24x gigabit Ethernet, 4x SFP+

The switch is equipped with 24 gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) and 4 SFP+ slots (10 Gbps). It has a switching capacity of 128 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 95 Mpps. The SFP+ slots provide high-speed connectivity (up to 10 Gbps), allowing for the connection of multiple network segments or high-performance devices such as servers.

24 PoE+ outputs

On all Ethernet ports, there is PoE+ power output. The maximum power output per port, according to standards, is 15.4 W for 802.3af or 30 W for 802.3at. The total power budget for the entire device is 400 W, significantly more than what solutions from the S110 series offer. This allows you to load all ports using the 802.3af standard, which is necessary in large networks with multiple access points.

The use of PoE enables you to power and transmit data through an Ethernet cable. With this type of switch, you only need to run one cable to each access point, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.

Layer 2+ management, iStack

The device fully supports Layer 2 management and also includes basic Layer 3 functions such as static routing. It supports VLANs, multicasts (IGMP Snooping, MLD Snooping), Quality of Service (QoS), and Access Control Lists (ACL). It also supports Spanning Tree Protocols (STP / RSTP / MSTP) and the modern ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) standard defined in ITU-T G.8032.

The switch provides essential network security features. It protects against DoS attacks such as SYN flood, Land, Smurf, and ICMP flood. It also has protection against user-targeted attacks, including rogue DHCP server attacks, IP/MAC spoofing, DHCP request flood, and DHCP CHADDR attacks.

The S310 series supports the iStack function, allowing multiple switches to be logically stacked into a single virtual switch. This simplifies network management and enables the creation of additional backup connections, providing protection against potential failures.

Management is performed through a graphical Web interface, CLI, or using SNMP (v1, v2c, v3) / SSH2.0. Devices in the S310 series can also be managed in the cloud, and in this case, you can additionally use the Huawei eKit app.

Usage

The S310-24P4X combines the features of both a core and access switch. It boasts advanced management functionalities and supports iStack. Additionally, it provides PoE output on all Ethernet ports. This device is well-suited for office networks with multiple access points. You won't need extra PoE switches, reducing network setup costs. Plus, the SFP+ slots allow for connections to critical devices with 10 Gb/s bandwidth.
