48x gigabit Ethernet, 4x SFP+

The switch is equipped with 48 gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mb/s) and 4 SFP+ slots (10 Gb/s). It boasts a switching capacity of 176 Gb/s and a packet forwarding speed of 131 Mp/s. The SFP+ slots offer high speeds (up to 10 Gb/s), enabling connections between multiple network segments or high-performance devices such as servers.

48 PoE+ outputs

All Ethernet ports are equipped with 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 380 W, significantly more than what solutions from the S110 series offer. This is sufficient to connect 24 access points using the 802.3af standard, and in most cases, you can even connect more devices, as power consumption typically remains below 15 W.

The use of PoE enables you to power and transmit data through Ethernet cables. 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 S310-48P4X combines the features of both a core and access switch. It offers advanced management functionalities and supports iStack. Additionally, it provides PoE output on all Ethernet ports, making it ideal for office networks. With 48 ports available, some can be used for connecting access points or other PoE devices, while the remaining ones can be used for computers, printers, etc. In certain setups, the S310-48P4X alone may suffice for all users, eliminating the need for additional switches. The SFP+ slots allow for connections to critical devices with 10 Gb/s throughput.
