Preface
The H3C S12500 documentation set includes 14 configuration guides, which describe the software
features for the H3C S12500 Series Routing Switches and guide you through the software configuration
procedures. These configuration guides also provide configuration examples to help you apply software
features to different network scenarios.

VLAN, spanning tree, Ethernet link aggregation, port isolation, LLDP, and so on, and how you can use
these technologies to isolate users in the same VLAN, eliminate Layer 2 loops, divide VLANs, transmit
customer network packets through the service provider network, modify the VLAN tags of packets, and
so on.
