Huawei eKitEngine S310-24ST4X 28-Port 10G Layer 3 Managed Switch - 10G SFP+ x4, SFP x16 - SFP/GbE Combo x8

Flexible Ethernet Networking

In addition to traditional Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), eKitEngine S310 series switches support the latest Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) standard in the industry. ERPS is defined in ITU-T G.8032. It provides millisecond-level protection switching based on traditional Ethernet MAC and bridging functions

Diversified Security Control

eKitEngine S310 series switches support multiple security authentication modes including MAC address authentication and 802.1X authentication, and dynamically deliver user policies (VLAN, QoS, and ACL). eKitEngine S310 series switches support port-based 802.1X authentication, MAC address authentication, and multi-mode authentication

Easy Operations and Maintenance

eKitEngine S310 series switches can be managed and maintained using SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3, CLI, web system, or SSHv2.0. Additionally, they support remote network monitoring (RMON), multiple log hosts, port traffic statistics collection, and network quality analysis, facilitating network optimization and reconstruction

Intelligent Stack (iStack)

- eKitEngine S310 series switches support iStack. Multiple switches that support stacking can be logically stacked into one virtual switch.
- Member switches in a stack implement redundancy backup to improve device reliability and use inter-device link aggregation to improve link reliability.
- iStack provides high network scalability. You can increase ports, bandwidth, and processing capacity of a stack by simply adding member switches to the stack.
- iStack also simplifies device configuration and management. After a stack is set up, multiple physical switches are virtualized into one logical device. You can log in to any stack member switch to manage all the member switches in the stack.
- Some models of S310 series switches support two dedicated stack ports, which free uplink ports and do not need to
be configured.

PoE Power Supply

PoE models of eKitEngine S310 series switches provide the following capabilities:

- Fast PoE: PoE switches can supply power to PDs within seconds upon power-on, which is different from common switches that supply power to PDs in 1 to 3 minutes after power modules are installed. When a PoE switch restarts due to a power failure, it continues to supply power to PDs immediately after being powered on without waiting until it completes the restart. This greatly shortens the power-off time of PDs.

- Perpetual PoE: When a PoE switch restarts (for example, during software upgrade), it continues to supply power to downstream PDs, ensuring uninterrupted PoE power supply.

Smart Upgrade

- Based on Huawei Online Upgrade Platform (HOUP), eKitEngine S310 series switches support smart upgrade. They obtain the version upgrade path from the HOUP and download the new system software. The upgrade process is highly automated as it supports one-click upgrade. In addition, this feature supports system software pre-loading, which greatly shortens the upgrade time and reduces the service interruption time.

- Smart upgrade greatly simplifies device upgrade operations, making it possible for customers to upgrade versions by themselves. This feature helps customers reduce considerable maintenance costs. In addition, the upgrade policy of the HOUP is used to standardize the upgrade path, which greatly reduces the risk of upgrade failure.
