About the H3C S9850-4C Core Switch
The H3C S9850-4C Core Switch delivers carrier-class routing and switching performance in a modular chassis design, making it the ideal choice for enterprise data center and service provider network cores. Built on H3C's proven Comware V7 operating system, this platform supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding with comprehensive routing protocol support including BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, RIP, and Static Routing, alongside advanced overlay technologies like VXLAN and EVPN BGP for modern multi-tenant and cloud-native environments.
Network engineers and IT procurement teams evaluating next-generation core infrastructure will find the S9850-4C (part number S9850-4C) engineered for mission-critical resilience. The switch features N+1 redundant power supplies and fan trays, redundant management modules, and in-service software upgrades (ISSU) to eliminate downtime during maintenance. Hardware-based QoS with 8 queues per port, DSCP and 802.1p remarking, and comprehensive security controls—including MACsec support, ACLs, and control plane protection—ensure deterministic performance and defense-in-depth security. Management flexibility spans NETCONF/YANG, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, SSH, RESTful API, and streaming telemetry, with integration into H3C iMaster NCE and IMC for unified orchestration across heterogeneous networks.
