Chapter 1 Product Overview
1.1 Preface
H3C S3600 Series Ethernet Switches are wire speed L2/L3 Ethernet switches. They
are intelligent network management switches intended for the use in a network
environment where high performance, dense port distribution, and ease of installation
are required.
Table 1-1 lists the models in the S3600 series:

The S3600-SI series provide:
Basic routing functions and service features.
Basic Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) where devices are connected through
fabric ports for centralized management.
Support the feature includes DDM (Distributed Device Management).
The S3600-EI series provide:
Complex routing protocols and abundant service features.
The Enhanced Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) feature, where the
IRF-supported switches that are of the same type (called units) are connected to
form a “device union” or a fabric. Trough a fabric, you can (1) manage multiple
devices but with one connection and one IP address, thus decreasing the
overheads; (2) expand the network by adding devices as desired, thus protecting
the existing investment; and (3) have high reliability of N + 1 redundancy, thus
avoiding single point failures which can result in service interruption.
Support DDM (Distributed Device Management)
Support DDR (Distributed Resilient Routing)
Support DLA(Distributed Link Aggregation) through LACP and across devices

2.1 S3600-28P-SI Ethernet Switch
2.1.1 Appearance
The S3600-28P-SI has 24 x 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet ports, four 1000 Mbps
SFP interfaces and one console port on its front panel, and on its rear panel one power
input.
Figure 2-2 illustrates the S3600-28P-SI:

2.1.2 Console Port and LEDs
I. Console port
The S3600-28P-SI provides one EIA/TIA-232 compliant console port for local or
remote switch configuration (see Table 2-1).
II. LEDs
You can learn the operating state of the S3600-28P-SI by reading the LEDs on its front
panel (see Table 2-4). Note that at a time a port LED can indicate only the state of
speed, duplex, or data transmission. You can toggle between them by pressing the
Mode button.

2.1.4 1000 Mbps SFP Port Attributes
Depending on your needs, the S3600-28P-SI can provide up to four 1000 Mbps SFP
ports which are numbered as 25, 26, 27 and 28 (optical or electrical) on its front panel.
SFP modules allow for great flexibility in networking because they are hot swappable
and user configurable.
