H3C Switch LS 5560-54QS-EI

H3C Switch LS 5560-54QS-EI Overview

H3C Switch LS 5560-54QS-EI is a genuine network infrastructure product from H3C, a major enterprise networking vendor with strong presence in campus, data-center and carrier deployments. Belonging to the H3C family, the LS 5560-54QS-EI unit is built to the original factory specification, so it integrates with existing H3C deployments predictably and behaves exactly as the platform documentation describes. In the network, it is deployed as a standalone unit or as part of a larger managed network, following the standard operating procedures of the platform.

From a specification standpoint, it offers 48 ports for client, server or uplink connectivity; packet forwarding up to 132 Mpps. These are the original factory figures for this model, giving administrators a clear picture of what the unit can deliver before it enters service. Standard mounting, cabling and management practices apply, so deployment follows the same procedures as other H3C hardware already running in the environment.

Typical deployments include general network infrastructure support, general network infrastructure support, and general network infrastructure support. Organizations commonly source it for refresh programs, capacity expansion and spares management, keeping a tested unit on hand so outages stay short and replacements are predictable. The factory detail for this unit reads: “H3C Switch LS 5560-54QS-EI”. This makes it a practical choice when original-spec hardware is required at a predictable cost.

LS 5560-54QS-EI Deployment Scenarios

The S5560 is a Layer 3 aggregation switch with 10G SFP+ uplinks and advanced routing features. In practice, this positions it for aggregation-layer switching: it is deployed for distributing traffic between access switches and the core with high throughput. Administrators typically choose this model when their network needs the 54 ports (fixed) configuration and Layer 3 features and they want a unit whose port layout and feature set match the role without overspending. It is commonly sourced for refresh programs, capacity expansion and spares management, and it integrates with the rest of the H3C fleet using the same management tools and CLI conventions.

H3C Reconditioning & Warranty

Every H3C unit at LinkNewNet goes through a dedicated reconditioning flow: hardware inspection, port-level testing, and verification of the Comware software state on supported models. Units are cleaned, graded and repackaged, and serialized records are kept so you can confirm what was tested. Each unit ships with warranty coverage and access to our technical support team; for H3C-specific questions about IRF stacking, Comware versions or port configuration we can confirm details before you order. Volume and project pricing is available on request.
