Cross-device Link Aggregation, Implementing Device-level Redundancy, Flexible Networking, and High Reliability
De-stacking
M-LAG
VSU
De-stacking technology logically aggregates multiple switches through LACP to allow servers on the same network segment or on different network segments to communicate. This eliminates the need to synchronize data between switches, without affecting service transmission.
Midplane-free Design, Improving Data Transmission Efficiency
Midplane-free design
Clos architecture
Eliminates the need for a midplane between the line card and the switch fabric module. This enables direct data transmission from the line card to the switch fabric module, reducing distance and minimizing transmission loss. As a result, data transmission efficiency is significantly improved.
VXLAN Tunneling Technology, Achieving Unlimited Data Transmission and Flexible Resource Allocation and Scheduling
VXLAN technology creates virtual tunnels on an IP network by building a virtual Layer 2 network, implementing cross-region and cross-DC data migration, and flexible resource allocation and scheduling. The switch supports EVPN VXLAN to enhance the number of tenants, meeting requirements of identification and isolation between different networks on a large scale.
Hardware-level Reliability, Ensuring Service Continuity and Network Stability
N+1 redundancy of switch fabric modules:
Secures nonstop traffic transmission through loading sharing and redundancy.

Telemetry-based Network Monitoring and Automated O&M, Making Management Simple and Efficient
The switch enabled with Telemetry/gRPC/sFlow/SPAN provides clear data status and hierarchy.
The switch uses the push mode to proactively collect and push information and to provide sub-second-level network monitoring in real time, making network management more efficient and accurate.
