S12700 Series Agile Switches
High-capacity core switches for next-generation campus networks. Fully programmable, SDN-capable architecture and specialized ENP processor enable easy customization of features and functions, and smooth migration to Software-Defined Networking.
Based on Huawei’s Virtual Routing Platform (VRP), the S12700 combines L2/L3 switching with rich network services including MPLS VPN, cloud desktop, video conferencing, and IPv6 support.
Non-stop forwarding architecture, CSS2 switch fabric clustering, and in-service software upgrades provide scalable, high-performance switching with carrier-grade reliability.
