Architecturally, the S10500X-G adopts an industry-leading orthogonal CLOS+ forwarding architecture, ensuring long-term networking capabilities, making S10500X-G capable of building a high-performance network for years to come. In terms of services, with PoE++ capability, EERN (Enhanced Ethernet Ring Network) technology, and a variety of GE/10GE/25GE/40GE/100GE/400GE cards, along with wireless AC module, S10500X-G provides complete solutions for a wide range of scenarios. To ensure the network operating continuity, the S10500X-G delivers carrier-grade reliability, features redundant designs across key components including the Engine units (MPU), Switch Fabric units, fan trays, and power supply modules. Additionally, the S10500X-G embraces a Green and environmentally friendly design philosophy, with intelligent cooling system and reduced power consumption to promote energy efficiency.

• Hardware BFD: to ensure the network continuity.
• M-LAG (Multichassis link aggregation, originated from DRNI): provides device-level redundancy and load-balance through the simplest link aggregation protocol.
• IRF2 (Intelligent Resilient Framework): device level reliability technology, virtualizes multiple switches into one virtual IRF system to provide Data Center-class availability, scalability and also simplifies the management complexity. IRF2 system can be formed over a distance of 80 km (49.71 miles).
• Supports a variety of high-availability features such as NSR, ISSU, Graceful Restart, Smartlink, etc.
• Redundancy design across key components, including MPUs, switch Fabric Units, Fan tray, PSUs, even power switches, maximizing the system availability and guarding the device against emergency and unexpected conditions.
• key components including MPU, SFU, Line cards, Fan tray, Power supply module are hot swappable.
• H3C S10500X-G series can operate at high level of stability, with a carrier-grade reliability of 99.999%.

• With Data center-level forwarding architecture, non-backplane Orthogonal CLOS+, providing slot bandwidth up to 3.1Tbps* (bidirectional) on S10506X-G/S10506X-G-PoE and 4.6Tbps* (bidirectional) on S10508X-G/S10512X-G/ S10512X-G-PoE.
• Compliant with 40G,100G and 400G Ethernet standards, high port-density 40G, 100G line cards to build a high-speed network. The S10500X-G takes the lead in 400G Campus scenario, dramatically increases the inter-campus bandwidth, eliminates bandwidth bottleneck, also makes S10500X-G suitable for Data center scenario in the era of AI.
• S10500X-G EERN solution (Enhanced Ethernet Ring Network) provides the most optimal proposal to build long distance Ring structure networks. Ring structure is widely adopted in Transportation, Metro, Railway and Manufacturing industries. Compared to other software Ring protocols, such as RRPP, ERPS, the bandwidth of EERN is much higher, with each ring being a 200G ring and the distance between two sites can be as far as 80KM, and the switchover time is much faster, being less than 3ms. As EERN is running on 1.5 layer, so typical Ethernet protocols can run on EERN. With EERN, customers will no longer need to rely on WAN system to build a long-distance ring network for their business, EERN can be their new and most cost-effective solution.
• Thorough system optimization enables S10500X-G to forward traffic within 100 seconds after being powered on, greatly reducing service interruption time.
• Ultra-low forwarding latency, which can be as less as <1µs, ensuring a fluent use experience.
• *: 'Bidirectional’ means sending + receiving, for instance, 4.6Tbps=2.3Tbps sending direction + 2.3Tbps receiving direction.

S10500X-G incorporates the following advanced designs:

• Adopting the Data center level forwarding architecture, CLOS+ architecture and non-backplane design, separating the forwarding plane and control plane completely, giving S10500X-G high level of bandwidth scalability, helping customers build a non-blocking campus network.
• Orthogonal interconnection of switching fabric modules and service card modules eliminates circuit on the backplane and thus significantly reduces signal attenuation and data transmit latency.
• Compact chassis design, smaller, lighter, take S10506X-G for instance, hosts 6 line-card slots in 10U high-performance CLOS+ switch, which can also fit in a regular 600mm depth rack cabinet, greatly saving rack cabinet space.

S10500X-G series adopts distributed system design for control engines, detection engines, and maintenance engines to deliver powerful control capability and millisecond-level HA.

• Distributed control engines: Each service card is integrated with a control and processing system. It can efficiently process varieties of packets on the control plane, and provide precise control for protocol packets to avoid attacks on the control plane.
• Distributed detection engines: Each service card can deploy BFD or OAM to detect faults in milliseconds and interact with control plane protocols for fast failover and convergence to ensure service continuity.
• Distributed maintenance engines: The intelligent CPU system supports intelligent power management and status monitoring for key components. It can reduce power impulse, electromagnetic radiation, and power consumption, and prolongs the device lifespan.

S10500X-G Multigigabit Ethernet PoE++ Solution: With 48*10G Multigigabit PoE++ card, S10500X-G can provide an Easy-to-Deploy solution that can grow with customers’ business. It brings 5 times the current speed to the workspace in a way that plugs right into the existing cabling infrastructure, upgrades network capacity without disruption to business, delivers 15W, 30W, 60W and up to 90W (802.3bt standard) PoE out, powering more end-devices – IP phones, IPTVs, cameras, etc.

• MACsec (256bits) capability: MACsec, an industry-standard point-to-point link-layer security technology, is supported across all ports of the SF series cards, protecting the network from security threats on the deepest data level.
• Trusted Computing: With the built-in TPM, S10500X-G brings the security degree of switches to another level, providing multiple features, such as certificate issuance and device self-check functions to build a more secured network.
