This document describes the appendix of the operation manual for Huawei Quidway S8500 series router switches, including the data forwarding process in switching networks and multicast services.
This manual provides an overview of the Quidway S8500 series routing switch, describing its basic configuration steps, data flow processes, and management capabilities. It covers the procedures for setting up VLANs, handling DHCP address allocation, and performing NAT translation.
Key sections detail same‑VLAN and inter‑VLAN communication, DHCP client/server interactions, DNS resolution, 802.1x authentication, and RADIUS integration. The document also includes reference tables for protocol abbreviations and network terminology used throughout the configuration process. This manual is written in Chinese.
| VLAN Tagging Standard | IEEE 802.1Q |
|---|---|
| 802.1x Authentication | Supported |
| NAT (Network Address Translation) | Supported |
| RADIUS Authentication | Supported |
VLAN tagging follows the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
NAT translates private IP addresses to public IP addresses before forwarding traffic to the upstream network.
