Port Description
10/100/1000BASE-T port
A 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet electrical port sends and receives service data at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, and must use an Ethernet cable. Table 4-1481 describes the attributes of a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet electrical port.
Table 4-1481 Attributes of a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet electrical port
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Connector type | RJ45 |
| Standards compliance | IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab |
| Working mode | 10/100/1000 Mbit/s auto-sensing |
| Maximum transmission distance | 100 m |
10GE SFP+ optical port
A 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical port supports auto-sensing to 1000 Mbit/s. It sends and receives service data at 1000 Mbit/s or 10 Gbit/s. Table 4-1482 describes the attributes of a 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical port.
Table 4-1482 Attributes of a 10GE SFP+ port
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Connector type | LC/PC |
| Optical port attributes | Depend on the optical module used |
| Standards compliance | IEEE802.3ae |
| Working mode | GE/10GE auto-sensing |
Console port
The console port is connected to a console for on-site configuration. The port must use a console cable. The console port is used when a switch is powered on for the first time. For details about the attributes of a console port, see Table 4-1483.
Table 4-1483 Attributes of a console port
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Connector type | RJ45 |
| Standards compliance | RS-232 |
| Working mode | Duplex Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) |
| Baud rate | 9600 bit/s, 19200 bit/s, 38400 bit/s, 57600 bit/s, or 115200 bit/sDefault value: 9600 bit/s |
ETH management port
You can connect a switch to a configuration terminal or network management workstation through the ETH management port to configure the switch locally or remotely. The port must use an Ethernet cable. You can choose to download the software package through the ETH management port in the BootLoad menu. File transfer through the ETH management port is faster than transfer through the console port. Table 4-1484 describes the attributes of an ETH management port.
Table 4-1484 Attributes of an ETH management port
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Connector type | RJ45 |
| Standards compliance | IEEE802.3 |
| Working Mode | 10/100 Mbit/s auto-sensing |
| Maximum transmission distance | 100 mIn V200R012C00 and later versions, you can log in to the switch that contains the ETH management port for the first time through the ETH port. For details, see "First Login to a Switch" in the Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration. If you have logged in to the switch for the first time by pressing and holding the MODE button for 6 seconds or longer and saved the configuration, the default configuration on the ETH port will be cleared. In this case, you cannot log in to the switch for the first time through the ETH port. You are advised to log in to the switch for the first time through the ETH port. |
USB port
The USB port can have a USB flash drive connected to upgrade the switch, or transfer configuration files or other files. The USB port can only connect to a USB flash drive that complies with USB 2.0.
USB flash drives from different vendors differ in model compatibility and drivers. If a USB flash drive cannot be used, try to replace it with another one from a mainstream vendor. Switches support a maximum of 128 GB USB flash drives.
Indicator Description
The S5731-H24T4XC has similar indicators to those on the S5731-H48P4XC except that the S5731-H24T4XC does not have a PoE mode indicator. For details, see Indicator Description.
Power Supply Configuration
The switch can use a single power module or double power modules for 1+1 power redundancy. Pluggable AC and DC power modules can be used together in the same switch. However, the power modules with natural heat dissipation and the power modules with fan cannot be used at the same time.
Heat Dissipation
The S5731-H24T4XC uses pluggable fan modules for forced air cooling. Air flows in from the front side and exhausts from the rear panel.
This figure only shows the airflow direction and does not depict the actual device.
