Q1: What is the maximum PoE power budget of the Huawei S5735-L24P4S-A?
A: The switch integrates an AC power module that provides a total PoE budget of 380 W, enabling it to reliably power multiple IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) devices such as Wi-Fi 6 access points and PTZ cameras.
Q2: Are the uplink ports on the S5735-L24P4S-A 10G or 1G?
A: This model includes 4 × Gigabit Ethernet (1G) SFP uplink ports. If 10 Gigabit uplinks are required, the S5735-L24P4X-A would be a more suitable option.
Q3: Does the CloudEngine S5735-L24P4S-A support Layer 3 routing?
A: Yes. It is a fully managed Layer 3 switch supporting key routing protocols such as IPv4 static routing, RIPv1/v2, and OSPF, making it well-suited for network segmentation in medium-sized deployments.
Q4: What is the switching capacity and forwarding performance?
A: The switch delivers a forwarding rate of 42 Mpps, with a device switching capacity of 56 Gbps and an overall system switching capacity of 336 Gbps.
Q5: Can multiple S5735-L24P4S-A switches be stacked?
A: Yes. Using Huawei’s iStack technology, up to 9 switches can be combined into a single logical unit, providing up to 80 Gbps of bidirectional stack bandwidth.
Q6: Is this switch fanless?
A: No. Due to its PoE power output, it uses an active cooling system with two intelligent fan modules that automatically adjust speed based on internal temperature.
Q7: Does it support Fast PoE and Perpetual PoE?
A: Yes. Perpetual PoE maintains uninterrupted power to connected devices during system reboots, while Fast PoE enables rapid power delivery within seconds after startup.
Q8: What is the power consumption of the device itself?
A: The chassis consumes up to 53 W without connected PoE devices. When fully utilizing the 380 W PoE budget, total system consumption can reach 451 W.
Q9: What is the MAC address table capacity?
A: The switch supports up to 32,896 MAC address entries, accommodating growing enterprise and IoT network environments.
Q10: Can the S5735-L24P4S-A be managed via the cloud?
A: Yes. It supports Huawei CloudCampus and can be managed through platforms such as iMaster NCE-Campus, enabling remote deployment and simplified operations.
Q11: What are the physical dimensions and weight?
A: The switch adopts a compact 1U short-depth design with dimensions of 43.6 mm (H) × 442 mm (W) × 220 mm (D), and a total weight of approximately 4.31 kg including packaging.
Q12: Does the switch have a USB port for configuration?
A: Yes. It includes a USB 2.0 port that supports USB-based deployment, allowing convenient firmware upgrades, configuration import/export, and log management.
