S9700 Series Switches Overview
S9700 series terabit routing switches (S9700 for short), high-end switches designed for nextgeneration campus networks and data centers, to implement service aggregation. Based on Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), S9700 provides high L2/L3 switching capabilities and integrates diversified services such as MPLS VPN, hardware IPv6, desktop cloud, video conferencing, and wireless access. In addition, S9700 also provides various reliability technologies including in-service software upgrade, non-stop forwarding, hardware OAM/BFD, and ring network protection. These technologies improve customers’ network operation efficiency, maximize the device running time, and reduce customers’ total cost of ownership (TCO). The S9703 chassis is 4 U high (1 U = 44.45 mm). When the chassis has no cable management frame installed, the dimensions are 442 mm x 489 mm x 175 mm (W x D x H). When the chassis has cable management frames installed, the dimensions are 442 mm x 585 mm x 175 mm (W x D x H).
