Overview
H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred to as the S5500-EI series) are Layer 3
Gigabit Ethernet switching products developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter
referred to as H3C).
The S5500-EI series are designed as distribution or access devices for intranets and metropolitan area
networks (MANs). Supporting IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and 10 GE uplink interfaces, the S5500-EI series
provide abundant service features and can also be used for connecting server groups in data centers.
The S5500-EI series support the H3C-specific cluster management function, which facilitates your
network management. And they also support the Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology. You
can connect multiple S5500-EI switches through 10 GE ports to form a logical entity, thus to establish a
new intelligent network with high reliability, expandability and manageability.
The S5500-EI series include six models, and have the system specifications as shown in
