Q1: What is the maximum PoE power budget of the Huawei S5735-S24P4X?
A: When equipped with dual 1000 W AC (220 V) power supplies, the S5735-S24P4X provides a maximum PoE power budget of 1600 W. With a single 1000 W AC module, it delivers 874 W, offering flexibility for different deployment scales.
Q2: Is the CloudEngine S5735-S24P4X a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?
A: It is a fully managed Layer 3 switch. It supports IPv4/IPv6 static routing, RIP, OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS, making it suitable as an access or aggregation switch in enterprise campus networks.
Q3: Can the S5735-S24P4X power high-density Wi-Fi 6 access points?
A: Yes. With 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE+) and up to 30 W per port, it can efficiently power dense Wi-Fi 6 AP clusters and PTZ surveillance cameras.
Q4: What are the uplink capabilities of this model?
A: The switch includes four 10GE SFP+ uplink ports, providing high-bandwidth aggregation to core switches and avoiding traffic bottlenecks under heavy PoE and data loads.
Q5: What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate?
A: The S5735-S24P4X delivers 96 Mpps forwarding performance, with a device switching capacity of 128 Gbps and a system switching capacity of 336 Gbps.
Q6: What power supply modules are compatible with the S5735-S24P4X?
A: It supports two pluggable power module slots for 1+1 redundancy, compatible with 600 W AC PoE (PAC600S56-CB) and 1000 W AC PoE (PAC1000S56-DB) modules.
Q7: Can I stack multiple S5735-S24P4X switches together?
A: Yes. Using Huawei iStack technology, up to nine S5735-S series switches can be virtualized into a single logical device, simplifying O&M and improving link reliability.
Q8: Does the switch support Fast PoE and Perpetual PoE?
A: Yes. Perpetual PoE maintains power to connected devices during a software reboot, while Fast PoE supplies power within seconds of the device being powered on.
Q9: How large is the MAC address table?
A: The switch supports a MAC address table of up to 32K (32,896) entries, suitable for medium-to-large enterprise networks.
Q10: What is the maximum power consumption of the switch itself?
A: The chassis consumes a maximum of 65 W without PoE devices. When powering 720 W of PoE devices, total power consumption reaches 847 W.
Q11: Can the S5735-S24P4X be managed via the cloud?
A: Yes. It supports Huawei CloudCampus management via iMaster NCE-Campus, enabling plug-and-play deployment and reducing on-site O&M effort.
Q12: What are the physical dimensions and weight of the S5735-S24P4X?
A: The switch has a standard 1U 19-inch form factor, measuring 43.6 mm (H) 442 mm (W) 420 mm (D), with a total chassis weight, including packaging, of 7.39 kg.
