S2403H Enterprise Desktop Switch OVERVIEW Quidway S2403H Ethernet Switch, developed by Huawei independently, is a type of in-building / desk- top Layer 2 wire-speed Ethernet switch. Coupled with the traditional Ethernet functions, it has more advanced hardware and software features, and serves well for broadband Ethernet access.

S2403H Enterprise Desktop Switch Fig.2 Quidway S2403H rear view 50 51 Main Features Product Features: High performance: Full wire-speed layer 2 forwarding on each port. Precise user authentication Supporting port-based/user-based 802.1x authen- tication mode. IEEE 802.1x port-based authenti- cation to prevent unauthorized devices (clients) from accessing to the network. MAC address customized management S2403H maintains a MAC address table for packet forwarding and can learn source MAC address. It provides the function of management over the ad- dress table. The user can set limits to the number of addresses learned via each port, use address table lock to bind MAC address and port for security, and set aging time of the table to update the entries in time. Intelligent remote management Managing several member switches with one command switch, thereby simplifying the configu- ration management. Providing topology discovery and displaying function, which is useful for network monitoring and debugging. Configuring one public IP address on the com- mand switch to configure and manage several switches, thereby saving the IP address resource. Performing software upgrade and parameter con- figuration to multiple switches simultaneously. Independent of network topology and distance Remote diagnosis On the mainframe and extended interface mod- ules of S2403H, there are indicators showing operation status of interface. Providing hardware watchdog for protective re- set when the system work abnormally. Providing user privilege management, operation log management and online help functions. Providing alarm level management and alarm filtering functions. Providing system status query, version query and debugging & tracing functions for real-time moni- toring of system operation status, suitable recov- ering solutions are initiated automatically when there is error detected. Supporting abundant service features: A. QoS Based on 802.1p tags priority control, it supports 2 priorities. B. Multicast It supports IGMP Snooping. C. Security features It supports locking and static setting of MAC address table, and the controlled filtering of MAC. D. VLAN Supporting the port-based VLAN; Supporting the VLAN based on IEEE 802.1Q tag Supporting the VLAN based on port and 802. 1Q tag hybrid strategy; Supporting 802.1Q VLAN trunk. E. Port Mirroring It supports the port-based mirroring mode. 52 Fig.3 Networking for access to the Internet with broadband in residential areas Product application As we have introduced, S2403H is a kind of in-building/desktop Ethernet switch. As an in- building switch, S2403H is suitable for residential area networking to access the Internet with broadband. As a desktop switch, it is suitable for interior networking of enterprises Together with MA5200, S3000 and S3500 Switches, it can provide a well designed solution to MAN and enterprise networking. It is obvious that S2403H can be used flexibly in differ- ent networking environment and has a promising future in the market. Here we will intro- duce several typical networking examples. Accessing Internet with Broadband in Residen- tial Areas When constructing broadband accessing network in residential areas, S2403H is located in the doorway of the apartment buildings and provides 10/100M auto-sensing interface for home users, who can access with the Category 5 twisted pair directly. S2403 can access the central device (such as Huawei MA5200 Ethernet access processing system) of the residential area via 100Mbps uplink FE interface.

In the large enterprise and campus network, S2403H serves as a desktop switching device on the accessing layer. It is connected to the convergence layer switch (Layer 3 switch) via uplink, and thus connected to the Gigabit switch on the backbone network. In this way, it provides the solution to access the backbone network at the speed of 1000Mbps and con- nect the desktop at 100Mbps for the whole enterprise networking.
