3-13 Product OverviewProduct OverviewH3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred to as the S5600 series) provide multi-layerswitching capabilities, and support rich Layer 3 features and enhanced extended functions. They areintelligent network-manageable switches designed for network environments that require highperformance, high port density and easy-to-install characteristics.Table 3-1 H3C S5600 switch hardware summaryModel Power supplyAvailableports onfront panelPorts on front panel Combo ports ConsoleportS5600-26CAC and DC dualinput power supply(PSL130-AD)2424 x10/100/1000Base-Telectrical ports4 x 1000 MbpsSFP Comboports1S5600-26C-PWRAC/DC inputexternal PoEpower supply(PSL480-AD24P)2424 x10/100/1000Base-Telectrical ports4 x 1000 MbpsSFP Comboports1S5600-26FAC and DC dualinput power supply(PSL130-AD)24 24 x 1000 Mbps SFPoptical ports4 x 1000 MbpsRJ45 Comboports1S5600-50CAC and DC dualinput power supply(PSL180-AD)4848 x10/100/1000Base-Telectrical ports4 x 1000 MbpsSFP Comboports1S5600-50C-PWRAC/DC inputexternal PoEpower supply(PSL480-AD48P)4848 x10/100/1000Base-Telectrical ports4 x 1000 MbpsSFP Comboports1An S5600 series switch provides one 2-port fabric port and one expansion module slot on its rear panel.The available expansion modules you can select include: 8-port 1000 Mbps SFP module, 1-port 10GXENPAK module, and 2-port 10G XFP module.Network ScenariosYou can deploy the S5600 series on many types of networks, such as enterprise and broadband accessnetworks. This section describes several typical application scenarios for the S5600 series.Application in Small/Middle-Scaled Enterprise NetworksThe S5600 series can be used as backbone switches in the branches of small/middle-scaledenterprises, where they can be connected (by routers) to the networks of other branches or theheadquarters. When the branches or enterprises grow in scale, the S5600 series also provideseamless growth through IRF.
