Huawei S5700-28C-SI – Product Documentation

Name: Huawei S5700-28C-SI Switch - SunSpike
SKU: S5700-28C-SI

Product Overview

The Huawei S5700-28C-SI is a standard Layer 2/Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switch built on Huawei’s next-generation high-performance hardware architecture and the Versatile Routing Platform (VRP). It delivers a switching capacity of 256 Gbps and a forwarding performance of 96 Mpps, providing robust data processing capabilities for enterprise networks.

The switch features 24 Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports, 4 of which are dual-purpose Combo ports supporting either 10/100/1000BASE-T or 100/1000BASE-X SFP connectivity. It is equipped with 2 extended slots — one for an uplink subcard and the other for a stack card — offering flexible network expansion options. With high-density GE interfaces and support for 10 GE uplink interfaces, the S5700-28C-SI is well-suited for a variety of deployment scenarios.

The S5700-SI series integrates advanced technologies in reliability, security, and energy efficiency. It supports Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS/G.8032), the latest ring network protocol that implements millisecond-level protection switching through mature Ethernet OAM functions and the Ring Automatic Protection Switching (R-APS) mechanism. This enables flexible networking with lower OPEX and CAPEX for customers.

Common application scenarios include:

Access or aggregation switches on enterprise campus networks
Access switches in data center networks

The switch features simple and convenient installation and maintenance procedures, helping reduce operational and management costs while assisting enterprise customers in building next-generation IT networks.
