Chapter 3 Product Overview
3.1 Preface
H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred to as the S5500-EI series)
are Gigabit Ethernet switching products developed by H3C. The S5500-EI series have
abundant service features. They provide the IPv6 forwarding function and 10GE uplink
interfaces.
Through H3C-specific cluster management, you can streamline network management.
The S5500-EI series are designed as convergence and access devices for intranets
and metropolitan area networks (MANs). Supporting IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack, the
S5500-EI series provide abundant service features and routing functions and can also
be used for connecting server groups in data centers.

Chapter 4 Networking Applications
The S5500-EI series are designed as convergence layer switches or access layer
switches for enterprise networks and MANs. The S5500-EI series provide 24 or 48
autosensing Gigabit Ethernet ports and four SFP Combo Gigabit optical interfaces. In
addition, the S5500-EI series provide two extension slots. You can configure XFP/CX4
extension module and up to four 10GE ports are supported. Networking is very flexible.
The S5500-EI series can apply to Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop (GTTD) access of
enterprise networks, user access of campus networks, and connection of data center
server clusters. Several typical networking applications are described as follows.
4.1 Serving as a Convergence Layer Device
In medium- and large-sized enterprises or campus networks, the S5500-EI series
Ethernet switches can serve as convergence layer switches that provide
high-performance and large-capacity switching service and support 10GE uplink
interfaces, which provide larger bandwidth for the devices.

networks/campus networks
4.2 Serving as a Access Layer Device
The S5500-EI series can serve as access layer switches that provide large access
bandwidth and high port density. The S5500-EI series also provide PoE. Through
