Questions & Answers
What is the Huawei S6720-50L-HI-48S switch?
The Huawei S6720-50L-HI-48S is a high-performance Layer 3 switch offering flexible deployment with 48×10 Gigabit SFP+, 6×40 Gigabit QSFP+ or an alternative mix of 44×10 Gigabit SFP+, 4×40 Gigabit QSFP+, and 2×100 Gigabit QSFP28 slots.
What port configurations does the S6720-50L-HI-48S support?
It supports two modes: either 48×10 GbE SFP+ plus 6×40 GbE QSFP+ ports, or 44×10 GbE SFP+, 4×40 GbE QSFP+, and 2×100 GbE QSFP28 ports for maximum flexibility.
What is the switching capacity of the S6720-50L-HI-48S?
The switch delivers up to 1.44 Tbps of switching capacity in 48×10 GbE + 6×40 GbE mode, ensuring full line-rate forwarding across all ports.
What is the maximum forwarding rate?
It provides a wire-speed forwarding rate of up to 1 071.4 Mpps, ensuring low-latency packet processing under heavy traffic.
What latency can I expect under full load?
Latency is maintained at microsecond levels—typically under 2 µs for 64-byte packets—even at maximum throughput.
Which Layer 3 protocols are supported?
It supports static routing, OSPF, RIP, BGP, IS-IS, MPLS L2/L3 VPN, VRRP and ECMP for resilient, scalable network architectures.
Does the switch support network virtualization?
Yes. It supports VRF-Lite, Q-in-Q, MPLS, and VXLAN with EVPN to deliver multi-tenant isolation and flexible virtualization.
What stacking capabilities does it offer?
Using iStack, you can seamlessly interconnect up to 9 units with a 1.44 Tbps backplane, achieving sub-20 µs inter-switch latency.
What management interfaces are available?
Management is available via console, USB, SSH, Telnet, web GUI, SNMPv2/v3, Netconf, Huawei eSight and iMaster NCE for centralized control.
What are the typical use cases for this switch?
Ideal for data center leaf/spine topologies, enterprise aggregation, and high-performance computing networks needing high port density and low latency.
What is the power consumption?
It consumes up to 430 W under full load and supports dual hot-swap AC power supplies for redundancy and continuous operation.
What warranty and support are included?
