S1720-28GFR-4TP Huawei S1700 Series Switch

Allocate copper and optical connections

Huawei lists 24 copper Gigabit downlinks and four Gigabit optical uplinks for S1720-28GFR-4TP. Two uplink positions have a copper combo alternative. Record the selected medium for each combo position rather than counting both connectors as independent links. The official S1700 model table explicitly identifies this model.

Separate headline capacity from the application

The listed switching capacity is 128 Gbit/s and forwarding performance is 42 Mpps. These figures describe different measurements, not a guaranteed application transfer rate. Define the endpoint traffic, uplink demand and acceptance workload before selecting the switch.

Prepare management and optical requirements

The S1720GFR group is listed with CLI and console management alongside Web and SNMP. Agree the management network, access policy and configuration backup responsibility before installation. Check required functions against the software actually supplied.

For each optical link, provide the fiber type, length, connector and far-end equipment. Obtain an explicit supported-transceiver match before ordering; a generic SFP list from a reseller is not qualification evidence. State which optics and cables are included in the quote and which are existing customer equipment.

Receive the exact order

Match the full GFR-4TP code on the label to the order and confirm the condition, power arrangement, supplied accessories and support terms. Test the required endpoint ports and selected uplinks, retain the configuration and record any exceptions. Do not infer this model's fan arrangement or warranty from another S1700 variant.
