Huawei S5700-28X-LI-AC Switch – Product Documentation

Name: Huawei S5700-28X-LI-AC Switch - SunSpike
SKU: S5700-28X-LI-AC

Product Overview

The Huawei S5700-28X-LI-AC is an enterprise‑class Layer 2 gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small to medium‑sized enterprise networks. It belongs to the S5700‑LI series and is built on Huawei’s unified VRP (Versatile Routing Platform) software platform, featuring high‑performance hardware chips.

This switch is engineered to meet the demands of high‑bandwidth access and multi‑service aggregation. It delivers a non‑blocking switching capacity of 256 Gbit/s and a forwarding performance of 96 Mpps. The device is equipped with 28 fixed ports: 24 x 10/100/1000BASE‑T electrical ports for gigabit connectivity and 4 x 10GE SFP+ uplink ports for high‑speed fibre uplinks.

The S5700-28X-LI-AC supports a comprehensive set of Layer 2 features including VLAN (up to 4K VLANs), QoS with multiple queue scheduling algorithms, multicast management with IGMP snooping, and robust security mechanisms such as 802.1X authentication, ACLs, and MAC address binding. It also offers network management capabilities via SNMP, web‑based management, and Huawei’s eSight management system.

With a compact 1U rack‑mountable form factor (442 × 220 × 43.6 mm) and AC power input (100‑240V, 50/60Hz), the switch is suitable for deployment in enterprise wiring closets, campus networks, and data centre access layers. It incorporates energy‑efficient features including IEEE 802.3az Energy‑Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and supports a wide operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C.
