Huawei and Cisco Switches Interoperation
VOICE
Over
6.5 million Huawei switches are operating on live networks and their good interoperability has been verified by many customers.
An enterprise may have many Cisco devices running on its network. An enterprise customer's major concern in a network expansion project is how can new devices seamlessly interoperate with Cisco devices to reduce the OPEX. After nearly 20 years development, Huawei switches have been able to interoperate Cisco devices on the forwarding, control, and management planes.
Huawei products are developed in strict compliance with IEEE802.3i (10BASE-T), IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-T), IEEE802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet), Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE802.3z), and IEEE 802.3ae (10GE) protocols, and all their interfaces are interoperable with other devices on the forwarding plane.

on Cisco devices: It has been verified by many authoritative certification companies that Huawei switches are
fully interoperable with
Cisco devices. Huawei switches have passed interoperability tests conducted by Miercom, EANTC, Qihoo 360, and Tolly.

Turkey AveA's campus network project
: Huawei S9700 interoperated with Cisco C6509E through OSPF and used
BFD to speed up OSPF convergence. Huawei S5700 and Cisco 3560 ran VRRP to implement redundancy protection. S5700 and Cisco 2960/3560 ran standard MSTP protocol to build a loop-free Layer 2 network and ensure stable Layer 2 service provisioning.
Thailand Triple T's campus network project
: Cisco C3750 and Huawei S5352 switches constituted a Layer 2 network. C3750 switches ran Cisco proprietary PVST protocol to implement redundancy on the Layer 2 network. S5352 switches transparently transmitted PVST packets so that C3750 switches can calculate a spanning tree using transparently transmitted PVST packets.
Bank of China's converged campus network project
: Huawei S5700/S3700/S2700 and
Cisco
C3750 switches constituted a Layer 2 network. They ran standard MSTP protocol to prevent loops on the aggregation and access layers. The loop-free Layer 2 network provided access to PCs, ATM machines, and query machines, and simplified network topology and service deployment.
China Telcom's HQ campus network ODS upgrade project
: The gateway originally deployed on Cisco C3560 was moved to the S9300 CSS system newly deployed on the network. The S9300 switches worked as aggregation switches and used CSS technology to improve network reliability. Cisco 3560 and Huawei S9300 switches ran standard MSTP protocol to realize redundancy protection on the Layer 2 network, ensuring fast failover upon a link failure.
Lenovo Hong Kong's data center project
: Huawei S9700 switches worked as core switches and used BGP and MPLS to communicate with Cisco C6509 switches in autonomous systems of different regions such as HK Lincoln office, Beijing hub, and HK old DC. This deployment provided high security and fast data switching for the data center of Lenovo Hong Kong.
