Managed Switch HUAWEI S310-24PN4X 2.5G Ethernet 24 Ports PoE 1U

The HUAWEI S310-24PN4X is a managed L2+ switch designed for access and aggregation deployments that require higher-than-gigabit speeds and PoE capability. It provides 24 RJ-45 ports that support 2.5G Ethernet (100/1000/2500) for improved throughput over copper cabling, supports 10G uplinks, and delivers a switching capacity of 200 Gbit/s in a 1U form factor. The switch integrates Layer 2+ features including multiple spanning tree protocols, Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) for millisecond-level protection switching, and support for stacking to simplify management and scale port density.

Advantages

The switch combines multi-gigabit 2.5G access ports with PoE power delivery and 10G uplink capability to support bandwidth-hungry devices and aggregated traffic flows. Advanced security controls—such as 802.1X and MAC authentication, DHCP snooping, strict ARP learning, and DoS protection—help enforce network access policies and mitigate common attacks. Operational tools including SNMP, CLI, web/SSH management, remote monitoring (RMON), and cloud management via the HUAWEI eKit app reduce onsite maintenance and streamline configuration and upgrades.

Suitable for

• Small and medium enterprise access layers where multi-gigabit PoE is required for endpoints (IP phones, Wi‑Fi access points, cameras)
• Branch office aggregation with high uplink throughput and stacking for scalable port growth
• Environments that need fast protection switching and link backup (ERPS, Smart Link)
• Deployments requiring policy-based access control and enhanced security features (802.1X, DHCP snooping)

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the 1U mounting ears, connect 2.5G-capable endpoints to the RJ-45 ports and 10G uplinks to aggregation devices as required. Configure VLANs, QoS, and access policies using the web interface, CLI, or SNMP management system; enable 802.1X or MAC authentication to control access. For PoE models, connect powered devices and verify PoE allocation and schedules in the management interface. Use stacking to combine multiple switches into a single logical device when additional ports or redundancy are needed.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use Cat5e or better cabling for 2.5G links and verify endpoint compatibility with multi-gig ports. Enable DHCP snooping and strict ARP learning in mixed user environments to reduce address spoofing risks. If deploying multiple access switches, consider iStack to centralize management and use ERPS or Smart Link to provide millisecond-level protection and resilient uplinks. Maintain firmware via the Huawei Online Upgrade Platform or eKit cloud management to ensure security and feature updates.
