Huawei CloudEngine S5755-S Series

Switches Brochure
CloudEngine S5755-S series Gigabit switches are brand-new access switches that provide
24/48 x GE port models, and provide 8 x 2.5GE and 8 x 25GE uplink ports and one extended
slot.

Product Overview
CloudEngine S5755-S series Switches are brand-new GE switches developed by Huawei for the Wi-Fi 6/Wi-Fi 7. The
CloudEngine S5755-S builds on Huawei's unified Platform and boasts various IDN features. For example, the VXLAN
functionality implements network virtualization. With these merits, the CloudEngine S5755-S can function as core switches for
small-sized campus networks and branches of medium- and large-sized campus networks, and also work as access switches
for Metropolitan Area Network. CloudEngine S5755-S can provide a maximum of 48 GE ports and maximum 60W PoE++ output
for every port, which is a good choice for WLAN APs to connect to a switch in the high-quality campus networks.

⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S provides a series of mechanisms to defend against DoS and user-targeted attacks. DoS
attacks are targeted at switches and include SYN flood, Land, Smurf, and ICMP flood attacks. User-targeted attacks include
bogus DHCP server attacks, IP/MAC address spoofing, DHCP request flood, and change of the DHCP CHADDR value.
⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S sets up and maintains a DHCP snooping binding table, and discards the packets that do not
match the table entries. You can specify DHCP snooping trusted and untrusted ports to ensure that users connect only to the
authorized DHCP server.
⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S supports strict ARP learning, which prevents ARP spoofing attackers from exhausting ARP
entries.
⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S supports Media Access Control Security (MACsec) with all downlink ports and uplink ports . It
provides identity authentication, data encryption, integrity check, and replay protection to protect Ethernet frames and prevent
attack packets.

Mature IPv6 Features

⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S is developed based on the mature, stable platform and supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks, IPv6
routing protocols (RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+, and IS-IS for IPv6). With these IPv6 features, the CloudEngine S5755-S can be
deployed on a pure IPv4 network, a pure IPv6 network, or a shared IPv4/IPv6 network, helping achieve IPv4-to-IPv6 transition.

Intelligent Stack (iStack)

⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S supports the iStack function that combines multiple switches into a logical switch. Member
switches in a stack implement redundancy backup to improve device reliability and use inter-device link aggregation to improve
link reliability. iStack provides high network scalability. You can increase a stack's ports, bandwidth, and processing capacity by
simply adding member switches. iStack also simplifies device configuration and management. After a stack is set up, up to nine
physical switches can be virtualized into one logical device. You can log in to any member switch in the stack to manage all the
member switches in the stack.

Inter-Device Link Aggregation, Ensuring High Efficiency and Reliability

⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S supports Multichassis Link Aggregation Group (M-LAG) to implement link aggregation among
multiple devices, improving link reliability from the card level to the device level.
⚫ Switches in an M-LAG all work in active state to share traffic and back up each other, enhancing system reliability.
⚫ Switches in an M-LAG system can be upgraded independently. During the upgrade, other switches in the system take over
traffic forwarding to ensure uninterrupted services.
⚫ M-LAG supports dual-homing to Ethernet, VXLAN, and IP networks, allowing for flexible networking.

VXLAN Features
⚫ VXLAN is used to construct a Unified Virtual Fabric(UVF). As such, multiple service networks or tenant networks can be
deployed on the same physical network, and service and tenant networks are isolated from each other. This capability truly
achieves 'one network for multiple purposes'. The resulting benefits include enabling data transmission of different services or
customers, reducing the network construction costs, and improving network resource utilization.
⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S series switches are VXLAN-capable and allow centralized and distributed VXLAN gateway
deployment modes. These switches also support the BGP EVPN protocol for dynamically establishing VXLAN tunnels and can
be configured using NETCONF/YANG.

Intelligent O&M
⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S provides telemetry technology to collect device data in real time and send the data to Huawei
campus network analyzer CampusInsight. The CampusInsight analyzes network data based on the intelligent fault identification
algorithm, accurately displays the real-time network status, effectively demarcates and locates faults in a timely manner, and
identifies network problems that affect user experience, accurately guaranteeing user experience.

PoE Function
⚫ Perpetual PoE: When a PoE switch is warm rebooting (Don't turn PSE switch power off), for example, reboot upon the
software upgrade, the power supply to PDs is not interrupted.This capability ensures that PDs are not powered off during the
switch warm reboot.
⚫ Fast PoE: PoE switches can supply power to PDs within seconds after they are powered on. This is different from
common switches that generally take 1 to 3 minutes to start to supply power to PDs. When a PoE switch reboots due to a power

Huawei CloudEngine S5755-S Series Switches Brochure 2

failure, the PoE switch continues to supply power to the PDs immediately after being powered on without waiting until it finishes
reboot. This greatly shortens the power failure time of PDs.

Intelligent Upgrade
⚫ Switches support the intelligent upgrade feature. Specifically, switches obtain the version upgrade path and download the
newest version for upgrade from the Huawei Online Upgrade Platform (HOUP). The entire upgrade process is highly automated
and achieves one-click upgrade. In addition, preloading the version is supported, which greatly shortens the upgrade time and
service interruption time.
⚫ The intelligent upgrade feature greatly simplifies device upgrade operations and makes it possible for the customer to
upgrade the version independently. This greatly reduces the customer's maintenance costs. In addition, the upgrade policies on
the HOUP platform standardize the upgrade operations, which greatly reduces the risk of upgrade failures.

Big Data Security Collaboration

⚫ The CloudEngine S5755-S switches use NetStream to collect campus network data and then report such data to the
Huawei HiSec Insight. The purposes of doing so are to detect network security threats, display the security posture across the
entire network, and enable automated or manual response to security threats. The HiSec Insight delivers the security policies to
the iMaster NCE-Campus. The iMaster NCE-Campus then delivers such policies to switches that will handle security events
accordingly. All these ensure campus network security.

Cloud Management
⚫ The Huawei cloud management platform allows users to configure, monitor, and inspect switches on the cloud, reducing
on-site deployment and O&M manpower costs and decreasing network OPEX. Huawei switches support both cloud
management and on-premise management modes. These two management modes can be flexibly switched as required to
achieve smooth evolution while maximizing return on investment (ROI).

Link Layer Security

⚫ This series switches support MACsec. MACsec protects transmitted Ethernet data frames through identity authentication,
data encryption, integrity check, and anti-replay protection, reducing the risks of information leakage and malicious network
attacks. With MACsec, these switch models are able to address strict information security requirements of customers in
industries such as government and finance.

Open Programmability System(OPS)

⚫ Open Programmability System(OPS) is an open programmable system based on the Python language. IT administrators
can program the O&M functions of a switch through Python scripts to quickly innovate functions and implement intelligent O&M.

Licensing
IDN One Software
CloudEngine S5755-S supports both the traditional feature-based licensing mode and the latest Huawei IDN One Software (N1
mode for short) licensing mode. The N1 mode is ideal for deploying Huawei CloudCampus Solution in the on-premises scenario,
as it greatly enhances the customer experiences in purchasing and upgrading software services with simplicity.
