Huawei S9306 Switch – Product Documentation

Product Overview

The Huawei S9306 is a high‑end modular routing switch from the S9300 series, designed for next‑generation multiservice networks. It leverages Huawei’s intelligent multilayer switching architecture to deliver carrier‑grade performance, high‑density Gigabit and 10‑Gigabit port access, and comprehensive L2/L3 switching capabilities. The switch supports advanced features such as hardware‑based IPv6, HQoS, integrated security, and elastic cloud connectivity.

Built with a 6‑slot chassis (plus 2 MPU slots), the S9306 offers a switching capacity of up to 3.84 Tbps and a forwarding rate of up to 2880 Mpps. It supports a wide variety of interface modules, including FE, GE, 10GE, 40GE, and 100GE, enabling flexible deployment in campus networks, metropolitan area networks, data centers, and wide area networks.

The S9306 incorporates Huawei’s Cluster Switch System (CSS) technology, allowing virtual clustering across multiple chassis with inter‑chassis bandwidth up to 320 Gbps. When equipped with ENP (Ethernet Network Processor)‑based line cards, the switch becomes fully programmable, enabling rapid service provisioning without hardware replacement. Additionally, energy‑efficient designs reduce power consumption and noise, making the S9306 an ideal choice for sustainable, high‑performance network infrastructures.
