Core Features & Differentiators

Each model supports 4×1G/10G SFP+ uplinks for flexible deployment in aggregation, core, or distribution layers.

VSU Virtual Stacking & Redundancy

Supports Virtual Switching Unit (VSU) clustering, enabling smooth failover, unified control, and simplified multi-switch deployments.

Deep Security Stack

Provides ARP/DHCP snooping, IP+MAC+Port binding, NFPP, CPP, ARP anti-spoofing, and ACLs for secure campus access environments

Comprehensive Layer 2/3 Features

Supports VLANs (4K), QinQ, jumbo frames, STP/RSTP/MSTP, ERPS, RLDP, BFD, BGP, OSPFv2/v3, IS‑IS, and RIPng, converting it into both access and aggregation switch.

PoE/PoE+ Power Delivery

PoE models offer 740 W (24-port) and 1440 W (48-port) budgets, on par with IEEE 802.3af/at for powering wireless APs, IP cameras, VoIP phones.

Hot-Swappable Power

Dual power module slots provide 1+1 redundancy, enabling non-stop operation even during maintenance.

Energy & Cooling Efficiency

Variable-speed fan control and energy-optimized hardware reduce noise and power consumption, suitable for enterprise access stacks.

Deployment Scenarios

Gigabit Campus Access

24/48-port RJ45 models provide high-throughput wired access; fiber versions enable secure building distribution.

PoE-Powered Deployment

PoE/PoE+ models support high-power edge devices like Wi-Fi 6 APs, PTZ cameras, and VoIP telephony.

Edge Aggregation in Enterprise/SMB

With 10G uplinks and L3 routing, RG-S5310 can operate as both Access network and Aggregation Switch.

High-Density Fiber Access

SFP models ideal for data centers and campus labs needing fiber connectivity for endpoints.

Future-Ready Campus Fabric

Modular OS and IPv6 support positions RG-S5310 as a future-proof campus backbone switch.

Deployment & Management Experience

  • Zero-touch Integration: Auto-provisioning via Ruijie INC controller for “plug-and-play” access.
  • Seamless Upgrades & Maintenance: Hot-swap fans and power modules, minimized downtime in luxurious deployments.
  • Unified Management: Managed via CLI, Web, SNMPv3, sFlow, RMON, and Ruijie Cloud platforms.
  • Robust Resiliency: Millisecond-level recovery states from VSU, RLDP, ERPS, and VRRP.
