The S series fixed Ethernet switches integrate the access and transmission functions to provide reliable access/aggregation and high-quality transmission of services on enterprise networks. The switches are built on an integrated hardware platform, and their hardware system consists of the chassis, power module, fan module, extended cards, and Switch Control Unit (SCU).
The S series fixed Ethernet switches are available in a variety of models for you to choose based on your network requirements.
S6700 Series Switches Characteristics The S6700 series Ethernet switches are next-generation 10G fixed switches. The S6700 can function as a core switch on a campus network. The S6700 has industry-leading performance and provides line-speed 10GE access ports and line-speed 40GE even 100GE uplink ports. It can function as a core switch on a campus network to provide 40 Gbit/s even 100 Gbit/s traffic aggregation.
S6730-H24X4Y4C FAQ
Q1: How do I switch between "optical port + electrical port multiplexing" on the 4 Combo ports? Is manual configuration required?
A1: No manual switching is needed! The Combo ports automatically identify whether an optical module or an electrical cable is inserted. Optical port is prioritized by default, and electrical port mode is automatically switched when no optical module is available. It's plug-and-play, improving maintenance efficiency by 70%.
Q2: Can 24 25GE ports simultaneously connect to devices with four speeds: 25G, 10GE, GE, and FE? Will bandwidth be affected?
A2: Simultaneous access is supported! Ports independently adapt to their speeds, without interference. The 7.2Tbps switching capacity fully meets full-load operation, with no bandwidth bottlenecks, and maximum compatibility in mixed-speed scenarios.
Q3: What are the core differences between this and the Huawei S6730-S24X6Q (24×25GE+6×100GE)? How do I choose?
A3: The core difference lies in the port configuration: the S6730-H24X4Y4C has 4 more Combo ports (adapting to electrical ports/older devices), suitable for mixed networks; the S6730-S24X6Q has 2 more 100GE ports, suitable for pure high-speed optical network scenarios. Choose the Combo version for mixed devices, and choose the version with more 100GE ports for pure high-speed scenarios.

10GE SFP+ optical port
SFP+
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.
In V200R021C00 and later versions, a RTU license can be loaded to increase the port rate to 25 Gbit/s.

1GE/10GE/25GE SFP28 optical port
SFP28
A 1GE/10GE/25GE SFP28 optical port sends and receives service data at 1 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s, or 25 Gbit/s.
When a 25GE optical module is connected to a port, the port can automatically adjust its rate to 25 Gbit/s.
When a 10GE optical module is connected to a port, the port can automatically adjust its rate to 10 Gbit/s.
Before installing a GE optical module or GE copper module on a port, run the port mode ge command to configure the port to work at 1 Gbit/s.

Console cable
ETH management port
RJ45
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.
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.
Ethernet cable
USB port
USB 2.0 Type A
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.
