Based on Huawei's Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), CloudEngine S5736-S supports enhanced Layer 3 features, simplified Operations and Maintenance (O&M), flexible Ethernet networking, and mature Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) features. CloudEngine S5736-S Series Switches are next generation standard all-optical GE switches, with 48 downlink optical ports and four 10 GE uplink ports. Huawei's S57xx, S67xx, and CloudEngine series now dominate mid-tier procurement lists. An active optical cable (AOC) is a fixed-length optical fiber with optical modules at both ends. It can be directly connected to an optical port on a device. Table 10-3 lists the models and attributes of. All-optical Ethernet switches are a type of switch that provides optical uplink and downlink ports, making them an ideal choice for building an all-optical campus network.
