Q1: What is the port configuration of the Huawei CloudEngine S5735-S32ST4X?
A: This hybrid switch provides 24 × GE SFP ports, 8 × 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports, and 4 × 10GE SFP+ uplink ports, offering flexible connectivity for mixed fiber and copper deployments.
Q2: Does the S5735-S32ST4X support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: No, it is a data-only switch without PoE capability. For PoE requirements, models such as the S5735-S24P4X or S5735-S48P4X are more suitable.
Q3: Does this switch support redundant power supplies?
A: Yes. It supports 1+1 power redundancy, with an optional second power module for enhanced reliability.
Q4: What power supply modules are compatible with this model?
A: It supports multiple pluggable power modules, including 60 W AC, 150 W AC, 180 W DC, and 1000 W DC options.
Q5: What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate?
A: The switch delivers a forwarding rate of 108 Mpps, with a device switching capacity of 144 Gbps and a system switching capacity of 432 Gbps.
Q6: Does the CloudEngine S5735-S32ST4X support Layer 3 routing?
A: Yes. It includes advanced Layer 3 features and supports IPv4 static routing, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP/BGP4+.
Q7: Can I stack the S5735-S32ST4X with other switches?
A: Yes. With Huawei iStack technology, up to 9 switches can be combined into a single logical device, delivering up to 80 Gbps bidirectional stack bandwidth.
Q8: What is the maximum power consumption of the device?
A: The switch has a maximum power consumption of 66 W. Under typical conditions, it consumes about 47 W at 30% load and 49 W at full load.
Q9: How large is the MAC address table?
A: It supports up to 32,896 MAC address entries, suitable for medium-to-large enterprise and campus networks.
Q10: What are the physical dimensions and weight of the switch?
A: The device uses a standard 1U form factor, measuring 43.6 mm (H) × 442 mm (W) × 420 mm (D), with a total weight of 7.47 kg including packaging.
