Currently, Huawei Ethernet Switches in our Metro network in all regions where we are present, to do fast routing in layer 2, and we use the ERPS protocol as a resilience protocol for round links.
We also use CPE equipment for large customers who need equipment that can deliver better quality service delivery.
With Huawei Ethernet Switches we are able to solve problems of high availability, performance and simplicity in scalability in our Backbone.ed equipment that can deliver better quality service delivery.
- Scalability
- High throughput links
- Redundancy of links with resilient protocols
- Fast switching in the event of a redundant link failure.
- MPLS
- Traffic engineering
- Transport of multi services in the same infrastructure.
- Interface de 100G
- Protocolos que garantem a implementação de links redundantes.
- Suporte ao MPLS
- Engenharia de Tráfego
- Revenue Increase
- Greater satisfaction for our customers.
- Greater compliance with SLAs
Huawei Ethernet Switches, like the others, work very well with each other, interoperable with each other.
We use Huawei Ethernet Switches with other vendors and it behaves very well in this scenario.

High performance, no downsides
The Huawei Ethernet Switches come in multiple versions, but we use them throughout our organisation because they are easy to install and maintain. The switches have perfect throughput, with all the network features we require. The PoE capabilities our switches have allows us to power phones and other devices without the need for a dedicated power outlet.
- There is little to no bandwith loss
- Power-over-ethernet is a welcome feature
- VLANs can be configures easily
- One of our switches encounted a hardware defect after 6 months of use (but was replaced within warranty)
- The switches appear to get hotter than what I would expect under normal use
- PoE
- VLANs
- Bandwith maintenance
- One solution means our network managers do not need extensive knowledge and can easily update the network
- They are cheaper than most alternatives
- PoE means we can power devices even in location where a power outlet is not available
While reviewing multiple manufacturers of switches, there are only so many differences when it comes to a "simple" device such a switch. Most competitors have similar features or have features we were not interested in. In the end, the UI of the Huawei switches, combined with the fair price of the devices, made us choose them.

Huawei Switch, good for standard use and low impact
Huawei switches are part of several solutions installed within the company (CANTV), for example in the case of the modernization project of the international platform, 2 pairs of the 5300 series lanswitch were used in each location (Caracas and Barquisimeto), for them the generated traffic was directed during the management of other Huawei teams (Msoft, SBC and UMG)
- Good technical support
- Its configuration is very similar to the Cisco switches
- The cost of the hardware is acceptable but the licenses of use are expensive and in the end its price equals or exceeds the switch of other brands.
- There are functionalities that should be available in the standard version and when they are trying to enable, Huawei support indicates that they have an additional cost which causes inconvenience and difficulties at the time of implementation
- the performance of the equipment is inferior to those of other brands although it is decent.
- For basic and standard functionalities is a viable and relatively cheap option.
- It is not advisable to use it in high-profile projects, it is preferable to use Cisco switches.
The performance of Huawei is lower than Cisco, but initially the costs inclined the decision towards Huawei, but unfortunately, it was not, the licenses and the manager fired the investment to make it very similar to cisco. Therefore it is preferable to go to the Cisco switches for reliability and robustness.
