CloudEngine S5735-S-V2 Series Switches
Elevate your enterprise campus network with the Huawei CloudEngine S5735-S-V2 series switches. Built on a new-generation, high-performance hardware platform and Huawei's unified software, these switches deliver the power, reliability, and intelligence required for modern digital environments. They provide a robust foundation for both network access and aggregation layers, ensuring consistent, wire-speed performance across all ports.
The S5735-S-V2 series is engineered for demanding applications, featuring enhanced Layer 3 capabilities, flexible port configurations including 10GE uplinks, and mature IPv6 support. With advanced features like uninterrupted PoE and intelligent O&M through Telemetry, these switches simplify network management while ensuring a high-quality user experience and operational continuity for critical business services.
The CloudEngine S5735-S-V2 series balances raw forwarding power with sophisticated network management. With a switching capacity of up to 520 Gbps per system, these switches are designed to handle high-bandwidth traffic without bottlenecks. This performance is complemented by a comprehensive suite of Layer 3 routing protocols, including OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS, ensuring seamless integration into complex enterprise architectures.
Beyond performance, the series excels in reliability and simplified management. Support for up to three power modules in an N+1 configuration, with the ability to mix AC and DC sources, provides exceptional resilience. Operationally, the switches leverage Telemetry to collect real-time device data, which integrates with Huawei's iMaster NCE-CampusInsight platform. This enables proactive fault identification and deep visibility into network health, shifting operations from reactive to predictive.
Navigating the wide range of models and technical specifications within the Huawei CloudEngine S5735-S-V2 series requires a clear understanding of your specific architectural and operational needs. NEXUS ITX helps organizations evaluate these advanced switching solutions to ensure they align perfectly with business and technical objectives.
By focusing on a requirements-led approach, NEXUS ITX helps you analyze your networking environment and map your needs to the most suitable S5735-S-V2 configuration. This process ensures your final selection delivers the right balance of performance, port density, PoE budget, and scalability for long-term success.
Q: What is the primary difference between the S5735-S-V2 series models?
A: The main differences lie in port density (24 or 48 ports), PoE capabilities (non-PoE, PoE+, or PoE++), and uplink/specialty port configurations (e.g., some models include 2.5GE SFP ports or dedicated stack ports). All models are built on the same high-performance hardware and unified software platform.
Q: What is the maximum PoE power output of the S5735-S-V2 series?
A: The series supports PoE and PoE+. With the 'Super Power Supply' feature, specific models can deliver up to 90W PoE++ on a single port, which is sufficient for powering high-demand devices like pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and thin clients.
Q: How does the uninterrupted PoE feature work?
A: This feature ensures that the switch can continue to supply power to connected PoE devices, like IP phones or security cameras, even while the switch itself is undergoing a restart (e.g., during a software upgrade). This maintains the operation of critical endpoints and enhances overall network reliability.
Q: What Layer 3 routing protocols are supported?
A: The S5735-S-V2 series supports a comprehensive suite of Layer 3 protocols for both IPv4 and IPv6. This includes Static routing, RIP/RIPng, OSPF/OSPFv3, IS-IS/IS-ISv6, BGP/BGP4+, and VRRP/VRRP6, providing extensive flexibility for complex network designs.
Q: How does Telemetry on the S5735-S-V2 switches improve network management?
A: Telemetry allows the switches to collect and stream real-time device data, such as CPU usage, memory, and interface statistics, to a network analysis platform like Huawei's iMaster NCE-CampusInsight. This enables proactive monitoring, rapid fault detection, and intelligent analysis of network health and user experience, moving beyond traditional SNMP-based polling.
Q: Can the S5735-S-V2 switches use both AC and DC power supplies simultaneously?
A: Yes. The switches support up to three power module slots and allow for the mixing of AC and DC power modules. This provides flexible 1+1 or 2+1 power redundancy options to meet the specific requirements of different data center or enterprise environments.
Q: How do I determine which S5735-S-V2 model is right for my organization?
A: The ideal model depends on your specific needs for port count, PoE budget, and uplink speed. Nexus ITX can help you evaluate your technical requirements and compare the different configurations to find the switch that best aligns with your network architecture and growth plans.
