What is the maximum PoE power budget of the Huawei S5731-H24P4XC?

When equipped with two 1000 W AC (220 V) power supplies, the S5731-H24P4XC provides a maximum PoE power budget of 1600 W, making it ideal for high-density deployments of power-hungry devices such as Wi-Fi 6 APs and PTZ cameras.

Does this switch require a separate WLAN controller to manage Access Points?

No. The S5731-H series includes integrated Native AC functionality, allowing direct management of up to 1,024 wireless APs without the need for an external WLAN controller.

What is the difference between the S5731-H24P4XC and the S5731-H24T4XC?

The S5731-H24P4XC is a PoE+ switch capable of delivering power over Ethernet to connected devices like IP cameras and APs. The S5731-H24T4XC is a data-only, non-PoE switch. Both share the advanced H-series features, including a 288K MAC table and Native AC.

What uplink and expansion options are available on this switch?

It provides four built-in 10GE SFP+ uplink ports and one extended slot supporting optional subcards, including a 2-port 40GE QSFP+ card, an 8-port 10GE Base-T card, or an 8-port 10GE SFP+ card for additional bandwidth.

What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate of the S5731-H24P4XC?

The switch delivers a forwarding rate of 125 Mpps, a device switching capacity of 288 Gbps, and a system switching capacity of 672 Gbps, suitable for high-performance enterprise access and aggregation.

Can the S5731-H24P4XC function as a campus core switch?

Yes. With a 288K MAC table, Native AC support, 125 Mpps forwarding, and full Layer 3 routing (OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, VRRP), it is often deployed as a core switch in small-to-medium enterprise networks.

Does this switch support VXLAN and network virtualization?

Yes. It supports VXLAN and BGP EVPN, enabling both centralized and distributed VXLAN gateway deployments for unified virtual fabrics.

What power supply modules are compatible with the S5731-H24P4XC?

The switch has dual power module slots for 1+1 redundancy and supports pluggable PoE modules: 600 W AC (PAC600S56-CB), 1000 W AC (PAC1000S56-CB), and 1000 W DC (PDC1000S56-CB).

Does the switch support Fast PoE and Perpetual PoE?

Yes. Perpetual PoE ensures uninterrupted power delivery during a software reboot, and Fast PoE allows devices to receive power within 10 seconds of startup.

What is the maximum power consumption of this model?

The switch itself consumes a maximum of 121 W. With a 720 W PD load, total maximum power consumption reaches 977 W.

Are the cooling fans field-replaceable?

Yes. It uses a pluggable dual-fan module (FAN-023A-B) with hot-swapping and redundancy, plus intelligent fan speed adjustment to optimize cooling and reduce noise.

How many S5731-H switches can be stacked together?

Using Huawei's iStack technology, up to nine physical switches can be virtualized into a single logical device, improving link reliability and simplifying network management.
