Rich Software Features

IE 4320-EI industrial switch series integrated the switching, routing, ring network protection and security.

Support full layer-2 Ethernet feature sets, with 802.1Q VLAN, protocol based VLAN, Voice VLAN, Guest VLAN, Q-in-Q, flexible Q-in-Q encapsulation and multicast VLAN. STP/RSTP/MSTP, 802.3x Ethernet flow control protocol; support QoS congestion management through data classification and prioritization to ensure transmission of mission critical data; support Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP), Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP), multicasting at layer 2 and layer 2 features such as VLAN registration protocol and broadcast storm suppression.

IE4320-EI switch series supports IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack protocols as well as IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding at full line speed on hardware. It supports IPv4/v6 static routing, routed port, RIP and OSPF (in small scale). In addition, it supports IGMP Snooping, DHCP Server, DHCP Client, DHCP Snooping, DHCP Relay (option 82) and Domain Name System (DNS).

IE4320-EI switch series supports Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP). The Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP) is a link layer protocol dedicated to Ethernet rings. It prevents broadcast storms caused by data loops when an Ethernet ring is healthy, and rapidly restores the communication paths between the nodes after a link is disconnected on the ring by bringing up the backup link. Compared with STP, RRPP has the following advantages: fast topology convergence (within 20 milliseconds); convergence time independent of Ethernet ring size. On intersecting rings, topology update of an RRPP ring does not ripple to other rings, data transmission thus becomes more stable. RRPP also supports load balancing in Ethernet rings, which improves physical link bandwidth utilization.

IE4320-EI industrial switch series implements full Ethernet security features. By enforcing multiple sets of security mechanisms, they effectively limit malware spread and traffic flow attack. The switches support layer 2 to 4 ACL control, block CPU, ARP and DoS attacks. IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication is a client-server-based access control and authentication protocol that restricts unauthorized clients from connecting to a LAN through publicly accessible ports. TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication can implement centralized management for switches, and prevent unauthorized change in user allocation. They also support rapid deployment of End-point Admission Domination (EAD), as well as SAVI-based IPv6 source address validation.

Ethernet Ring Protection Switching（ERPS）is a ring network protection protocol defined by ITU, G.8032. It is a link layer protocol specially applied to the Ethernet ring network. When the Ethernet ring network is complete, it can prevent broadcast storms caused by the data loop, and when a link on the Ethernet ring network is disconnected, it can quickly restore the communication between various nodes on the ring network (within 20 milliseconds).

Intelligent Resilient Framework 2 (IRF2)

H3C IE4320-EI series industrial switches support IRF2 (Second Generation Intelligent Resilient Architecture) technology, which connects multiple physical devices to each other, making it virtual as a logical device, that is, users can regard these multiple devices as a single device manage and use. IE4320-EI series switches can not only perform virtualization through 10G optical interfaces, but also it can be virtualized through the gigabit optical port and the gigabit electrical port, and the IRF2 function can be realized through the network cable. IRF2 provides the following benefit:

Simplify management: After the IRF architecture is formed, it can be connected to any port of any device to log in to a unified logical device. By configuring a single device, the entire intelligent elastic system and all member devices in the system can be managed without physical connection. Configure and manage them separately on each member device.

Simplify business: The various control protocols running in the logical device formed by IRF are also run as a single device. For example, the routing protocol will be calculated as a single device. With the application of the cross-device link aggregation technology, it can replace the original spanning tree protocol, which saves the interaction of a large number of protocol packets between devices, simplifies network operation, and shortens the convergence time when the network is turbulent.

High performance: For Ethernet switches, the improvement in performance and port density is limited by the hardware structure. The performance and port density of an IRF system is the sum of the performance and port numbers of all devices inside the IRF. Therefore, IRF technology can easily expand the switching capability of the device and the density of user ports several times, thereby greatly improving the performance of the device.

High reliability: The high reliability of IRF is reflected in three aspects: link, equipment and protocol. The physical ports between the member devices support the aggregation function, and the physical connections between the IRF system and the upper- and lower-layer devices also support the aggregation function, which improves the reliability of the link through multi-link backup; the IRF system consists of multiple member devices. Once the master device fails, the system will quickly and automatically elect a new master to ensure uninterrupted services through the system, thus achieving device-level 1:N backup; the IRF system will have a real-time protocol hot backup function responsible for the configuration information of the protocol. Backup to all other member devices to achieve 1:N protocol reliability.

Visualization

H3C IE4320-EI series industrial switches support Telemetry technology. The real-time resource information and alarm information of the switch can be sent to the operation and maintenance platform through the GRPC protocol. The operation and maintenance platform analyzes real-time data, which can realize network quality backtracking, troubleshooting, risk warning, structure optimization and other functions to accurately guarantee user experience.

Green Features

IE4320-EI switch series implements a variety of green energy saving features, including auto-power-down (port automatic energy saving). If the interface status is always down for a period of time, the system automatically stops the interface power and the system enters power-saving mode. They also support EEE energy feature, by which if a port stays idle for a period of time, the system will set the port to energy-saving mode. The switches are also compliant with material environmental protection and the EU RoHS safety standard.

Comprehensive Authentication Strategies

IE4320-EI industrial switch series supports AAA, RADIUS authentication, user-based account, IP, MAC, VLAN and port based dynamic or static user identification and binding. The switches also support H3C iMC to implement real-time user management, diagnose and remove illicit network attack.
