H19-301 — frequently asked questions

IP65 protects against low-pressure water jets, while IP66 protects against powerful, high-pressure water jets. The S5720I-SI is rated for the more demanding IP66 standard.

No, it is not IP67 rated. While it is rugged for outdoor use, it is designed to withstand heavy rain and spray (IP66), not temporary submersion in water.

The S5720-EI (Enhanced) focuses on advanced Layer 3 routing and security features. The S5720-HI (High Intensity) is designed for agile campuses, supporting native AC, wired/wireless SVF, and free mobility out-of-the-box.

No, the S5730-SI (Standard) is an entry-level switch with basic features. It does not support the advanced SVF or native AC capabilities found in the HI series.

Native AC refers to the capability of a switch to function as an Access Controller for APs without requiring a separate physical AC appliance, reducing cost and complexity.

No. Only specific models like the S5720-HI, S6720-EI (with limitations), S7700, and S12700 support the full wired and wireless SVF feature set for unified management.

The S6720-SI is a Standard Intelligence switch lacking the advanced hardware and software licenses required for native AC and comprehensive SVF support found in higher-tier models.

Yes, the S5720-SI supports dynamic routing protocols including BGP, just like the S5730-SI.

The S5730-SI offers pluggable dual fans, support for subcards, and higher density 40GE ports compared to the S5720-SI.

No, the S5720-LI is a Layer 2 switch and does not support dynamic routing protocols like OSPF or BGP.

Yes, both the S5720-SI and S5720-LI typically support up to 32,000 MAC addresses.

High-density fixed models like the S6720-54C-EI-48S provide 48 fixed 10GE SFP+ ports. Modular versions can exceed this further with additional interface cards.

Yes, many S6720 chassis include slots for interface cards or uplink modules, allowing administrators to add more 10GE or 40GE ports beyond the base configuration.
