Advanced Layer 3 Routing

The Huawei S310-24T4S provides advanced Layer 3 networking capabilities suitable for networks that require routing between VLANs and greater control over traffic.

Supported IP routing functions include:

• Static Routing
• Policy-Based Routing – PBR
• OSPFv2
• OSPFv3
• Up to 512 IPv4 FIB entries
• Up to 512 IPv6 FIB entries
• VRRP – Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
• BFD – Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

These capabilities make the S310-24T4S suitable for more advanced business and enterprise networks where a basic unmanaged or Layer 2 switch would not provide sufficient control.

24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity

The S310-24T4S provides 24 × 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing a wide range of wired network equipment to be connected.

Suitable devices include:

• Desktop Computers
• Workstations
• Servers
• NAS Storage
• Network Printers
• Wireless Access Points
• IP Cameras
• NVR Systems
• Routers
• Network Appliances
• Other Gigabit Ethernet Devices

The switch automatically supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps Ethernet connections through its RJ45 interfaces.

4 × GE SFP Fiber Uplink Ports

Four dedicated Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports provide flexible fiber connectivity when used with compatible SFP transceiver modules.

These ports are suitable for:

• Fiber backbone connections
• Inter-floor network connections
• Connecting multiple network cabinets
• Switch-to-switch fiber connections
• Long-distance network extensions
• Campus and commercial building networks
• Connecting access switches to aggregation infrastructure

Advanced VLAN Management

The Huawei eKitEngine S310 Series supports up to 4094 VLANs together with advanced VLAN functionality including:

• Port-Based VLAN
• MAC-Based VLAN Assignment
• Protocol-Based VLAN Assignment
• IP Subnet-Based VLAN Assignment
• Policy-Based VLAN Assignment
• Voice VLAN
• MUX VLAN
• VLAN Stacking

This allows administrators to segment networks according to departments, devices, applications, security requirements, or other organizational policies.

Network Redundancy and Reliability

The S310 Series includes multiple technologies designed to improve network availability and prevent interruptions.

Supported technologies include:

• STP – Spanning Tree Protocol
• RSTP – Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
• MSTP – Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
• ERPS – Ethernet Ring Protection Switching
• Smart Link
• LACP – Link Aggregation Control Protocol
• VRRP
• BFD
• LLDP

Huawei states that ERPS provides millisecond-level protection switching for Ethernet ring networks.

Intelligent iStack Support

The Huawei S310-24T4S supports iStack, allowing up to four compatible switches of the same series to operate as a logical switch.

Stacking can help:

• Increase available network ports
• Increase network scalability
• Simplify switch management
• Provide redundancy
• Improve link reliability
• Centralize configuration

Instead of managing each compatible switch separately, administrators can manage the stack as a logical system.

Comprehensive Network Security

The S310 Series provides extensive enterprise networking security functionality, including:

• IEEE 802.1X Authentication
• MAC Address Authentication
• AAA Authentication
• RADIUS
• HWTACACS
• NAC Authentication
• DHCP Snooping
• Port Security
• Port Isolation
• Sticky MAC
• IP/MAC/Port/VLAN Binding
• DoS Attack Protection
• ARP Attack Protection
• ICMP Attack Protection
• CPU Defense
• Blacklist and Whitelist
• Layer 2 to Layer 4 ACL Packet Filtering
• SSH v2.0
• HTTPS

These security functions allow network administrators to control network access and protect infrastructure against unauthorized devices and common network attacks.

QoS and Traffic Management

The Huawei S310 Series provides advanced Quality of Service and traffic-control functionality, including:

• Inbound and outbound port rate limiting
• Traffic policing
• Traffic shaping
• Eight queues per port
• SP scheduling
• DRR scheduling
• DRR + SP scheduling
• 802.1p priority remarking
• DSCP priority remarking
• Packet redirection
• Layer 2 to Layer 4 packet filtering

These capabilities help administrators prioritize important applications and control network bandwidth.

Multiple Management Options

The Huawei S310 Series offers flexible management options including:

• Web-Based Management
• CLI – Command Line Interface
• SSH v2.0
• SNMPv1
• SNMPv2c
• SNMPv3
• RMON
• NETCONF/YANG
• Huawei eKit Cloud Management

Huawei supports both cloud-based and on-premise management, allowing organizations to select the management method appropriate for their network environment.
