Naming Conventions of Huawei Switch 5700 Series

Identifier

Description

A

Switch

B

6: 10GE downlink ports

5: GE downlink ports

3: Layer 3 switch with 100M downlink ports

2: Layer 2 switch with 100M downlink ports

C

7: switch for enterprise networks

D

Product sub-series (such as 00 or 10)

E

S: channel distribution model

SV2: enhanced channel distribution model

I: model supporting a wide temperature range

F

Maximum number of ports

NOTE:

On an S5710-EI switch (such as S5710-28C-EI), this field indicates the maximum number of fixed ports on the switch.

G

Uplink port type:

C: The product supports extended cards and its uplink ports are provided by an extended card or are fixed 10GE ports.

PC: The product supports extended cards and its uplink ports are provided by an extended card or are fixed GE ports.

X: The product has fixed 10GE uplink ports.

TP: The uplink ports of the product include combo ports consisting of electrical and optical ports.

P: The uplink ports of the product are fixed GE optical ports.

NOTE:

If the product name does not contain this field, the switch has no uplink port.

H

PWR: The product supports Power over Ethernet (PoE).

PWH: The product supports PoE++.

NOTE:

If the product name does not contain this field, the switch does not support PoE.

I

Level type:

LI: lightweight version

SI: standard version

EI: enhanced version

HI: high-level version, which supports high-performance operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) and built-in real-time clock (RTC)

J

Downlink port type:

24S: 24 downlink SFP optical ports

48CS: 48 downlink compact SFP (CSFP) optical ports

NOTE:

If the product name does not contain this field, all downlink ports of the switch are electrical ports.

K

Power supply type:

AC: switch using AC power supply

AC1 or ACF: switch using AC power supply and supporting high-power PoE power modules

ACL: switch using AC power supply and having a built-in low-power PoE power module

DC: switch using DC power supply

BAT: battery LAN switch

NOTE:

Some product models that support pluggable power modules are sold with AC or DC power modules (standard configuration), and their product names contain "-AC" or "-DC". However, the silkscreen or nameplate on the chassis does not contain "-AC" or "-DC".

For example, the S5720-56C-HI supports pluggable AC and DC power modules. If its standard configuration includes AC power modules, its product name is S5720-56C-HI-AC, but the name on its silkscreen or nameplate is still S5720-56C-HI.
