1.1 Introduction

Huawei Technologies' Quidway S3100 Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred
to as S3100 series) are wire-speed Layer 2 Ethernet switching products. They are
intelligent network manageable switches designed for the network environments that
require high performance, high port density and easy installation.
The S3100 series provide 10/100 Mbps downlink and 1000 Mbps uplink Ethernet ports.
In enterprise networks, they can serve as access devices for 100 Mbps-to-desktop
applications. In metropolitan area networks (MANs) or various industry networks, they
connect end users or aggregate low end switches through 100 Mbps electrical
interfaces in the downlink direction, and converge at an IP switching center or a large
capacity Layer 3 switch in the uplink direction through GE interface or link aggregation.
Currently, the S3100 series include the following models:
S3126T
S3116T
S3108T
S3126C
S3116C
S3108C
S3100 series switches feature the following advantages:
1) Fan-free mute design, suitable for some quiet environment such as corridors and
offices.
2) Virtual cable test (VCT) supported, convenient for troubleshooting.
3) Bidirectional port rate-limiting with the granularity of 64 Kbps, supporting finer
bandwidth allocation.
4) Up to 4 K IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs, convenient for networking.
5) Remote switched port analyzer (RSPAN), enhancing the monitoring of the
network.
