Huawei CloudEngine S8700‑4 (S8704) Full English Product Description

Product Overview

Key Features

1. Chassis and Hardware Configuration

   8U height 19‑inch rack‑mount chassis. 2 slots for SRU main‑control units (1+1 hot‑standby redundancy, failover＜5 ms), 2 independent LPU service slots. SRU boards integrate service ports, supporting GE/10GE/25GE interfaces without additional interface cards. 6 hot‑swappable power slots support AC, ‑48V DC and 240V HVDC with N+1 / N+N redundancy modes. Integrated hot‑swap fan tray supports single‑fan fault tolerance. Console port, Mini‑USB console port, ETH management port and USB storage port are reserved for device maintenance. All critical components support hot‑swap to minimize service interruption risk.
2. Powerful Layer‑2 Capabilities

   Supports 4094 IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, MUX VLAN, Voice VLAN, Guest VLAN, GVRP, basic & flexible QinQ and VLAN mapping. Implements STP/RSTP/MSTP, Smart‑Link, RRPP, ERPS for millisecond‑level link fail‑over recovery. Supports LACP link aggregation, IGMP Snooping, MLD Snooping, broadcast‑multicast‑unicast storm suppression and port isolation. Supports SVF (Super Virtual Fabric) to virtualize core‑aggregation‑access switches and massive APs into one logical device for simplified O&M. Supports CSS‑2 switch cluster technology and VBST for interoperability with third‑party PVST+ devices.
3. Comprehensive Layer‑3 & IPv6 Functions

   Supports static routing, RIP, OSPF, IS‑IS, BGP, OSPFv3, BGP4+, VRRP, ECMP equal‑cost routing and complete multicast protocols including PIM‑DM, PIM‑SM, PIM‑SSM, MSDP. Full IPv4/IPv6 dual‑stack, supports policy‑based‑routing, URPF and BFD fast fault detection. Delivers full‑feature MPLS suite including MPLS‑L3VPN, VPWS, VPLS; supports VXLAN L2/L3 gateway with BGP‑EVPN and network slicing for cloud‑campus virtualized networking. Built‑in native WLAN AC function can manage large‑quantity Wi‑Fi 6 / Wi‑Fi 7 APs without independent AC hardware. Supports iLossless lossless networking technology for converged service bearing.
4. Security Mechanisms

   Supports 802.1X, MAC‑based authentication, Portal authentication, AAA / RADIUS / HWTACACS access control. Provides DHCP Snooping, ARP anti‑attack, multi‑dimensional DoS‑attack defense, BPDU protection, root protection and MAC‑address‑learning‑limit control. Supports MACsec link‑layer encryption and secure‑boot to prevent system‑image tampering. L2‑L4 ACL implements flexible traffic filtering based on MAC, IP, port and protocol type. Supports SSHv2, HTTPS for secure management access.
5. QoS and Intelligent O&M

   Multiple priority queues per port, supports SP / WDRR / DRR / H‑QoS multi‑mode scheduling. Provides port‑based rate‑limiting, two‑rate three‑color CAR, 802.1p / DSCP remarking and traffic shaping. Supports NetStream, sFlow, iPCA intelligent packet‑loss detection and over 6000‑layer application identification. Compatible with eSight and iMaster NCE‑Campus management platforms, also supports cloud‑managed mode. Supports zero‑touch PNP deployment, VCT virtual‑cable‑test and Ethernet OAM for fast fault diagnosis. Supports EEE energy‑efficient Ethernet for low‑power‑consumption operation.
