Huawei Agile Switches with Native AC and SVF Support
Short answer
BDE S7700, S12700, and S5720-HI switches provide agile features including native AC, wired and wireless SVF, and free mobility.
Question
Key Takeaways
The question tests knowledge of Huawei's Agile Campus product line, specifically distinguishing between standard, enhanced, and high-end switches based on their integrated WLAN controller (AC) and virtual fabric (SVF) capabilities.
Identify which Huawei switches offer native AC, wired/wireless SVF, and free mobility. The correct options are S7700, S12700, and S5720-HI.
Common mistake: Choosing S6720-EI instead of S7700 or S5720-HI. While S6720-EI is a robust switch, it is not typically categorized as having 'native AC' and full wired/wireless SVF in the same agile consolidated manner as the S12700 and S5720-HI, or S7700 in this specific exam context.
Expert Analysis
To determine the correct switches, we must evaluate which Huawei models support the specific combination of native AC (integrated Access Controller), wired and wireless SVF (Super Virtual Fabric), and free mobility. These features are hallmarks of Huawei's Agile Campus solutions.
- S6720-EI: While a high-performance switch, it does not natively integrate AC capabilities or full wired/wireless SVF in the manner required for this specific "agile" definition. It is typically a standalone layer 3 switch.
- S12700: This is Huawei's flagship Agile Switch. It supports native AC functions via its AC license, offers wired and wireless SVF for unified management, and provides free mobility through its integrated AirEngine ecosystem integration. It is a definitive match.
- S5720-HI: The High-End series of the S5720 includes native AC capabilities, supports wired and wireless SVF, and enables free mobility. It is designed specifically as an agile access-layer switch that consolidates switching and WLAN controller functions.
- S7700: As a chassis-based core/aggregation switch, while powerful, the question specifically targets switches providing these features in the context of modern Agile Campus "native AC" implementations often associated with the S12700 and S5720-HI lines. However, comments suggest BDE. Let's re-evaluate S7700 vs S6720-SI. S6720-SI lacks advanced features. S7700 is a core switch. In many Huawei certification contexts, the S12700 and S5720-HI are the primary examples of "Agile" switches with native AC/SVF. However, the S7700 can also support these if licensed correctly, but typically S12700 is the AC-capable aggregation/core. Wait, looking at the comments: "B D E". S7700 (B), S12700 (D), S5720-HI (E). Is S7700 considered to have native AC? Yes, the S7700 can act as an AC. Does it support wired/wireless SVF? Yes. Free mobility? Yes. So B, D, E are plausible.
- S6720-SI: The Standard Intelligence version lacks the advanced licensing and hardware features for native AC and full SVF support compared to the EI and HI versions.
The community consensus points to B, D, and E. The S7700, S12700, and S5720-HI are the models capable of acting as Agile switches with these integrated features.
Exam Strategy
When faced with questions about 'Agile' features like native AC and SVF, focus on the 'H' (High-end) and 'EI'/'SI' distinctions, but prioritize the S12700 and S5720-HI as they are explicitly marketed for these integrated campus solutions. Remember that S7700, being a chassis switch, also supports these advanced features when properly licensed, unlike the more basic S-series or lower-tier X-series. Eliminate switches that are purely data-centric without WLAN integration capabilities.
