a virtual “stack.” One stack can provide up to 384 Fast Ethernet ports and may be managed centrally as a single-IP entity. Each stack offers chassis-like availability and resiliency over traditional aggregated-trunk configurations with IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) stacking technology. Further expansion is possible via clustered stacking technology, allowing single IP management for up to 32 devices. The H3C S3600-EI Series Ethernet Switches include the following models: S3600-28P-EI, S3600-28F-EI, S3600-28PPWR-EI, S3600-52P-EI and S3600-52P-PWR-EI.
Key Benefits
Enterprise-level Performance
H3C S3600-EI series 10/100 devices provide switching capacity of up to 17.6 Gbps for 52-port models and 12.8 Gbps for 28-port models. Wirespeed and line-rate performance is delivered on all ports within the stack. Advanced Layer 3 routing—including OSPF, PIM-SM, PIM-DM and RIP v1/v2— helps deliver optimal performance and system response.
These switches offer Enterprise-class switching features including more MAC addresses, static routes and IP interfaces, greater number of virtual LANs (VLANs), extended port mirroring, Layer 3 OSPF and multicast routing, enhanced resiliency via IRF stacking technology and IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support.
High Availability for Critical Applications
IRF technology enables multiple interconnected and stackable Layer 3 switches to be managed as a single entity. Stack and switching fabric setup is automated and provides a high level of resiliency and continuous availability without adding to network complexity. After configuration, all switches actively share routing intelligence and network loads—eliminating the wasted bandwidth and added expense of a passive standby unit. Ultra-fast failover recovery automatically redistributes traffic among the other active units in case a switch becomes disconnected or fails.
Multilayer Network Security
The H3C S3600-EI series provides integrated and distributed security enforcement that can be managed from a central location. Access control lists (ACLs) help protect network resources from unauthorized access and data corruption. User-based authentication and DES 56/168-bit† encryption help secure Layer 3 protocols and management controls such as SSH v2 and SNMP. IEEE 802.1X RADIUS/TACACS+ network login and RADIUS Authenticated Device Access (RADA) enforce access control at the network edge.
