Description
The CloudEngine S5731-S series offers a range of standard gigabit access switches, with all-GE electrical/optical ports and fixed 10 GE uplink ports.
Built on Huawei’s unified Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), CloudEngine S5731-S switches provide enhanced Layer 3 features, simplified Operations & Maintenance (O&M), Intelligent Stack (iStack) technology — allowing multiple stacking-capable switches to function as a single logical switch — flexible Ethernet networking, and mature Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) features.
The series is widely used in a range of scenarios, including enterprise campus access and aggregation, as well as data center access.

DATA SHEET
Indicator Description
The S5731-S24P4X has the same types of indicators as the S5731-S48P4X.
S5731-S24P4X Power Supply Configuration
The switch is a PoE switch and supports two power module slots, each of which can have a 1000 W PoE or 600 W PoE power module installed. Pluggable AC and DC PoE power modules can be used together in the same switch.
When a switch has two power modules installed, the two power modules work in redundancy mode to provide power for the chassis and in load balancing mode to provide power for PDs.
Heat Dissipation
The S5731-S24P4X uses pluggable fan modules for forced air cooling. Air flows in from the front side and exhausts from the rear panel.
