l  High-Density Interfaces Line Cards

NSS6600 series provide maximum 384*1GE, 384*10GE, 96*40GE interfaces. The port combination fully satisfies the interface density requirement of campus network scenarios.

l  Highly Reliable Enterprise-class Hardware Design

NSS6600 has enterprise-class reliability and stability to ensure long-term service continuity. Redundant MPUs work in 1+1 hot backup mode. Redundant SFUs work in 1+1 balance mode. Redundant power supplies support work in N+1 hot backup and redundant fan trays design.

l  Intelligent stacking technology

NSS6600 series switch supports Maipu VST stacking function. Two NSS6600 supporting stacking feature are combined to form a virtual switch logically. VST stacking system improves the device-class reliability by redundant backup among multiple member devices and improves the link-class reliability by the link aggregation function across devices. VST provides a powerful expansion capability for campus network.

l  High availability

NSS6600 series switch not only supports the traditional STP/RSTP/MSTP spanning tree protocol, but also supports the G.8032 international standard G.8032 protocol issued by ITU-T. This standard can realize 50ms millisecond fast protection switching of Ethernet ring network.

The NSS6600 also supports Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), which implement backup of uplinks. One switch can connect to multiple aggregation switches through multiple links, significantly improving the reliability of access devices.

l  Perfect security policy

NSS6600 series switch provides various security policies such as user authority/identity authentication, port security, port rate limitation, port monitoring, ACL, loopback detection, and 802.1X authentication; provides various protect mechanisms for user access and network security. It has perfect security function design and supports MAC+IP+VLAN binding and 802.1X authentication security policies, and anti-network storm attack, anti DOS/DDOS attack, anti ARP attack, and anti-network protocol packet attack security technologies. In this way, the attacks and virus can be prevented, and it is more suitable for large-scale, multi-service and complicated-traffic networks.

l  Advanced QoS

NSS6600 series switch supports eight queues per port and the queue scheduling policies such as SP, RR, WRR, and WDRR; rich priority mappings including 802.1p, COS, DSCP; Kbps-level port traffic rate restriction and carriers can limit the rate according to the time period; Tail Drop and RED packet loss algorithm.

l  Zero Touch Implementing

NSS6600 series support Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). It enables the switch to automatically obtain and load version files from file server through DHCP server or USB flash disk.

l  IPv4&IPv6 Dual-stack ability

NSS6600 series switch comes with IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack platform which provides hardware-based IPv4/IPv6 wire-speed forwarding and IPv4/IPv6 Layer3 routing protocols (RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+ and IS-IS for IPv6). With these IPv6 features, the NSS6600 can be deployed on a pure IPv4 network, a pure IPv6 network, or a shared IPv4/IPv6 network, helping achieve IPv4-to-IPv6 transition.

l  SDN Controller Management

NSS6600 can be managed by Maipu BD-Campus controller, which is an integrated SDN platform for campus network. It simplifies campus network security, deployment, and management with the latest software-defined network technologies. It helps the network team complete most of the work on the BD-Campus controller platform. Compared with traditional methods, BD-Campus solution can make the network deployment faster, maintain the network easier, troubleshoot much more efficient, and save customer's overall cost.

l  Free Licensing Policy

Maipu always insists on “One-time investment” free license policy, the standard features and advanced features will be never divided to different version. For any new firmware version, Maipu will share to customers without extra charge. Compared with other manufacturers, Maipu free license policy can better protect users' short-term and long-term investment.
