Here’s a more detailed, long-form description of the Huawei eKit Gateway S380-L4P1T:

The Huawei eKitEngine S380‑L4P1T Multi‑Service Gateway is a compact, fanless device designed for small to medium-sized businesses, delivering secure routing, switching, and management in one sleek package. Featuring 1 × Gigabit WAN uplink and 4 × Gigabit LAN ports with 802.3at PoE+ delivering up to 50 W total, it can power IP cameras, phones, or access points without external adapters

Under the hood, it offers an 8 Gbps switching capacity, packet forwarding rates of ~300 Kpps (up) and ~420 Kpps (down), and 1 Gbps egress bandwidth, supporting up to 150–200 users and managing up to 32 Huawei eKit APs . A quad-core 800 MHz CPU, 512 MB DDR4 RAM, and 512 MB NAND storage provide responsive performance .

Security is robust, including firewall/NAT, IPSec/PPTP/L2TP/SSL VPN, URL filtering, anti-ARP spoofing, ACLs, and SSH/SSL management . QoS, traffic shaping, and user management allow fine-tuned bandwidth control for critical applications

With no fans, its metal chassis ensures near-silent operation (<30 dB) and low energy use (~7 W typical; ~61 W max including PoE) . Its rugged build (0–40 °C, 5–95% humidity, IP20, MTBF ~76 years) and 0.8 U rack/desktop form factor make it reliable in varied environments.

Management is flexible—accessible via web GUI, CLI, SNMP, RMON, and supports cloud-based oversight for centralized configurations and monitoring. For networks utilizing Huawei eKit APs, the gateway doubles as a local controller, simplifying deployment and eliminating the need for separate WLAN controllers.

Ideal for: SOHO offices, hotels, schools, factories, security installations.
