Q1: What is the maximum PoE power budget of the Huawei S5735-S48P4X?
A: When equipped with dual 1000 W AC (220 V) power supplies, the S5735-S48P4X delivers a maximum PoE power budget of 1600 W. With a single 1000 W AC module, it still provides 874 W of available PoE power.
Q2: Can this switch power 48 Wi-Fi 6 Access Points simultaneously?
A: Yes. With 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports compliant with IEEE 802.3at and a total budget of up to 1600 W, it can simultaneously power 48 Wi-Fi 6 access points or PTZ IP cameras across all ports.
Q3: Does the CloudEngine S5735-S48P4X support Layer 3 routing?
A: Yes. It is a fully managed Layer 3 switch supporting IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols such as static routing, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP, making it suitable for aggregation or small-to-medium core deployments.
Q4: What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate?
A: The switch provides a forwarding rate of 132 Mpps, with a device switching capacity of 176 Gbps and a system switching capacity of 432 Gbps.
Q5: How many uplink ports does this switch provide?
A: It includes four 10GE SFP+ uplink ports, ensuring high-bandwidth connectivity to upstream or core switches without bottlenecks.
Q6: Does this switch support power supply redundancy?
A: Yes. It features two pluggable power module slots supporting 1+1 redundancy, allowing dual AC or DC power configurations for high availability.
Q7: What power supply modules are compatible with this model?
A: It supports hot-swappable power modules, including 600 W AC PoE (PAC600S56-CB) and 1000 W AC PoE (PAC1000S56-DB).
Q8: Does it support Fast PoE and Perpetual PoE?
A: Yes. Perpetual PoE maintains power to connected devices during a reboot, while Fast PoE enables power delivery within seconds after startup.
Q9: Can I stack multiple S5735-S48P4X switches together?
A: Yes. Using Huawei iStack technology, up to nine switches can be combined into a single logical unit, simplifying management and improving scalability.
Q10: How large is the MAC address table?
A: The switch supports up to 32K (32,896) MAC address entries, suitable for large campus and enterprise environments.
Q11: What is the maximum power consumption of the device itself?
A: The chassis consumes a maximum of 77 W without PoE load. When fully loaded with 1600 W of PoE devices, total system power consumption can reach 1661 W.
Q12: Can the S5735-S48P4X be managed via the cloud?
A: Yes. It supports Huawei CloudCampus and can be managed via the iMaster NCE-Campus platform, enabling remote configuration and zero-touch deployment.
Q13: What are the physical dimensions and weight?
A: The switch has a standard 1U form factor, measuring 43.6 mm (H) × 442 mm (W) × 420 mm (D), with a total weight of 7.64 kg including packaging.
