Overview 

H3C S9500E is a series of new-generation core routing switches 

developed for use in the core layer of campus networks and data 

centers. While providing large-capacity and high-performance L2/L3 

switching, the S9500E further integrates intelligent features such as 

hardware-based IPv6 forwarding, hardware-based MPLS forwarding, 

security and flow analysis. It can be used to construct a basic network 

platform on which integrated services can be provided in campus 

networks and data centers. 

Adopting innovative hardware design, the S9500E provides powerful 

control capability and 50-ms high reliability guarantee through an 

independent control engine, an independent detection engine and an 

independent maintenance engine. The distributed high-performance 

hardware forwarding mechanism and the large-capacity Crossbar 

non-blocking switching technology of the S9500E will guarantee high 

processing performance and flexible system scalability. The open OAA 

architecture enables the perfect integration of networks, security and 

wireless services. 

Features 

Innovative architecture that guarantees high service performance 

u Incorporating innovative hardware design, the S9500E provides 

powerful control capability and 50-ms high reliability guarantee 

through an independent control engine, an independent detection 

engine and an independent maintenance engine. 

u The independent control engine provides a powerful control CPU 

that supports protocol packet control at fine granularity and can 

process various protocol packets and control packets with ease. 

u The independent detection engine provides a highly-reliable, 

high-performance Fast Fault Detection and Restoration (FFDR) 

CPU system. Specially designed for fast fault detection such as 

BFD and OAM, this CPU system can interact with the protocols on 

the control plane to provide fast protection switching and fast 

convergence and to detect faults within 50 ms, thus guaranteeing 

that the services are not interrupted. 

u The independent maintenance engine provides an intelligent 

S9505E S9508E- S9512E 

Embedded Maintenance Subsystem (EMS) CPU system. 

Supporting intelligent power management, this CPU system 

provides sequential power-on of boards to reduce the power 

impact of power-on, improve the device lifespan and reduce 

electromagnetic radiation. The power-off of boards can also be 

controlled to reduce the system power consumption. 

u The S9500E perfectly integrates a 10GE hardware platform and 

the Crossbar non-blocking switching technology, and can thus 

completely meet user requirements on service processing 

performance and capacity. It employs separate planes to enable 

the system management and monitoring modules to have 

minimum or zero impact on the forwarding plane, so that the 

forwarding plane better focuses on service processing and 

provides large-capacity wire-speed forwarding of traffic. 

Intelligent Resilient Framework 2 (IRF2) 

u To meet the application requirements for a unified switching fabric, 

the S9500E supports the IRF2 technology, which virtualizes 

multiple high-end devices as one logical device. The S9500E has 

great advantages in reliability, distributed deployment and easy 

management. 

u Reliability: Using the patented route hot standby technology, the 

S9500E provides redundancy backup of all data information on 

the control plane and the data plane as well as uninterrupted L3 

forwarding over the entire virtual framework. This greatly 

enhances the reliability and performance of the virtual framework, 

eliminates single-point failures and avoids service interruption. 

u Distributed deployment: The S9500E employs distributed 

inter-device link aggregation technology to provide multiple 

uplinks for load sharing and backup. This improves the 

redundancy of the entire network architecture and the utilization of 

link resources.

SWITCHING 

u Easy management: The entire resilient framework uses only one 

IP address for management purposes. This simplifies network 

device management and network topology management, 

improves the operating efficiency, and lowers the maintenance 

cost. 

Service control at a fine granularity 

u The S9500E provides complete queue scheduling, congestion 

avoidance, traffic policing, traffic shaping, and priority marking 

functions, which guarantee limitations on the bandwidth, delay 

and jitter of various services and implement differentiated 

services for different users and different classes of services. 

u The Crossbar switching fabric of the S9500E supports VOQ and 

E2E flow control technologies, which effectively avoid Head of 

Line (HOL) blocking and implement differentiated services for 

packets on the Crossbar. 

High-performance MPLS VPN soluons 

u The S9500E supports fully-distributed L3 MPLS VPN, VLL, and 

VPLS/H-VPLS services. It is fit for high-performance P/PE 

deployment, offering top-quality and multi-level MPLS VPN 

solutions. 

u The S9500E supports distributed multicast VPN, which enables 

users to conveniently deploy high-performance multicast services 

in MPLS VPN networks and meets user requirements for 

multicast services such as video-conferencing and e-education. 

Powerful network traffic analysis function 

u The S9500E supports two network traffic analysis methods: sFlow 

and Netstream. It employs dedicated high-performance hardware 

cards for network service analysis and supports sampling and 

traffic statistics as well as multiple log formats such as V5, V8 and 

V9. The S9500E can cooperate with the iMC analysis system to 

offer a complete network traffic analysis solution. In addition, it 

can send logs to both the active server and the standby server to 

prevent statistical information loss. Through network service 

analysis, network service traffic which was originally invisible 

becomes clearly visible. The S9500E can offer multiple kinds of 

network traffic analysis reports to help users to timely optimize 

network structure and adjust resource deployment. 

Perfect security mechanism 

u Employing H3C's Open Application Architecture (OAA) design 

concept, the S9500E supports security control modules such as 

the firewall module, IPS module and load balancing module. 

These modules extend the firewall protection function to every 

port of the switch. In addition, the virtual firewall function of the 

S9500E facilitates network firewall rental service for VPN users. In 

sum, the S9500E seamlessly integrates network services and 

security services. 

u The S9500E provides the following functions: 

† Hierarchical user management and password protection. 

Users are authenticated and different rights are granted to 

different levels of users. The available user authentication 

modes include AAA authentication and RADIUS 

authentication. 

† SSHv2.0 to provide security encryption channels for user 

login. 

† Standard ACL and extended ACL to filter packets and 

prevent network attacks. 

† Multi-level protection mechanism applied on the control 

plane to prevent DoS and DDoS attacks. 

† uRPF technology to prevent network attacks based on 

source address spoofing. 

Integrated wireless solution 

u Integrating a wireless control module, the S9500E offers an 

integrated wireless/wired solution. The wireless control module of 

the S9500E provides abundant service capabilities, including fine 

user control and management, RF management and security, fast 

roaming, super strong QoS, and IPv6 support. The wireless 

control module can cooperate with a security policy server to 

provide Endpoint Admission Defense (EAD) for wireless users 

and thus enhance the security of the entire network. 

Complete IPv6 solution 

u IPv6 is widely recognized as the base protocol for the next 

generation network (NGN) because of its particular technical 

advantages. The S9500E completely supports the IPv6 protocol 

stack, IPv6 routing protocols including IPv6 static routing, RIPng, 

OSPFv3, IS-ISv6, and BGP4+, as well as a multitude of 

technologies that enable IPv4 to transit to IPv6. These transition 

technologies guarantee smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6 and 

include IPv6 manual tunnel, 6to4 tunnel, ISATAP tunnel, GRE 

tunnel and auto IPv4-compatible IPv6 tunnel. 

Comprehensive maintenance detection mechanism 

u The S9500E employs an online status detection mechanism and 

a dedicated maintenance engine to detect the status of its


SWITCHING 

u 

switching fabric board, backplane communication channels, 

service communication channels, key chips, and memory devices. 

When a fault occurs on a certain module, the fault information is 

reported through the EMS to the system. 

The interface boards of the S9500E can be isolated from the 

forwarding plane. The isolated boards no longer participate in the 

forwarding on the forwarding plane but are still managed on the 

control plane. Users can manage these boards, for example, 

users can perform real-time diagnosis, CPLD upgrade and other 

service processing without affecting other services operating on 

the system.
