Huawei CloudEngine S6730-S24X6Q, CloudEngine S6730-H24X6C, and CloudEngine S6730-H48X6C are Huawei’s new-generation fixed and full-featured 10GE switches belonging to Huawei campus switch, but CloudEngine S6730-H24X6C and S6730-H48X6C belong to S6730-H series switch with routing function while S6730-S24X6Q belong to S6730-S series switch. Therefore, in the network application, what is the differences and similarity among them? How to choose a more suitable model? Let’s see the comparison below:
Switch Series Description
CloudEngine S6730-H Series Switches
Huawei CloudEngine S6730-H series full-featured 10GE routing switches are Huawei’s new generation fixed switches that provide 10GE downlink ports 100GE uplink ports.
CloudEngine S6730-H series switches provide native AC capabilities and can manage 1K APs. They provide a free mobility function to ensure consistent user experience and are Virtual Extensible LAN(VXLAN )capable to implement network virtualization. CloudEngine S6730-H series switches also provide built-in security probes and support abnormal traffic detection, Encrypted Communications Analytics (ECA), and network-wide threat deception. The CloudEngine S6730-H series is ideal for enterprise campuses, carriers, higher education institutions, and governments.

NOTE
100GE QSFP28 interfaces support 40GE and 100GE optical module auto-sensing. The default uplink port is 40GE, which needs to be upgraded to 100GE through the license.
The value before the slash (/) refers to the device’s switching capability, while the value after the slash (/) means the chip’s switching capability.
From the above all comparisons, we shall know that even if CloudEngine S6730-H24X6C and S6730-H48X6C belong to CloudEngine S6730-H Series switches, S6730-H24X6C has 24 ports with 1.68Tbps/2.4Tbps switching capacity; S6730-H48X6C has 48 ports with higher 2.16Tbps/2.4Tbps switching capacity. Even S6730-S24X6Q and S6730-H24X6C has the same 24 ports, S6730-S24X6Q switching Capacity is 960Gbps/2.4Tbps while S6730-H24X6C switching capacity is 1.68Tbps/2.4Tbps.
