Monitoring Multilayer Switch Hardware with Huawei

Integrating Multilayer Switch Hardware and Huawei with your monitoring system

To integrate Multilayer Switch Hardware and Huawei with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Multilayer Switch Hardware and Huawei and how that can support your monitoring system.

What is Multilayer Switch Hardware?

A multilayer switch is a computer networking device that can operate at both the Data Link layer and the Network layer of the OSI model (Open Systems Interconnection model). This means that it can operate as both a switch and a router. A Multilayer Switch switches on OSI Layer 2 like a normal network switch, but also combines layer 2, 3 and 4 switching technologies. This provides high-speed scalability with low latency, providing extra functions on higher OSI layers.

What is Huawei?

Huawei is a multinational technology company based in Shenzhen, Guangdong. It is known for its networking and telecommunication products, and consumer electronics. Huawei designs, develops, and sells these products as is one of the largest companies in the networking market.
