Chapter 1 Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred to
as the S5500-EI series) are Gigabit Ethernet switching products
developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter
referred to as H3C). The S5500-EI series support diversified service
features, IPv6 forwarding, and routing function, and provide 10GE
extended module slots. Through the H3C proprietary cluster
management, you can streamline network management. The
S5500-EI series are designed to operate at the convergence or
access layer of enterprise networks and metropolitan area networks
(MANs). The S5500-EI series support the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and
can also be used for connecting server groups in data centers.
Table 1-1 lists the models of the S5500-EI series.

Together with an auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port,
each 1000Base-X SFP port forms a Combo port. For each Combo
port, either the SFP port or the auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T
Ethernet port can be used at a time. For the mapping between the two
ports forming a Combo port, refer to Table 1-2.
