H3C S5000V3-EI is the latest development of Gigabit speed managed Ethernet switch that is especially for SMB (Small Business) market. Besides high performance access, it also offers abundant security access policy control and enhanced network manageability and maintenance. This makes it ideal for network construction on industries such as government, small to midsize enterprise, school and hotel.

Multi-type port access

Ethernet fiber port and copper port capability offers customers flexibility.
Offers 16-port, 24-port, 48-port access and all ports support line-rate forward.
Easy to install and use.

IRF2 (Intelligent Resilient Framework 2)

H3C S5000V3 series switch supports IRF2 technology that connects multiple physical devices (up to 9) to a logical device, that is to say, users can manage and use these devices as a single device. IRF can bring the following benefits to the user：
Simplify the management: Any one of the ports can be connected to any of the devices to login to a unified logical device, and to manage the whole system and all the members of the system through the configuration of a single device, without the physical connection to each member of the device.
High scalability: With IRF2, plug-n-play device aggregation can be achieved by adding one or more switches into the IRF2 stack and enabling IRF2 stacking on the new device. New devices can be managed with a single IP, and upgraded at the same time to reduce network expansion cost.
High reliability: IRF2 patented 1:N standby technology allows each slave device in the IRF2 stack to serve as the backup of the master, creating control and data link redundancy, as well as uninterrupted layer-3 forwarding. This improves the reliability, avoids unplanned business downtime and serves to improve overall performance. When the master device fails, traffic remains uninterrupted.
Load balancing: IRF2 supports cross-device link aggregation, upstream and downstream can be connected to more than one physical link, which creates another layer of network redundancy and boosts the network resource utilization.
Availability: H3C Implements IRF2 through standard Gigabit Ethernet (1GE) ports or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) ports which allocates bandwidth for business and application access and reasonably splits local traffic and upstream traffic.

Comprehensive security control policies

Support ARP Detection, which can prevent hack or ARP attack.
Support IP Source Guard, which can prevent illegal IP/MAC address spoof and DOS attack.
Support DHCP Snooping, which can prevent illegal DHCP server.
Support port security features, which can prevent MAC address based attack and MAC address permit/limit flow.
Support 802.1X and MAC authentication, client software version detection, Guest VLAN, agent detection and dual NIC detection with iMC.

Enhanced service capabilities

Support speed limit on port and flow and multiple granular management tools.
Supports flexible queue scheduling algorithms, including SP(Strict Priority), WRR(Weighted Round Robin) and SP+WRR.
Support rich IPV6 services and multiple IPV6 manage tools.
Professional anti-lightning function
The S5000V3-EI switch series uses professional lightning protection technology from H3C and supports industry leading switch port 6KV anti-lighting capability, which can greatly reduce the rate of lightning damage to the equipment.

Green features

Energy saving design greatly reduces device power consumption and trouble spots. Radiation is reduces to reach standard for household electrical appliances and is harmless to human.
The S5000V3-EI switch series is also compliant with material environmental protection and the EU RoHS safety standard.
