24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Connectivity

The Huawei S310-24P4S provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, allowing compatible network devices to receive both Ethernet data and electrical power through the same network cable.

This makes the switch particularly suitable for IP CCTV cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, access-control equipment, network intercoms, and other PoE-enabled devices.

The 400 W shared PoE budget provides considerably more available PoE capacity than lower-power 24-port switches, making the S310-24P4S suitable for installations containing multiple higher-power PoE devices.

Fast PoE and Perpetual PoE

Huawei’s S310 PoE models support Fast PoE, enabling connected powered devices to begin receiving power quickly after the switch itself is powered on.

They also support Perpetual PoE, which allows downstream devices to continue receiving PoE power during certain switch restart events, including software upgrades. This can help reduce interruptions to equipment such as security cameras and wireless access points.

4 × GE SFP Fiber Uplink Ports

The switch provides 4 × Gigabit Ethernet SFP interfaces for fiber network connectivity.

These uplinks are well suited to fiber backbone connections between network cabinets, floors, buildings, distribution switches, server rooms, and other parts of a structured network.

Compatible SFP transceiver modules can be selected according to the required fiber type, wavelength and transmission distance.

Advanced Layer 3 Routing

Unlike a basic Layer 2 switch, the S310 Series supports substantial Layer 3 routing functionality, including static routing, policy-based routing, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. Huawei specifies support for up to 512 IPv4 FIB entries and 512 IPv6 FIB entries.

This allows the switch to perform routing between network segments and VLANs without requiring all traffic to be passed through a separate router.

VLAN Management

The Huawei S310 platform supports up to 4094 VLANs, together with Voice VLAN, MUX VLAN and VLAN assignment based on MAC address, protocol, IP subnet, policy and physical port. VLAN stacking is also supported.

These features allow network administrators to logically separate departments, CCTV equipment, wireless networks, servers, guest users and other resources.

Network Redundancy and Reliability

The S310-24P4S supports multiple technologies for maintaining network availability, including STP, RSTP, MSTP, Smart Link and G.8032 ERPS. It also supports LACP, VRRP and BFD.

These features make the switch suitable for networks where redundant uplinks and rapid recovery from connection failures are important.

Advanced Security

The Huawei S310 Series provides business-class network security functions including 802.1X authentication, AAA, RADIUS, HWTACACS, NAC, port security, port isolation, sticky MAC, DHCP snooping, IP/MAC/port/VLAN binding, CPU defense, and protection against DoS, ARP and ICMP attacks.

It also supports SSH v2.0 and HTTPS for secure remote administration.

QoS and Traffic Management

Advanced Quality of Service features include inbound and outbound rate limiting, traffic policing, traffic shaping, eight queues per port, DRR and SP scheduling, DSCP and 802.1p remarking, and Layer 2-to-Layer 4 packet filtering.

These capabilities allow administrators to prioritize important business, voice, video and surveillance traffic.

Intelligent Stacking

The eKitEngine S310 family supports iStack, allowing multiple compatible physical switches to operate logically as a single system. Huawei states that stacking can increase available ports, bandwidth and processing capacity while simplifying configuration and management.

Cloud and Local Management

Huawei provides several management options for the S310 platform, including web-based management, SNMPv1/v2/v3, SSH, RMON and NETCONF/YANG-based cloud management.

Huawei’s eKit cloud management environment can also be used to configure, monitor and inspect compatible switches remotely, while organizations that prefer local administration can use on-premise management.

Professional 1U Rack Design

The S310-24P4S uses a standard 1U metal chassis measuring 43.6 × 442 × 220 mm, making it suitable for conventional network racks and cabinets.

The unit uses two built-in cooling fans with intelligent fan-speed adjustment and supports rack, desktop and wall mounting.

Suitable Applications

The Huawei eKitEngine S310-24P4S is particularly suitable for corporate offices, commercial buildings, IP CCTV surveillance networks, hotels, schools and universities, wireless access point deployments, multi-floor networks, network distribution cabinets, server environments, VLAN-based enterprise networks, access-control systems, and fiber backbone infrastructure.

Important Note

The 400 W PoE figure represents the total shared PoE power budget, not 400 W per individual Ethernet port. The number of devices that can be powered simultaneously depends on the power requirement of each connected device. Huawei specifies a maximum total switch consumption of 491.66 W at full PoE load, of which up to 400 W is allocated to PoE.
