H3C S6520X-18C-SI Access/Aggregation Switch
Overview
The H3C S6520X-18C-SI is a compact 10G access/aggregation switch designed for campus access layers and SMB aggregation scenarios. It features 16 × 10GE SFP+ ports and 2 × expansion slots for uplink modules (10G/40G options depending on the module installed). With strong L2/L3 routing, IRF support, VXLAN capability, and carrier-grade reliability, it fits well for small aggregation or high-performance access scenarios.

3. Fabric-Ready Virtualization
