Product characteristics

Innovative energy-saving design

• The S1700/S1720/S1720-E supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which enables the switch to enter a power-saving mode when traffic is light.
• The S1700 can adjust the power output for transmissions based on the cable length. It can also set any ports that are not transmitting traffic to sleep mode.
• The models that use a fan-free design reduce power consumption and noise.

Non-blocking and high-speed forwarding

• All S1700 ports provide Layer 2 wire-speed forwarding capabilities to ensure non-blocking packet forwarding. S1700 models provide optical and electrical GE uplink ports, which facilitate user access and are cost-effective.
• The S1700/S1720/S1720-E supports up to 8K/16K/16K MAC addresses, making it easy to expand networks and deploy new services. The S1700 supports Layer 3 static routing and supports IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. The S1720-E supports RIP, RIPng, and OSPF.

Convenient management and maintenance

• The S1700 is easy to manage and maintain, being equipped with a one-key operation button on the front panel.
• Web-managed S1700/S1720 models come with a web network management system, making it easy to configure switches.
• Web/SNMP-based S1700 models allow for the use of an SNMP-based NMS for centralized configuration and management.
• Web-managed S1720 models come with a web network management system, making it easy to configure switches.
• Web/SNMP-based S1720/S1720-E models can support CLI configuration.

Powerful security performance

• The S1700 provides a range of security features, inclusiv 802.1x, RAZĂ, Portal and NAC. The S1700 also supports packet filtering based on MAC addresses or ports in order to defend against hackers and virus attacks.

Great networking and bandwidth extensibility

• The S1700 provides LACP, STP, RSTP and MSTP functions to implement link aggregation and backup. S1720/S1720-E switches support up to 64 MSTP instances for flexible networking.
