Questions & Answers
What are the port specifications of the S5700-28C-EI-24S switch?
The S5700-28C-EI-24S offers 20 100/1000Base-X SFP fiber ports plus 4 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45/SFP combo ports, delivering high-density uplink flexibility for campus and enterprise access networks.
Can I install power modules in the S5700-28C-EI-24S?
Yes. The switch features two independent power module slots (redundant or load-sharing) but ships without modules. You can add Huawei SFP5000-PM or equivalent AC/DC power modules for high availability.
Which flexible cards are compatible with the S5700-28C-EI-24S?
The single flexible card slot supports Huawei XFP or SFP+ expansion cards (for 10G/40G uplinks). Choose the S5700-XGW-LC or compatible Huawei modules to scale bandwidth without replacing the chassis.
What is the switching capacity and forwarding performance?
The S5700-28C-EI-24S delivers a non-blocking switching capacity of 128 Gbps and up to 95 Mpps packet forwarding rate, ensuring wire-speed performance for all ports.
Does the S5700-28C-EI-24S support Layer 3 routing?
Yes. It supports static routing, RIP, OSPF, ISIS, BGP and VRRP, enabling dynamic Layer 3 deployment in large campus or data center aggregation layers.
Is Hot‐Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) or VRRP supported?
The switch supports VRRP for gateway redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted Layer 3 connectivity in failover scenarios.
Can I stack multiple S5700-28C-EI-24S units?
Yes. It supports IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) stacking of up to four switches, providing single-device management, cross-chassis link aggregation, and sub-millisecond failover.
What management interfaces are available?
You get a web-based GUI, SSH/Telnet CLI, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, and a dedicated console port, ensuring flexible management and integration with third-party NMS systems.
Does the switch support QoS and ACL features?
Yes. It offers hierarchical QoS, 8 priority queues per port, traffic policing, shaping and rich ACLs for advanced traffic classification, ensuring predictable application performance.
Which SFP transceivers are supported?
The unit is compatible with Huawei SFP modules (SFP-GE-T, SFP-GE-LX, SFP-GE-SX) and third-party MSA-compliant transceivers for multimode, single-mode, and CWDM/DWDM applications.
What is the operating environment for the S5700-28C-EI-24S?
Operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 45 °C, with 10–90% non-condensing humidity. It meets ETSI and NEBS GR-63-Core standards for reliable campus deployment.
How energy efficient is the S5700-28C-EI-24S?
It features Huawei’s SmartPower technology, low-power ASICs, fan speed regulation and power-saving SFP support, reducing typical power consumption to under 40 W.
What are the dimensions and mounting options?
The switch measures 442 × 240 × 44 mm (1U) and supports standard 19″ rack mounting and desktop installation with included brackets.
What warranty and support services are available?
Huawei provides a limited lifetime warranty on the chassis and one year on modules, with optional software maintenance (FW updates), advanced replacement and 24/7 technical support contracts.
Can the S5700-28C-EI-24S be used in data center leaf/spine architectures?
Yes. Its high port density, IRF stacking and Layer 3 routing make it ideal as a leaf switch in small to mid-size data center deployments.
What is the maximum power consumption of the switch?
Without power modules, the base switch draws approximately 30 W. Fully loaded with dual AC modules, maximum power consumption is under 75 W.
