48x gigabit Ethernet, 4x SFP

The switch is equipped with 48 gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mb/s) and 4 SFP slots (1 Gb/s). It has a switching capacity of 104 Gb/s and packet forwarding speed of 77 Mp/s. With one of the SFP slots, you can establish a connection over very long distances using fiber optic cable.

48 PoE+ outputs

On all Ethernet ports, there is PoE+ power output available. 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 380 W, significantly more than what solutions from the S110 series offer. This is adequate for connecting 24 access points using the 802.3af standard, and in most cases, you can even connect more devices as their power consumption usually remains below 15 W.

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), 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 S310-48P4S combines the features of both a core and an access switch. It offers advanced management functions and supports iStack feature. Additionally, PoE outputs are available on all Ethernet ports. This device is ideal for office networks. With its 48 ports, you can connect access points or other PoE-enabled devices to some ports, while using the remaining ones for computers, printers, etc. In some locations, the S310-48P4S may be sufficient for all users, eliminating the need for additional switches.
